I need some insight here guys, Anyone has an idea the last time BB made a pre-order/Info-letter page like that (if it was ever done) how much time there was between this and the phone availability?
Interesting that they had told my carrier sources that it was 3400mAh (even) and now it's 3410 (see my earlier thread about the confirmed battery rating).
I know it's a negligible difference, but I wonder why they would ballpark it...
If I remember correctly the Passport was like two weeks and the Classic one month. Or maybe the other way around? And the Z10 was what, six months with all the delays
Point being: different phones, different announcement time to release.
So we can conclude that Priv is in the leading group of battery life in the premium segment along with the S6 Active and Nexus 6p, outclassing a lot of rivals.
Blackberry PRIV - 3410 mAh
Iphone 6 Plus - 2915 mAh
LG V10 - 3000 mAh
LG G4 - 3000 mAh
Note 5 - 3000 mAh
S6 Edge - 2700 mAh
S6 "normal" - 2650 mAh
S6 Active - 3500 mAh
HTC One M9 - 2840 mAh
Nexus 6P - 3450 mah
OnePlus - 3300 mAh
Sony Xperia Z5 - 2900 mAh
Moto X Style - 3000mAh
For that many people that are looking for a phone with a big battery, the Priv already is in a good position grab a few extra sales.

That battery size definitely makes me feel better about the Priv. With it looking so thin, I thought they would skim on the battery capacity, I'm glad to be wrong.
I currently have a Note 4, it has a 3220mAh Battery and 5.7inch screen, I just hope the 5.4inch screen paired with the 3410mah battery will really last all day long. As an heavy user, I barely can get at the end of my day (It maybe be because I spend 1/3 of that time switching from app to app... God do I want that Hub app so bad. and half the time typing is correcting typos!)
A Frustrated old Blackberry user wanting the best of both worlds...
I'll do the math. 3410mAh is 5.9% bigger than 3410mAh. If your "all day" usage* is 18 hours of usage or 1080 minutes then all things being equal you will get ~63 more minutes.
*note: my record for all day usage is about 29 hours! Good battery pack is your friend ALWAYS!
