    BlackBerry Priv user from TN so I've tested it with the aims that I have. It works with Jio but no VoLTE so you will have to use the jio 4g app for voice. But you do have 4g data speeds.

    Airtel 4g works too but no idea about VoLTE since they haven't launched it yet.

    Works with Vodafone 3g ofcourse, but I don't know about 4g since they haven't launched it in TN yet.

    Works with BSNL 3g which I use as my main sim.

    Interestingly, when I compare it to my Galaxy S6 for network signal, the Priv shows lower signal bar than my S6 for Jio and BSNL but when I tested data speeds and call quality, they were both on par with the S6. So even though it shows lower bars you're getting the same speed/Quality.

    Where did you order stv100-1? According to http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...ncies-1043968/ STV100-3 is most compatible with India network as it uses LTE bands 3,5,40 .

    STV100-1 lacks band 40. So you may run into some coverage or lower speed issues.

    Yes stv100-3 is the Indian model but it's price is high so only I go for stv100-1 which I'm getting from a store in US. They deliver it to India

    yes but you won't get the fastest LTE speeds. My understanding of Jio is this.

    Best coverage: Band 5 > Band 3 > Band 40.

    Best speed: Band 40 > Band 3 > Band 5

    So as far now I can use 4g at lower speed, ok I can adjust. Soon when stv100-3 price drops I will exchange.

    I have a -1 yeah but rather than care about 4g bands I suggest you find which carrier has higher speed in your area. 4g doesn't mean much in India. Yes in some areas you get 22Mbps but in others, same phone, same carrier you will get 4Mbps.

    Test speeds in your area. In my locality in chennai I get better speeds on BSNL and Vodafone 3g than I get from Airtel and Jio 4g. I have no idea about idea 😂 Off topic but how's Vardha treating you? M

    Haha! Isn't that what everyone is going to do? I personally don't use my sim at all. Just got it for the sake of getting it since I'm on wifi 24/7.

    The Priv is good. I got it mainly for the keyboard as I need it for Whatsapp. Performance is good. No hanging or heating. My only issue is the camera. Front cam sucks. It feels like a VGA camera. back cam is okay. Nothing great but okay ish. Battery lasts long, Screen clarity and response is great. Speaker is nice and loud. It's a good phone and I'm happy with it. But why did you get the Priv? Because of the keyboard? If it wasn't for the keyboard I would have got another phone.

    First thing is I'm a BlackBerry fan,now using q10, but I need some app support so only I'm going for priv. I luv the look that's the main reason and I don't much like the keyboard. I consider DTEK50 but hate that design there is no trademark name or logo in the front.

    The front/selfie camera is not very good if you are into that, although the few times I've tested it, I guess I did not care.

    The regular/photo camera is quite good but some folks want it better or a better camera app.

    See this thread and decide how adequate it might be. There are more than some super photos in there:
