If I were to get the BlackBerry Priv, I definitely won't be getting it through the U.S. carriers. I had to wait what felt like eons to get my Q10 through AT&T. I'd probably get it unlocked directly through BlackBerry.
Amen to this! I got my Z10 through AT&T "at launch" a full two months after it was launched. I'll be heading to Amazon to get the Priv with that lovely 3.99 overnight shipping on Prime.
I really hope you're joking. I have the unusual case of having a personal connection to the UK, Canada and the US and believe me, there are stereotypes abound in each location.
