10... that's a start
Did they say what the price is? Is it still $799? WIND just told me it will be available in store tomorrow but the price is $899 lol.
Sorry - didn't ask for pricing since mine is an upgrade $399.99
It's $799.99 still.

Called my local Rogers plus store (southern Ontario) asked about the Priv -- dead air and then said o we will get them in however no idea when . at least I got a laugh go figure eh .
If that the is device upgrade price I hope it is for off-contract. Otherwise you were screwed three ways by Satan.
That's a contract price...
Z30STA100-5/10.3.2.2639
Gulp! I was considering a device upgrade from BlackBerry Q5 to BlackBerry Priv but for CAD399.99 I might have to reconsider and/or wait at least 6 months for the price to settle out at sometime more reasonable. Two-year contract plus CAD399.99 is highway robbery by Rogers. The BlackBerry Priv is not a premium device in terms of technical specifications.
Disagree that it's not premium for many many reasons.
BlackBerry Priv!!
Really depends on what you are looking for... if you want a keyboard, it's the most premium device on the market.
But I agree... wait a little, at least till BlackFriday.....
I'm just kinda happy that someone is from Brampton Ontario like me lol. I can't wait to get this phone

Just played with a Priv at Rogers. All the reps said it was best Android phone by far. They were excited!

Calgary but all Rogers Plus stores across Canada will have them. Try Polo Park or St Vital?

I might have to take a drive to Polo and check it out, thanks!

Telus has the accessories at Shop Blackberry prices. Getting the phone at Rogers at 10am and crossing the street to Telus for the Tan flip cover and the black pull hard case.
BOOM!
Are kidding me? Wait until Black Friday?? - I can hardly wait till tomorrow LOL
Huh? What other than the front facing camera isn't 'premium' to you?
What a joke statement
The AMOLED screen is not optimal for brightly-lit environments as far as I can remember from prior discussions about earlier BlackBerry smartphones. BlackBerry needs market share so the off-contract price of the BlackBerry Priv should be a loss-leader for the initial 2-3 months and based on sales-to-end-user figures the price can be bumped-up by 150%-250%. Of course this release might be John Chen's way of saying "I told you the hardware business is not profitable for us. We are now a services-only company. Yay! I will take my cash-out cheque in cash and bid you ado."
And as dawn slowly illuminated the landscape there was a thunderous sound of millions of boots running towards their nearest wireless carrier outlet while others quivered nervously awaiting the arrival of the FedEx driver. ;-) A wee bit of levity for BlackBerry Priv Launch Day.
