So what was your lame excuse for taking the plunge?

Everyone at times has a strange way of justifying a purchase.

For me it was the dating apps. Lol. (keeping an edge as a single guy)

That's my story.

And you needed a $700 android device for these dating apps?

You could have spent $60 on a BLU device or even $100 on a Moto E.

No. However as the original post states. It's about the strange ways we justify a purchase

I don't feel 700$US is a lot to drop on a device. Apple products cost more and IMHO are junk.

Alright agreed on that.

I haven't yet. Still using my trusty ol' Z30.

I'm waiting to hear from BlackBerry how well it's actually selling and if they actually integrate things into the hub.

I carry two devices the Priv being the main device and apple 6s as a secondary. The Priv was well worth the money I spent just can't wait for the updates.

I was just bored with my BB10 Passport and wanted something new.

Usually only keep a phone for about 12 months max.

I'd like to think that mine was more of a valid reason than a lame excuse! I love BB10 but I was just getting tired of not having apps, not having integration, and having to choose between my traditional BlackBerry keyboard and my screen size. It's been better than I hoped for. I've been using the voice controls constantly. The dictation is incredibly accurate and the search functions are very intuitive. Despite all the fear-mongering of some people, I found that everything works, works well, and is lightning fast. No, I'm not enthusiastic about Google seeing everything I do and knowing everything about me, that's the downside. But I'm a bit sad now to realize how much functionality I've been missing all this time. I wish BlackBerry could have done this on their own operating system, because I still prefer BB10 for navigation, but its too late for that. This phone just does everything a smartphone should do, and I guess I was tired of not having that. By the way this entire reply was dictated without a single mistake. I haven't tapped a single key.

Ok one mistake I'd never leave out an apostrophe with my own fingers!

Haven't taken the plunge yet, waiting for marshmellow to be released. - But i am extremely happy to see the camera app has gotten quite a bit better since release, my friend at work has a Priv.

Also have to recover after spending way too much on christmas presents lol.

My Motorola RAZR HD wasn't going to be getting updates past Kitkatt, was getting slow and had poor battery life, even with a new battery installed. The poor thing was going downhill fast, so a new phone was rather urgent. I wanted to have something that would get updates for at least the next 3 years and voila!, the Priv was announced. It's the most secure Android platform in full production and my clients like to see my equipment as being secure. I'm a physical & operational security consultant with some govt. clients, so it's a bit of an issue.
I'm pretty happy with the build quality, battery life and Android 'L' features. I look forward to the BB 'M' Android release as yet another improvement to my communications security and functionality.

Too many mistakes on a touch keyboard. Needed my BB physical keyboard back.

Starbucks app is a frequent flyer with me.

Had $60 worth of rewards points I had to use up before my phone provider discontinued the program.

I had a Z10 since launch. My battery life was horrible, even with the extra battery and a charger. My parents decided to buy me the Priv as a belated birthday gift, but on plan. Paid $300 for it, and I have been on carrier plan since 2008, so it's not like I anchored myself with it.
