Coming in up with a good cosmetic design with high price tag is one thing, equipping the device with chips and functionalities that is worth the price while at the same time satisfying the consumer is entirely another thing. I wonder why the OP didn't bother giving a detail of the specs of the phone; processor, RAM, camera strenghten, and very importantly everyone knows how disappointing BB has been when it comes to battery.
Well like their previous models, in less than 3months you would see a sharp and continuous decline in price when the short falls of the phone would come to limelight.

Learn not to argue if you can't make simple research.
Does this even justify that it's more expensive than S6edge and iPhone 6s.

Btw...blackberry will release the bb10 version of this later. According to their ceo. Mr chen
wearobo:
Yes BlackBerry Priv slider smartphone that runs on Google's Android OS can be pre-ordered by those living in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada starting today. The handset is priced at $700 in the United States, $900 CND in Canada and £559 in the UK. As you can see, pricing for the Priv varies according to where it is sold.

If we should go by the US' pricing, the BB Priv would cost as much as N139,000 in Nigeria. Yeah the handset is more expensive than the iPhone 6S or even the Galaxy S6 Edge. This goes to show that BlackBerry is targeting enterprise users who wants security and wants to do more than only business on their phone.

Can they sell 5 million of the Priv before 2016 runs out?

BlackBerry. The holy grail of smart phones. Been using different BBs since ages ago with no regret. It reminds of a sweet black girl with rich endowments


I just can't leave BlackBerry. I don't no why. I really like their phones. Still waiting for passport to come down small before I change over.

All this wailing haters of BlackBerry be complaining that the price would drop; I bet it won't drop so easily like that. Did the price of passport or porch drop easily like that? Only BlackBerry 7 got their prices dropped easily. Whether you like it or not rich dudes and babes would get it so no story.

the gadget is a must get...... combining the security, premium feel of bb with the most flexible os ever built ( android ) is mouth watering.

nonetheless, bb manual key pad has always been a turn off for me:love typing with both hands and love spaces btw my keys

I've been looking forward to this phone, but that price is too steep. No way I'm paying 559GBP for a phone.
I'm still gonna buy it, but I'll wait a few months before I do so.

Did you check the price of iphone 6s before you posted this thread?

The BB Priv is the next flagship, if you don't buy flagship devices whether its iphone or samsung, love it with your eyes not your pocket.
