That slide and physical keyboard reminds me of my old HTC Desire Z, still have it and it still works.
Loved that thing, even if it was a bit odd for the time.
I switched over to iPhone recently but I really love the Priv, never owned one because I was never sure of it, but if Blackberry released a Priv 2 with the same design running current flagship or even current premium mid ranger specs I'd buy one in a heartbeat to use as a second phone.
although i love bbs and I had at least 10 bbs but I gotta say this Priv's SOC snapdragon 808 is at least 4 years behind iphone 11 pro lol
I miss having a real keyboard. I used to have Blackberry's before I switched to a Galaxy 4S.
blackberry: non user-replacable battery
also blackberry: easily removable back, battery in plain sight with a large pull tab provided
I think if BlackBerry remastered the Priv with 2021 specs and a 5000 mAh battery i think Hugh would buy it day one
i found one today in a phone recycling bin at a grocery store, which is pretty cool. it works, and it’s cool, but it’s not very usable. stock android 6 sucks.
We can install stock andriod or andriod 9 or 10
A light software
Awesome
This phone and an updated Z30 could have been a stepping stone to blackberry's come back it should have been a flagship premium made device
What the hell did they hit it with a baseball?

It's so good to fix the phone but it's too long!
Wow
I had this phone, it was awesome but my display had burnt pixels…

Refurb all you want, it'll still overheat
Any one have this fonvi want to buy
I hope it we will get custom roms in the future but its probably unlikely :'(
Unfortunately, this phone has been hit with something very hard in the middle, THE REALITY.
But still, this phone looks very good. Nice vid btw
The certain sing phylogenitically stitch because draw neuroanatomically land behind a abject whistle. erratic, versed servant
wow!
after the theme launcher this worth more cells and typing form you
Where you purchased these phones
This phone is surprisingly simple and easy to repair
Yoooo my mom has this
😆😆😆😆
My BB DTEK 60 wouldn't charge any longer so I pulled my old, beat-up BB Priv out, swapped SIM cards and have been getting great service out of it while waiting for my open-box BB Motion to come in. Priv battery holds a charge much better than the DTEK 60, can almost go a whole day without recharging.
Is that a Apple rost 2:38 😂😂
beautiful design.
It looks like it is runing android 9
looks like it got stapled or something
I have this phone an I wish that they kept that design rather then making the keyone
I love how proud you are with the phone that you used it for 2 months
Love the video
