Blackberry Priv 32GB (AT&T)

It may not be the newest Android, but the hardware makes up for it. BlackBerry has abandoned this phone, it's 2 years old now after-all. It wont be getting any new Android version but it has some awesome perks that make up for it. - The camera doesn't do well in low light (Very noisy images), but it does amazing is bright light. Great for daytime photos/videos. It takes very high resolution images (4K photo/video), and is packet with awesome (manual) camera code features. (Like ISO) You can get some nice shots with this thing. Saying that, the "slow motion" feature on the camera is super low resolution and doesn't produce very good video. - The screen's curve might be seen as a gimmick, but it looks and feels nice. The screen is also super crisp high resolution with wide viewing angle. - Notification LED always gets your attention and is colored so you can know which app produced the notification. - Speaker captures phone call audio well and is passable for sharing music out loud. (Unlike most phones where no one can hear it because the speaker is so small) As a matter of fact, I used the phones speaker in my car for podcasts/music before I bought a bluetooth stereo, and it held up despite even loud road noise. - The back of the phone has a nice holographic rubbery texture, looks almost like carbon fiber. The rest of the phone is solid and metal, doesn't feel flimsy despite the fact that the whole phone can slide to reveal the keyboard. The screen is also tough and scratch resistant. - Sliding mechanism feels good even after heavy use, you will notice the slide sounding a bit more sanding and less smooth after a few weeks of pocket carrying, but it doesn't prevent it from actually sliding smooth. It holds up. - Despite the physical keyboards small size, it is amazing. The buttons are tactile and feel good to press, has a nice click, and the back light does it job very well. You can also use the keyboard to scroll and do typing gestures (it is touch sensitive), which work pretty decently. Overall, it is a great phone. I wish the market would suppose phones like these.

I can't really give a proper full in-depth review at this point in time as I've only had this phone for less than a month, but from the experience that I have had with it so far I can safely say that my initial impressions about this phone are fairly good - pretty much all the frustrations that I've mostly had with it turn out to be just me learning all the quick little shortcuts (which are fairly easy to learn, especially thanks to BlackBerry Help), and with each little shortcut learned, using this phone just keeps getting better and better. I will say that my one gripe with this phone oddly enough happens to be the battery life - thanks to the tools BlackBerry provides on this phone I've found out that the battery drain mostly comes from the screen, but I've also noticed it when I'm either downloading multiple updates (by multiple I mean about 8-10+) or when I'm using the navigation app from Google; if I'm not doing that then the battery last the whole day with some energy to spare - when I am doing this the battery doesn't last at all - the worst was when I recently took a 2+ hr trip up the NW coast; the battery started at 84% and at about 90 minutes into the trip my phone was telling me I had less than 20% - Not cool, Google Nav. Other than that, the phone is definitely worth the price.

Very sturdy phone. Camera is amazing. Speakers are also good. Display is truly bright and colourful. The shortcuts available when you swipe down the screen, is now enough. Emails fail to download when i dont connect to WiFi or data for few hours but only download that arrive after I reconnect. I was using LetV1S before. The charging was faster. Overall good phone

Excellent device. I am using it for a few days and I find this device flawless so far. I have always been a BBs fan but due to unavailability of smart phones from BlackBerry I was forced to use other handsets. Now im so happy to be a BlackBerry user again. BTW, im using it on T-Mobile network and its working absolutely fine. LTE, VoLTE all good..

Skip this one. Very buggy still after a year of patching. Device keeps giving pop ups like it knows best. Keeps asking to connect to their BBM message app after repeatedly saying no I don't want your junk. I had to install it just to shut it up. Pop up asking to connect to WiFi even when shut off. Many of these issues that just makes the whole experience frustrating. All of this is just indicative of the attitude BlackBerry has of them assuming they know what's best for u and thinking they are too smart to be ignored. Horrible attention to program design. I mean how can u screw up an android os? Well BlackBerry managed to somehow. If this was my first Android device used, I'd think Google was to blame but thank God I had a Samsung Galaxy to know android os is actually real easy to use and is not like an annoying salesman that won't go away. I'm not gonna waste anymore time with this device including writing this review. Returned. Refunded

I don't really know how to honestly review this item! I absolutely love the blackberry priv!!! My work phones have always been Samsung Galaxy's x and my wife has had every iPhone. Overall the priv has always been my favorite , that's why I have 2nd and a 3rd in the box since the phone is the last high end phone blackberry will be making. That being said, I have service through AT&T which uses the model STV 100-1. I purchased all 3 phones through Amazon and the last 2 recently. Both phones came with paperwork showing I ordered the STV 100-1 model but they actually shipped model STV 100-2 ( Verizon Model) . The distributer offered no help with the confusion on the models other than we will look into our distribution process and issue a full refund, if returned. As a customer, all I wanted was the dang phones I ordered. At this point , I was upset and was having trouble finding anything other than factory refurbished models, which I really was not interested in. I had both phones packaged and ready for return the next morning and decided to do a little more research on the different phone models because I really love this phone. After a couple hours reading all the reviews on amazon, I determined this was a Verizon Model, it was factory unlocked and from most of the reviews, most people couldn't even get it to work on Verizon. I figured out the model was set up to work on carriers that use Sim cards like AT&T and T mobile. So I opened that baby up and although the initial setup was quite slow, everything works like a champ, just like my AT&T model. Had I have received the item I ordered, I would have given a 5 star rating. The lack of help from the distributer, the two week process and the waste of my time is why I'm giving a high but I think fair 3 rating. Hopefully this helps some poor soul like myself that gets sent a different model from what he ordered and doesn't feel like sending it back, reordering and getting sent the same wrong model a second time.

Since I am not a member of Apple believer, I have been looking for the best Android phone. I have finally met the one. Thank you for adopting Android system for your original smart phone.

Purchased one PRIV for myself previously praying no issues as many have quoted. Am in Iraq and is the only means for communication. Has been fantastic. However this recent purchase of another PRIV is a flop. Unit heats up, overheat warning is received and unit shuts down. Wife did not turn on all night. In am, turned on, alert immediately received. Requesting a replacement immediately now..

En cuestión de hardware, el bb priv es simplemente excelente. A mí el sistema operativo bb 10 me encantaba, pero después de tres años, el simulador de android empezaba a sufrir para correr las aplicaciones y varias de ellas simplemente no funcionaban bien. El sistema operativo android del bb priv está bastante cuidado y bb se tomó la molestia de darle una serie de toques que dejan recuerdos gratos de su antiguo SO. Recomiendo mucho este teléfono. Lo único que le faltó es infra rojos, para poder usarlo de control remoto de la tele.

es de los mejores telefonos de gama alta en el mercado, tengo tiempo usandolo y no me da ningun problema,muy rapido y elegante, podria decir que es mucho mejor que un samsung s7 edge que le salio linea rosa en muy poco tiempo de uso.

Excelente equipo, fluido y elegante, además de super bien construido, de muy buena calidad!!! Lo recomiendo ampliamente, muy buenos materiales

Excelente equipo. Llevo casi un mes con el equipo y cada vez me sorprende más. Valió la pena la compra.
