Unlocked BlackBerry Priv can be found for $299

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Jaime Rivera

The BlackBerry Priv clearly made a ton of headlines since launch for two very specific things. The first was obviously the fact that it was BlackBerry’s approach to Android, and a very decent one indeed. The other was because of its crazy $700 price tag. That has actually changed over time, but now it has hit an all-time low.If you’re in the market for a BlackBerry Priv, the AT&T unit is currently offered for $299 on eBay. Yes, we know the title says that this is an unlocked unit, but that’s because the seller will actually include the unlock code in the box. Getting ...

Should BlackBerry kill BB10 now?

Posted on January 31, 2016January 31, 2016 by Adam Doud

BlackBerry is a confusing company these days, which makes it a natural subject for the Weekend Debate. BlackBerry has gone through a few iterations while reinventing itself. We have seen BB10, physical keyboards, and most recently, a jump to Android. It’s this last point that I want to take a look at as we look into 2016 and try to determine just what BlackBerry has up its sleeve for this. Specifically, is it time to kill off BB10 and go all in with Android?NaturallyRight off the bat this seems like an easy answer. Of course it should. But when you look more closely, the waters get ...

3 great BlackBerry 10 features (that might die with it)

Posted on January 27, 2016 by Michael Fisher

In 2016, most chatter that includes the word “BlackBerry” is focused on the company’s Priv handset, and for good reason. As BlackBerry’s first Android phone, the Priv is a dramatic shift in strategy (and a tacit admission that the company’s previous one wasn’t working). As one of the few Androids with a physical keyboard, it’s also a sorely-needed bit of novelty in a landscape otherwise dominated by ever-homogenizing slabs. Despite its flaws I quite like the ...

Blackberry Priv review: an imperfect union

Posted on November 18, 2015November 18, 2015 by Michael Fisher

After over a week with the BlackBerry Priv, I’m still not entirely convinced it’s real. I was joking when I tweeted that it felt like a phone from an alternate universe, but just barely. If you told me the Priv was a prop from the set of a 2005-era science fiction movie, some decade-old concept for what the future of BlackBerry would be, I’d probably believe you. That’s a testament to the level of consistency BlackBerry has achieved with the Priv: no matter what else it is, ...

BlackBerry Priv second impressions: the comedown

Posted on November 12, 2015November 12, 2015 by Michael Fisher

Every smartphone geek knows about the “honeymoon phase,” the epic high immediately following the delivery of a new device, during which it can seemingly do no wrong. This phase has been documented in countless unboxing videos at Pocketnow and elsewhere, and it’s what led to my near-manic elation in the BlackBerry Priv first-impressions piece I wrote earlier this week. Novelty junkie that I am, the honeymoon phase represents the absolute zenith of my time with a new device. ...

BlackBerry Priv first impression: infatuation

Posted on November 10, 2015November 10, 2015 by Michael Fisher

As I write this, I have known the BlackBerry Priv for three hours. It’s sitting beside me, plugged into the wall, only about halfway through downloading the mess of apps I asked it to sync when I typed in my Google account info. My hands-on time with the phone amounts to a total of perhaps four minutes, one of which was spent positioning the phone for a mildly amusing tweet that more people than usual seemed to like.All this is to say: this is not a BlackBerry Priv review. This ...
