phone is gonna be 600+ but im willing to pay for it haha, this is one for the books, cant fuckin wait anymore, been checkin on this thread waitin on knight604 to give us the release date

You'll know when i know. :)

lol that review ticked me off..... anyway I'm still pretty excited and 3 weeks to go

Decided to hit up Telus live chat and asked about the ETA on the Venice/Priv.

I really do hope they launch October end.

Don't know how reliable this is, but it's one of the first things i've seen regarding price. BlackBerry Priv rumored to carry a $630 price tag - GSMArena.com news

They took the RMB currency and converted to USD , that's not how things work.

I'm guessing like the Passport it'll be $699 CAD.

Pre-register for updates on the Priv here. BlackBerry Android Phone - PRIV - Get Updates - Canada

Cough cough Telus gets demos from Blackberry reps on Monday October 19th , cough cough.

^ does that mean anyone can walk into a telus that day and "try out" the device?

Nope strictly for employees

The rumour date for release is nov 4th from carphone warehouse

I find that with anything tactile that blackberry makes, over time the buttons start failing or the feed back gets mushy especially on the commonly used vowel keys. I like the idea of the physical keyboard but I hate mushy feeling keys after a while.

Never had that problem, but thats probably because I switch my BlackBerry every 2 years. Im hoping to keep this for longer

awesome! the hub looks the same! long press on the home key and then pressing the icon to get there isn't great but shouldnt be too bad and may change in the future. there looks like there might be some gesture stuff cooked in already, which may grow with updates. overall, im optimistic! especially considering how much bb10 grew from 10.0.0 to 10.2.1 and pretty quickly too.

why can't this come out sooner...I need a new phone...

give or take 3 weeks, Pre orders in the UK ships out on Nov 6th.

MSRP for this phone might be 950.

Fuck - 950 is much higher than the numbers being thrown around...my boner died a little :(

I hope i am wrong but i check other devices on that website and it does align with shopblackberry's msrp for every other device that they selling.....

70% confirmed its 950...

Ouch. Please let it be $750
Just the idea of spending 1g on the priv then a white version comes out haha

ouch! $950 might be a bit too much
