Just played with the dummy model of the Priv at Bell and was super surprised to see that it is only slightly bigger in every dimension than the Nexus 5x in real life. Keyboard buttons were larger than I had thought. Nice smooth matte like finish on the back and feels super solid although I have to play with a working unit to make my final judgement. I'd post pics but tapatalk won't let me upload pics for some reason.
For what its worth, every carrier in Canada will be selling STV100-3 meaning it will NOT have wireless charging if anyone cares, this is confirmed 100%
STV100-1 sold via Shopblackberry will have wireless charging
Some of the reviews are pissing me off. So many haters, because it doesnt have usb c, wireless charging, no honeycomb, fingerprint scanner, etc makes it a bad phone. Which they think out weights the facts it has the same processor as the LG G4, expandable to 2TB, 3 gb ram, 3400 battery, and no BS Apps........

The trouble is that reviews are inherently subjective, and therefore will vary.
However, considering this is a "hail-mary" from BB, it really can't afford any bad press...the gizmodo one was the worst one I've read so far.
I've only been focusing on the keyboard part of the reviews, as that's the only thing that really differentiates this, and it seems it's not as comfortable as I'd hoped. I also don't know how it'll interact with other languages.
For example, on swiftkey or samsung keyboards, you can swipe on spacebar to change keyboard language. How would I do this on the priv?
...and that price...
just take the reviews with a grain of salt. if the device piques your interest enough, just take it for a test drive. There's a 30-day return policy anyway
Went to Telus today, and they had a demo unit - it looks and feels pretty damn good. It's $890 outright from them, so doesn't make any sense not to order from BB directly, to get the wireless charging, etc.
One question for anyone who has one, how is typing a different language working? How do you switch languages in PKB? On my OPO with swiftkey, I can swipe left/right to change keyboard language (VKB of course). How would this work on the priv?
Played with the priv at the telus store and it exceeded my expectations. Such a beautiful device. Perfectly balance when slide or un slide. The os is clean and easy to navigate through. I can tell BlackBerry put a lot of work into this device. Im sold on this device, there was also a line up for the demo lol

I think you should consider the 6p as well.
Also if anyone is deciding between the flip case or hardshell, you should check out this video i uploaded from blackberry.
