    AnonD-474982, 11 Dec 2015Benchmarks are not useful. benchmarks are never useful, but it lags significally i trust bb's security and i trust they will fix the issues that are present in a few months and that is why i bought this im a power user and a huge keyboard lover so this was my only choice for christmas so i decided to get it i hope. people play with it and root/unlock the bootloader

        Does not ship to DPO/FPO. Cannot try it out and therefore will not be considering it for our next upgrade.

            They have done tremendous job this time but price is much high, should launch it's phone with attractive price and try to form new fans from android users instead of relying on old customers to buy it

                  It works by using inductive charging technology to allow your PRIV to charge without connecting a charger. No longer will you have to search for your charger and orient it the correct way just to plug in your phone

                  I seek PRIV Qi wireless charging case and transmitter on amazon, wireless efficiency whole kit maybe workable or you can consult your carrier before purchasing, hope it helpful.

                      Nope... see I'm not interested to pay a premium for a redundant form factor. A fairly well made slider QWERTY sure but on an OS already tightly done w/ a virtual keyboard? That much for 2 keyboards? C'mon....

                      Priv 2. Note killer. Yes w/ a stylus. And bigger batt. Get to work Bb.

                                        I'm quote hopeful of BB android, but evidently they still need some work. There's a chance they'll leave the smartphone market but I don't think they will.
