Black. Berry Support Community Forums - United States. The Black. Berry Device Support Community Forums have closed as of April 1, 2. A decade later, the Crack. Berry community is as active and passionate as ever and I know our knowledgeable members and volunteers will be excited to welcome and assist more Black. Berry owners with their questions. Kevin Michaluk, Founder, Crack. Black. Berry Priv Review . For me, it has always been a tool to get things done and while there are many people out there who enjoy that experience alone, there's a growing number of folks who expect more from their smartphones. They want productivity, they want security, they want privacy, and they want all the fun stuff as well. Now with Priv, they can have their cake and eat it too, if they wish. The quick take. For it being their first run at building an Android- powered smartphone, Black. Berry has delivered a compelling hardware and software package that caters to both the Android and Black.
BlackBerry brings something fresh and different to the Android world. When I think about BlackBerry, I'm instantly reminded of how productive I am while using their. Berry experience. While it's not going to be a device for everyone, everyone should consider it. The good. Great battery life. Great sounding front facing speaker. Great physical and virtual keyboard.

Speaker grill gathers dust. Headphone jack placed at the bottom. Priv Full Review. Well, here we are. After many months of rumors and speculation, and an arguably somewhat quiet announcement, we have finally reached the point where it's time to take a look at the Priv by Black. Berry. Unlike every Black. Berry smartphone released before it, the Priv strays from the path of using Black. Berry's proprietary OS and instead comes loaded with Android, Lollipop 5. Black. Berry security, privacy and productivity. ![]() Priv stands out in a world of Android slabs, thanks to its fantastic physical keyboard, focus on security and privacy that Black. Berry has long been known for. When the Black. Berry slider, or Venice as it was known early on, was presented briefly during Mobile World Congress 2. Black. Berry community lit up with excitement under the impression it was running Black. Berry 1. 0. The rest of the world, though, looked, laughed a little and moved on. However, when it became known that the Priv would be released running Android, that interest level changed and those who dismissed the device were almost forced to take another look at it. Suddenly the device mattered because not only does it signal a change within Black. Berry and their operations, but the Priv stands out in a world of Android slabs, thanks to its fantastic physical keyboard and the focus on security and privacy that Black. Berry has long been known for. Plus, it brings empowering productivity features such as the Black. Berry Hub, Productivity Edge, Calendar peek, and more. Black. Berry didn't simply slap Android on their hardware and call it a day. No, the move to Android was a calculated one that took a lot of planning and ultimately had to be something special and something with enough differentiation to stand out. Will it pay off for Black. Berry in the long run? That remains to be seen. The potential is now there for Black. Berry to reach a new audience and expand their customer base. Built by Wistron. Priv Hardware. Black. Berry has maintained a pretty consistent design language throughout the years and when it comes to the Priv, even though it's running Android, there's nothing on the design front that would cause it to be mistaken for anything but Black. Berry hardware. Although I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, there's a feeling of familiarity with the Priv, like you've held this device before. For some, that's going to be a comfortable feeling as it helps create confidence in the materials used. Although I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, there's a feeling of familiarity with the Priv. On the backside of the Priv, you get that much- loved glass- weave that hasn't been used since the release of the Black. Berry Z3. 0, and while I would have preferred a back more along the lines of the grippy rubber used on the Black. Berry Passport Silver Edition, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the glass- weave. I do have one complaint about the back of the device though, and that's that there is some give there. You can push in on the glass- weave backing a tiny bit until you hit what is presumably the battery. Putting it to the test and handing the Priv around to friends to check out, no one else noticed it unless I went out of my way to mention it to them and even then, no one cared. I don't think it's something that is problematic, nor cause for any concern, but I would be totally remiss if I didn't mention it and others started noticing it. Also on the back you'll find that 1. MP Schneider- Kreuznach certified camera along with a spot for the dual- LED dual- color flash. While I'll have more to say on the camera later on in the review, what I have to say about the camera now is that it looks pretty good back there. The design of the camera looks sharp and classy and for those of you concerned about the hump and the balance of the Priv on flat surfaces because of it, I have to say it's not bad. I say not bad because I really can't say it's entirely balanced either. If it's sitting on a flat surface and you're tapping on the lower portions of the display, it's going to be fine. If you're doing the same on the upper left or upper right, there's likely to be some wobble happening. Deal breaker? Not at all, especially given most of your interactions are on the lower portion of the device. Just be mindful of it. Up front, there's a 5. AMOLED Gorilla Glass 4 display that is nice and crisp and delivers a pixel density of 5. PPI. Also on the front of the device to the top left is where you will find the proximity and ambient light sensor and to the right of that, the multi- color pulse notification light as well as the front- facing 2. MP camera. In between both is the earpiece speaker that makes use of the Black. Berry Natural Sound system that adapts the sound experience during a call based on how you are holding the Priv. This, combined with three high dynamic range microphones, aims to provide the best voice call quality possible. At the bottom, you'll spot the user- facing speaker grill that has laser- drilled holes to offer great sound output, and they serve the device well. The speaker output is nice and loud, crisp for music and clear for speakerphone calls. The keyboard itself feels as though it's reaching back to the Torch series of devices and giving a wink and a nod in recognition. It's not until you slide the Priv open using its buttery smooth sliding mechanism with just enough clack to know you've opened it, do you see that touch- sensitive physical keyboard that offers a great typing experience, fine cursor control, and excellent text selection. The keyboard itself feels as though it's reaching back to the Torch series of devices and giving a wink and a nod in recognition. It's pretty much the same keyboard found here. The angled and sculpted keys are everything we've come to expect from a Black. Berry keyboard including the backlight that turns itself on as you slide open the device. While it's certainly not as roomy as say the Black. Berry Passport keyboard, there's no mistaking the Priv keyboard for anything but a Black. Berry keyboard and that's just how it should be. Unlike some other Black. Berry smartphones, the Priv switches things up when you get to the top of the device. Normally, that's where the power button and headphone jack would be found on Black. Berry hardware. This time around that's where you will find your nano. SIM slot that for some reason looks like it could fit two SIMs in it, despite the fact there's only room for one, plus it's also where you will find your expandable micro. SD card slot. In both cases, you'll need the SIM tool that's provided in the box to gain access. It's not overly convenient, but it's not overly inconvenient either unless you swap SIMs or SD cards on a regular basis. Keep the provided SIM tool on your key chain, so you always have it when you need it, and you'll be set. On the left- hand side of the Priv is where you will find your power button while on the right- hand side is where you will find your volume up and volume down rockers. As one might expect, between those two you will find your mute button. Basic items but, again, the familiarity of Black. Berry design is highlighted here as the buttons are pretty much the same style as those used across all recent Black. Berry smartphones, and that's fine. As I mentioned earlier, the headphone jack on the Priv has moved from what was seemingly Black. Berry's standard position. On the Priv, the headphone jack is at the bottom of the device, and that is also where you will find the micro. USB charging port. Yes, micro. USB. While I hear some asking right now why Black. Berry didn't go with USB Type- C, and I don't have an answer for that. Personally speaking, I'm OK with the Priv still using micro. USB. It's solid, nice to hold in the hands, and everything about the design seems to have been well thought out. Overall, the Priv has a fantastic feel to it. It's solid, nice to hold in the hands, and everything about the design seems to have been well thought out. In fact, I would say it's one of the more well thought out devices coming from Black. Berry simply because of the fact it's a slider. It being a slider instantly puts the vision of a thick and bulky device into the minds of many, and that's simply not the case here. The design of the Priv helps keep the device thin and lightweight and that's a very good thing. To put it in perspective, the Priv is lighter than any version of the Black. Berry Passport coming in at only 1. Black. Berry Passport Silver Edition, which comes in at 9. Priv only 9. 4mm thick. That's a pretty awesome design feat there when you consider the Priv is packing that full QWERTY physical keyboard and a 3. Ah battery. The design team that worked on the Priv deserve their kudos here. Priv Specs. As I'm sure many of you reading this right now already know, Black. Berry has never really been big on specs in their devices, and it wasn't until the Black. Berry Passport arrived that we could say we had a Black.
