Overall I give this phone a four out of five. Im probably not the best judge however due to the fact I'm coming from a three year old device in the Samsung Galaxy relay 4g. After having said that though, battery life is great. I can get through a full day without charging. And that's moderate to heavy use with GPS. Virtual keyboard is awesome. I miss swpe but don't want to switch and lose predictive text functionality with hw keyboard. The hw keyboard is pretty small. I knew this going in but was still she'll shocked about it at first. I'm slowly getting used to it though. I like the scrolling functionality but the fact it doesn't work on every app and not in the same way is a deterrent. The buttons have a decent feel but I guess if they couldn't be any bigger I would of liked a spacing around them. But overall not horrible. I haven't used the camera much, but from what I've seen its lightyears ahead of what I'm used to. Even the crappie 2mp front facing camera is an upgrade from the relays 1.5(I think)mp. Anyhow, the priv seem like a pretty good next gen phone. I do agree that the price is way too high, however, especially without marshmallow.

5/5 … as a former Nexus 5 user, I wasn't aware how I missed an AMOLED screen and MicroSD support until I got the PRIV. The physical keyboard was the main reason (was curious, and I never had the G1), but the rest of the package is better than I hoped for. The OS is mostly stock with

useful

additions by BlackBerry. The January security update came a day before Google even announced it here. (And BBRY promised to keep delivering updates ASAP.) It's just the perfect device for me. The only thing I was missing in the beginning was wireless charging (I got the European model) … but I bought 2 original desktop stands (for the price of 1 noname wireless one!) and now this isn't a problem anymore. I'm looking forward to more awesome devices from BlackBerry running Android already…

Absolutely a joy to own! It has everything I ever wanted in a smartphone and feels amazing to type on a hardware keyboard again!
[BlackBerry Priv] gonka95:
I just got this phone yesterday and was disappointed at first. I guess using a Passport and Note 4 I was expecting more. However, I am enjoying this phone now! I do find the form factor to be great for my hands, which are small, because it is lightweight but sturdy. App download and install is a bit slow but I only got the update one day ago so maybe once it settles it'll get better. I really wish it had the Hub with swipe right and peek by swiping up slightly. That's all I have for now!
[BlackBerry Priv] :
I love this phone.... My previous phone (Xperia Z) started failing so I searched all around my city until I was informed a local T-Mobile store had 1 in stock. I rushed to get it and I have to say it is epically legendary. I do however wish we could root it because I could use some of those extra features.
[BlackBerry Priv] rpadula:
not having root it's a no no for me, and no Roms also...

but if bb keep the device updated, i'm sort of interested now...

i'm dying to own a hardware keyboard again, was so stupid to sell my D4.

+Keyboard

+More Apps than my beloved Q5 and Passport.

+Secure

-Tends to fall from my hands to the desk in a hurry if not carefull due to size and weight when handling fast onehanded.

-Sometimes lag* without multitasking on latest MM Update (example: downloading Spotify on Wifi with 16mbps)

*=yes i used Android before... since 1.x on the first galaxy from samsung in 2009 so i guess i know how to manage apps and what to not install ;) and i'm a *NIX system architect at work - but this phone is sometimes lagging without the cooling-down notification, without cpu's above 75%, on highest cpufreq, with and w/o AC, with and w/o sdcard and a lot of free RAM, and even after fastboot'ing and fullwipe before setting up most stuff, so i guess it could be the throughput of the internal flash or some missing optimizations...
[BlackBerry Priv] harishah47:
Yes, it does hang/lag. It heats up when we try to multitask. Else The phone is good. One more thing that is not upto mark> is the front camera.

New to the forums, so hi all!

Just wondering if anyone knows the best way to get a tytn 2 in australia? has anyone ordered? if so where is the best place to order online?

Thanks,

Shane

anyone know if/when it will be released on 3?

I spoke with HTC Australia yesterday and they confirmed its due to be released this month.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Johnno:
Compatability with Next G

It will be good to get some feedback on the suitability of the TyTN 2 on Telstra's Next G network.

As I understand it, the TyTN 2 are not a compatable or supported handset on Next G.-according to Telstra.

But give them time and they may come around.

I am especially looking forward to the posts on this one.

Is it true that the Communications Minister (-Senator Coonan ) wants to extend the CDMA deadline past February? And Telstra is hopping mad about that and wants to sue?

If it is, the only problem is: she makes the laws for her Dept.

We live in funny times.

ABSOLUTELY awesome! Antutu's get consistent 60,000 to 67,000 (after disabling the pesky T-Mobile MyAccount app) and I've noticed NO issues whatsoever with speed.
[BlackBerry Priv] elpindian:
Haven't noticed an issue at all with speed, whether it be opening a new app or switching to one I've had open in the background for a while. I'd say it's on par with my old galaxy s5, but definitely not as snappy as my s6.
[BlackBerry Priv] Cryptongolem:
I was underwhelmed at the speed at first, was no faster than my Moto X 2013, but when i turned off animations i noticed how truly quick this phone is, loads everything speedy, when i play games with my friends, im always the first to load.
[BlackBerry Priv] calistoz:
how did you turn off the animations? also, there are ways to lower the screen resolution to 1080p, have you tried that?
[BlackBerry Priv] nascar48:
I thought it was OK for a while. Held up pretty good against an lg g5 and a nexus 6 I had. Then I got a Verizon galaxy nexus (a dual core, 1gb ram phone from 2011) and was shocked. Now, of course the galaxy nexus was on android 4.2.2.... But it loaded everything faster and could even have more tabs open in a browser before getting laggy. I always thought 4.4 and 5.0 brought a huge speed slowdown to android, but had no proof until now.
[BlackBerry Priv] stadros83:
Mine is not smooth.

For example it took more time to install an app from Google Play than my old Nexus 5.

I'm really not a fan of this phone (I only bought it for the physical keyboard).

This is an interesting one. Most of the time apps launch as expected, but sometimes it doesn't respond. The weird part is that the lollipop finger press animation is always there. I get the impression there's probably some more bugs in the os that have yet to be ironed out.

Only bit of jitteryness I've come across is when closing a single app in the recent apps tab. It will stutter ever so slightly as the app closes, nothing too serious but just something that I've noticed. Other than that I haven't had any issues with lag or speed when switching between 5-6 apps.

Pictures don't do the phone justice. It looks beautiful in person. The keyboard seems small at first, but you get used to it after a few days of typing and can't go back. The curved screen is not curved enough to detract from the screen quality but keeps the phone sleek and very thin.
[BlackBerry Priv] elpindian:
This phone is every bit as sexy as the Bold was when that first came out. I remember holding that device and just knowing I was going to love it ... I definitely had that same feeling when I first held the Priv.
[BlackBerry Priv] chibixzero:
I had the T-Mobile version and on the bottom there was a small lip to where you can pull the screen up for keyboard and close it with your thumb. Now I have the att unlocked version and that lip is gone. Also I notice the the screen doesn't bend with the curved. Looks like I'm seeing a regular none curve screen with a curved glass protector, idk if that makes sense. Can anyone verify this if they have the T-Mobile version

Evening all I am after a little help please I am new to this phone after having Samsung's for a long time and one thing that is bugging me is that apps that are real time e.g. whatsapp and anything with messaging are not getting the messages until I open the app and I am then flooded with messages? I have seen the options in the power menu for background apps but regardless of how I select the apps either on or off I still don't get the messages till I open the app?

Anyone else had this issue and know lof a work around?
