Do not shun this because its "blackberry" - the Priv is a great android phone that also offers some beefed up security for the android OS - but mostly people are going to either WANT or NOT want a keyboard... if you glued the keyboard shut this would work just like every other silly slab android phone. The screen is nice and big - slightly curved edges - although not as much as the galaxy edge variants. The keyboard is really the great thing about this phone - a real keyboard is ALWAYS better than virtual - and this does MORE than just type, it is a giant trackpad so you can scroll, flick and do text selection better, faster and easier then poking and prodding your screen. The battery gets better every update, I can make it through a work day- with this phone as my primary driver and still return home with enough battery to watch vids, facebook and play Mario run and it not die by bed time.Read full review

Love BB but have been really disappointed with this Priv. Battery is terrible, takes forever to charge with OEM charging cable, then discharges rapidly even when not in use. Heats up uncomfortably when charging and in use. Had huge issues when traveled back east and the phone would not update nor would it send text messages or recieve texts in a timely fashion. Added to the fact I kept getting deleted text messages sent back to me as new messages. Verizon said there were no network problems and that it was attributable to the phone. Lastly, when powering it up after leaving the plane I received a piercingly high tone evey time I tried to call out. Restarting and shutting down did nothing to fix this for 3 days.

I like this phone. It has the size of the other smart phones, is thin as paper. It also has blackberry software, as well as android. And it has a physical keyboard. It really has everything that I need, and it works fine, and the battery life is okay, but they're all the same when all is said and done.

I should have examined the keyboard more closely. My last phone with a physical keyboard had directional keys that allowed backspacing without deleting. A physical keyboard with this feature was a major reason for my getting one. No one to blame but myself, I suppose. Otherwise it's a fine phone with a great screen.

Looks and Works like brand new,. I had bought a new one of these from Verizon, without the replacement option, with a contract. Then dropped it in water while shaving. I was using an old flip phone for almost three months. This phone arrived today so I charged it up and took it in to the Verizon store where they activated it. So far, everything works. And there are no nicks or scratches.
