My main disappointment with the Priv is its performance. It's just too patchy for a truly great on-screen experience
With noticeable lag in the system and within the camera app
It doesn't happen all the time

Despite my moans over the unnecessarily messy software and the weight and sheer bulk of the thing, there's something about the Priv that I find appealing. Perhaps it's seeing BlackBerry (at last) getting itself on the right track with its hardware and sof...
The BlackBerry Priv is a well-made Android phone with a unique feature set. We commend BlackBerry for turning its hand to being an Android OEM, and the result is a fast smartphone with a great display, hardware keyboard and solid build and design. Battery...
