    If you are in the market for one

    yeah, but what are the odds that those 5 people also visit ozbargain ;)

    • melbstheburn on 03/05/2016 - 10:38

      I am one of those 5 :) Been waiting for a price drop so I could upgrade from my Blackberry Classic

      • illumination on 03/05/2016 - 17:16

        Genuine question - why do you still use Blackberry? Just love the phones too much? I've never used it so I'm not knocking it.

        • melbstheburn on 04/05/2016 - 10:57
          +1

          I still use Blackberry because I like having a keyboard on my phone it is pretty much the only brand that still makes them. The fact that it is the most secure phone is a bonus too :)

    • scotty on 03/05/2016 - 10:46

      According to our stats, there are around 130-180 daily sessions of BlackBerry users. Not much, but they are indeed there :)

      • Cynicaloflife on 07/05/2016 - 00:31

        I am one of them. Visit ozbargain on my Z10. Excellent phone and the BB10 OS is top notch :)

  • seijai on 03/05/2016 - 08:14

    I own one. Good fone. Keyboard a tad small but otherwise good. Camera takes great shots

    • CVonC on 03/05/2016 - 08:29

      Actually looks like a pretty decent phone tbh

  • illumination on 03/05/2016 - 09:36

    Definitely a deal.
    Been looking at this and the passport recently.
    Look at staticICE for an example of common pricing.

    Also, any cashback sites/Qantas Mall/Velocity mall with this?

    Now if only a deal for the passport could be found!

  • Mostly Melbourne on 03/05/2016 - 09:41

    I'm a priv user myself, recently upgraded from BB passport. App wise, it's definitely a lot better with native Android OS and Google services support.
    Hardware wise, built quality not as great as Passport, keyboard a bit soft, back cover looks like carbonfibre but in fact feels like cheap rubber.
    Edged gorilla screen is pretty good, poor battery though

    • hamza23 on 03/05/2016 - 10:10

      Wait until the Marshmallow upgrade which is being rolled out now, it improved the battery life dramatically on mine (running the beta).

  • MID on 03/05/2016 - 09:42

    SO no issues with the Band etc? Since it's an unlocked phone by AT&T

    will this get further price cuts moving forward? really want to try this as i never used black berry before.

    • hamza23 on 03/05/2016 - 10:27

      The cheapest price I've seen prior to today for the STV100-3 model is low $800s from AU/HK stores so this is a pretty big drop from the normal price, it's still US $649 (About US $855) on Shop Blackberry. I think this is a once off drop to move stock rather than a new price so I wouldn't bank on anything close to it anytime soon.

      • hopper on 03/05/2016 - 10:35

        thanks @hamza23 two things stopping me now
        1) AT&t bloatware on the phone ( i can remove if i root this)
        2) In the description it says warranty uncertain ( Paypal might help if something goes wrong i guess

    • GordonR on 03/05/2016 - 13:32

      Well don't get this phone if you want to "use Blackberry" because its an Android phone with a couple of BlackBerry apps for security.

      You can still buy new phones running BB OS10 but the future of this OS is very uncertain (well, it's almost certainly finished after a few security/maintenance revisions) .

      • hopper on 03/05/2016 - 18:16

        Thanks, i actually meant hardware

    • Magpye on 03/05/2016 - 17:43

      If you're not already a BlackBerry faithful, I'you might want to consider holding off.
      The Priv, whilst a good phone, was released at a high price point, which hurt uptake, and is taking its time to fall in price.
      John Chen has alluded to releasing a cheaper model handset in their next release, though when that is, is still open to conjecture.

      Personally, I love my Z10, which is by far the most seriously business orientated phone I've ever used, that includes iphones (lol) and the Nexus 5.
      If you're wanting a phone for apps to instagram, pininterest and a variety of other frippery, stick with the mainstream.
      If you're wanting something that gives you extra business productivity, look at getting a BlackBerry

      • hopper on 03/05/2016 - 18:17

        Thx for the tip :)

      • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2016 - 18:33

        Well this is full android with extra security of blackberry plus a good track record f0r security updates which is rare in android space

        • CVonC on 03/05/2016 - 20:49

          What's the extra security of blackberry when it's just running Android? (Genuine question)

        • [Deactivated] on 04/05/2016 - 06:48

          @CVonC: not a techie but I know that blackberry has couple of apps for security and some system level integration. Plus so far with this phone they are nearly up to date with nexus in terms of security fixes and pathces.

      Camera is a disappointing. Might as well get a G4.

      • illumination on 03/05/2016 - 17:15

        Seems to contradict seijai though. Subjective I guess.

        • seijai on 03/05/2016 - 20:51

          The camera app has been updated a few times since i bought the phone, the last being last week when phone updated to marshmellow

          The camera is a little slow but quality wise i would say on par with my samsung s6

      USA government is endlessly loaning them money and writing off bad debt, they are the mining industry of the phone world.

      • hamza23 on 03/05/2016 - 12:48
        +6

        USA government

        Blackberry is a Canadian company. If you are going to make up a story then you should probably say the Canadian government.

        loaning them money

        The US government isn't loaning them money. I'm not an accountant, however Blackberry had something like 3 billion dollars in cash on hand last I read.

        Blackberry isn't just a phone company, the majority of their revenue comes from software, services & access fees (not hardware/phones). Hardware division is still struggling, but even still they have posted profitable quarters recently - they aren't going anywhere.

  • lasertip on 03/05/2016 - 14:27

    I was shocked to see a client pull out one of these the other day, presuming that Blackberry was dead.

    Obviously not! I used to have a Blackberry Bold. It was a good, solid phone with excellent build quality that was very good at what it did- communicate.

    Eventually, I caved when I felt left out by the Apple and Android appstores. Might consider a Blackberry again in the not-to-distant future!

    • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2016 - 15:44

      Just to be clear this is a pure android phone made by blackberry

      • lasertip on 03/05/2016 - 22:31

        Which is why I might consider a Blackberry in the future- it's no longer restricted to the tiny Blackberry App Store.

        As long as they have comparable build quality to that of my old BB Bold!

  • rodericb on 03/05/2016 - 14:50

    Saw on Reddit that the phones may actually be secondhand and at&t branded phones have to be on at&t network to receive updates!

    • hamza23 on 03/05/2016 - 14:59

      Yeah seems a bit risky re the updates and everything else, especially with marshmallow rolling out - calling it unlocked seems misleading. I'd pay a couple hundred more and get a STV100-3 model from HK that gets updates immediately and has some warranty and all the Aus bands - but then it wouldn't be a bargain :)

      • rodericb on 03/05/2016 - 15:39

        True. Tis a bit heartbreaking as I would like a Priv but they are so expensive.

      • KBZ on 03/05/2016 - 16:18

        Which BB are you on now Hamza?

        • hamza23 on 03/05/2016 - 16:23

          This phone, Blackberry Priv. Got it late last year from T-Dimension eBay during the 15% off CELEBRATE2015 deal. It's going well, marshmallow update was very good for it also.

    After having been predicted for some time, the death of the BlackBerry 10 has now arrived.

    The company has announced it will no longer make phones featuring its own operating system.

    Instead it will now concentrate on establishing itself as a major Android device manufacturer, with an eye on business rather than consumer handsets.

      Never in the actual anouncement (such journalism Dailymail) that they say anything about BB10. So let's just jump the gun yet.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/05/2016 - 09:14

    I probably should have done more research before going ahead.. Seems we wont be able to upgrade to Android 6.0 without an active AT&T sim..

    :(

    Other then that big negative I am looking forward to it..

    Just read Qualitycellz dropped the price to US $331.13 shipped, currently showing as 641 sold in 24 hours already.

    Hopefully someone posts that up as a deal, was wondering how those who purchased it from this deal went updating it to marshmallow due to it being an AT&T model?

    • tif1607 on 22/06/2016 - 15:17

      would want to know if AT&T can update as well, although autoloader seems to be working for update outside of the network…..

  • hamza23 on 18/10/2016 - 14:15

    For those who purchased this AT&T Priv, some good news if you weren't able to update it: If you purchased an unlocked AT&T Priv your updates will now come directly from BlackBerry
