Update: The BlackBerry Priv is now available at T-Mobile.
Next Tuesday, T-Mobile will start selling the BlackBerry Priv online and in stores. The company’s first Android device is a make or break device that will determine whether they will keep making hardware in the future. Fortunately, the device has received positive reviews and all four major US carriers will be selling it in 2016.
The Priv has a 5.4-inch 2560 x 1440 display and runs on a Snapdragon 808 with 3GB of RAM. It has a large 3410 mAh battery, microSD card expansion, and an 18MP rear camera. The device has a slide-out portrait form factor that features BlackBerry’s iconic keyboard. It still runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with an update to Marshmallow scheduled for later this year.
The device will be available through T-Mobile’s upgrade pricing with an unlocked cost of $719.
