Welcome to the BlackBerry Priv, BlackBerry’s first android phone costing around £579 sim free when it becomes available to buy next month.
This really looks like a gorgeous piece of hardware. Have a look at the hands on video and then leave a comments as to whether this is the ultimate android smartphone.

Very tempted. I like the form factor.

This looks interesting. I’d given up on ever getting a decent Android phone with a proper keyboard. An S6 is in a van winging its way to me right now. Maybe I should have waited until next month?

The S6 is a nice phone, but there are 2 phones next week the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P and the new Lumia’s that are worth waiting for. But then there is always another new phone 😉

I don’t like either of the new Nexuses. The 5 only has 32gb of memory and no SD card. The 6 is too big for me. I looked at the Xperia Z5 but it got really hot in a very short time: the curse of the Snapdragon 810! S6 is the perfect size for me.

The Z5 is fine with the 810. Its got huge cooling pipes 🙂
Also, I have used it. The heat is normal, in fact I did 9 mins 4K video and it still didnt overheat. All phones can get hot nowadays especially the setting up a new phone or updating the firmware generally will make it hotter than normal.

I may be a bit paranoid after all the problems with the Z3+ which Sony failed to acknowledge. Also they have a very hit and miss reputation with Android updates

Z3+ was a phone that never should have been sold. Z5 is very good actually. But there are plenty other very good phones too. Updates could be an issue if Sony sells smartphone division

I was tempted by the Z5 but now waiting for this new Blackberry. I use a passport as well and like the capacitative keyboard for scrolling. I also like the message hub.
