BlackBerry Priv Review 

I have a Priv and it's phenomenal. Thanks for the review. I think they are going to sell quite a few of these.

Still using my BB Priv and it's been almost three years. Great review by Lisa!

I've been waiting for this review from you Lisa. You're the only reviewer I trust.

It's not IPS, it's AMOLED !!!

Fair and detailed, as I've come to expect. Well done!

I had been waiting for this review by Lisa and I'm happy with what she had to say! I'm sorry touchscreen smartphones , but touchscreens keyboards are not for me. I've been missing my physical keyboard ever since I had to switch phone companies and say goodbye to my Blackberry curve in 2012. I'm hoping Blackberry will make more Android phones in the coming year.

I wish Lisa would do more demoing like she used to in the past. I would love to see how games and apps work on this device. It would also be nice to see some of the BlackBerry only stuff such as the BlackBerry hub.

I'm actually faster with the physical keyboard now because I make mistakes less often. Also, once you get used to the keyboard, you'll be glad it's there because it's actually very useful.

I used to own a BB. It took a few days to get used to the keyboard but once you do, typing is so easy and fun. I'm glad BB made this phone.

Hi Lisa, love your videos and your honest opinions. Thanks for another great one! As a new user to Android (coming from iOS), do you think this would be a good bet? I do miss my physical keyboards!

hi Lisa I had my blackberry priv. for two weeks now and I discovered you can change the hub short cut to any app. I use my hub short cut for RU-vid and Netflix.thanks for a great review.

I have been using it since a week now, and I'm in love with it. keyboard has worked nice with my fat fingers ... everything else has great hw or sw. Camera is not all rounder but worked many times better than iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6. I have never experienced it being uncomfortably warm.

hey lisa do you think the priv is a good phone im having a hard time choosing between a lg g flex 2 or a priv and im getting them in 2017 cuz it going to be my graduation to college do you thinks these phones will be cheaper in 2017?

You're the first reviewer I've seen who said it feels well made.

I was waiting for your review. Its very honest. The physical keyboard I believe you need to develop muscle memory for and takes a little longer to do so. My biggest worry is the battery life, other than that, I am really sold on this device. The Blackberry Hub is what you have to tweak and learn a little. If its anything close to what Blackberry 10 offers, then Hub is one of the most useful feature of this device. In the end, there aren't many things Android or iOS excites us that much. I think having Blackberry in that space is really good and offers more to the table. ps: The display is AMOLED I believe ;)

I've been really pondering what phone I want to move to after my Note 4 and I've got to say that the Priv is so so so cool and enticing, at least to me, and I really want one!

the phone design looks so premium!!!

Speaking to the question of "will people use the hardware keyboard?" I've had my Priv since launch day in Canada and I've only used the touch keyboard about a dozen times. Once you get used to the physical keyboard again it's brilliant.

Great review

my friend purchased this phone. It screams quality. Way better than any other android phone I've used. I'm glad they didn't rush to release this phone.

Lisa i need your take on the V10! Will you be reviewing it?

Will you be doing a review of the Nexus 6P, Lisa?

Or can you do a smack down between the xps 13 or 15 and the inspiron 13 or 15? The new skylake seems to have better specs so I want to know if the differance in price is worth it in the top offerings for both

You have the best reviews.. Never miss one. The keyboard looks nice but I think it is out of date at this point. BlackBerry waited to long thinking Their market share would be loyal and found out the hard way even the most loyal customer will leave if you can't keep up.. It is a nice phone but will it save them? hmmmm.....

Nice Video, THANKS so much

Lisa lol ... @23-24 seconds ... that pause lol ... I live! That was exactly what I thought .. "Interesting ... so BlackBerry is giving up" .... Love ur reviews

This looks great. Definitely picking it up when it comes to verizon

the big feature of the keyboard is the long press and short press shortcuts with mouse control was really mentioned.

What is the mic your using hanging off your shirt?

Does blackberry have edge screens?!?

what size sim card does the priv take?

that screen looks nice

Still no review on the 6p?? :( I've had to use other review channels... I find myself coming back to your channel each day hoping that you'd upload the review.

Will you ever do a Nexus 6p review, Lisa?

No Nexus 6P yet? Hope you get to it, amazing phone so far.

Are you going to review the Nexus 6P?

Will you be reviewing the Nexus 6p?

Great review! I like the physical keyboard- you can see the whole screen when editing with it: more screen space than my nexus 6 when a third of the screen is taken up by the onscreen keyboard. And the keyboard is very handy for scrolling up and down web pages for example. And you can programme the physical keys to control what happens if you do a long press. (eg longpress T to create a task, longpress E to add an event, F to send a message to someone specific...). The keyboard is also handy for moving the cursor around the screen. It's also handy for typing. I've got large fingers but found it very good for typing on. I loved the oval shaped curve of the edges- more comfortable than the D shaped edge of the s6 Edge+. But I found audio on earphones a bit too sharp, and worse (for me) the earphone socket is on the far right on the bottom. I found it hard to type while I had a wired headset attached. (The button in the middle of the volume keys was handy for pausing and playing audio).

They should make more color option like grey, white, gold etc they need to catch non- business markets with their android phones

Are you gonna do a review on the Lumia 950?

I know this is a bit late but could you do a review of the new acer aspire r13? thank you and I love your reviews

I've always loved blackberry and now that they have Android I think I'm gonna give it a try

Can you review the Sharp Aquos Crystal? I'd love to hear your opinion on it! :)

The silence button only silences the phone when audio is active, like a phone call or a video. When no audio is playing it won't silence it

how is blackberry still pumping out phones?

the keyboard feature only takes you less than a week to get use to. So its not a deal breaker and its a very good option for people who are fustrated of typo when using the screen.

I'm really considering Priv but Im very particular with my phone's camera. The specs of Priv + the camera of G4. That'll be great!

hey Lisa pls review the two brand new lumias, the 950 and the 950xl

Mute button only functions as a mute button during calls or videos or other audio presentation.

good review

this is a phone that will go from good to excellent with future updates. its blackberrys first shot at android and it'll only get better from here. if anyone has ever used bb10 from the beginning to what it is now knows full well just how much the OS has truly improved and i expect the exact same with coming software updates. Thus far, everyone that I've talked to who owns this phone have done nothing but praise it.

For the camera samples, you should edit them into the video full screen. Showing them on the phone screen gives very little insight into how they actually turn out. Other than that, great review. Well, except for the misinformation regarding the screen, which is AMOLED, not IPS.

can you please do a review on the new lenovo thinkpad yoga 260?

Sounds to me Lisa you did not care for BBY before you reviewed it. You say its a Mish Mash yet that is what Android is as a generic 'free' OS. Sadly all Droids no matter how much power you give them are not smooth and blotchy because of the nature of the OS, if this was the BBY 10 OS and more people would see if they used it how much more slick and ultra smooth it is, definitely on par with an Apple. Regarding battery life, the flagships Samsungs are all rubbish on battery life so this is fine. The keyboard option is exactly that its an option you can use it or decide not to. It also is a track pad which is ideal for editing etc and browsing. You thought the Passport was an awkward size and now you wished it had the Passport keyboard, I cannot help but see that you are not a fan - fair enough but clever use of subtle negatives is not so clever! Maybe you are trying to bash out to many quick reviews these days as the quality of your reviews seems to have dipped considerably. I am sure my comments will upset some but that is my opinion.

Would I be able to install and use a different launcher like nova launcher on the CDMA Verizon version?

It's weird that you didn't say almost anything about one of the most important feature for BB users - the HUB. It's one of the selling point of this device... :(

Blackberry has designed some really nice hardware over the years. Imagine how successful they would have been if they had sucked it up and produced a really high quality Android phone around the time they launched the Storm. The field is really crowded now and it will be tough to come from behind.

Please do an indepth review of the new Lumia 950 XL

Ativ book 9 spin review?

Could you do a Lumia 950 and 950 xl review?

The virtual keyboard is the best on the market imo...but I still prefer the physical keyboard by far. I also find the track pad very useful...it's one of my favourite features.

I went to settings and hit that hub icon with the three circles and hold down on the short cut to change it. that it. love my blackberry priv.

Lisa: My phone has been getting all day battery life with heavy usage. I'm with Wind mobile in Canada. Maybe AT&T is running some heavy services in the background?

awsome channel

very good black berry

Display is amoled not ips

Hp spectre vs ativ book 9 spin?

Can you review the new skylake dell inspiron 15 or 13 7000 series

So well said Lisa, I fear this may be too late. But two years ago, I would have killed a man with my bare hands for one of these. Now....not sure.

hot one!!

Yeah..all things said hear is very true, the problem is with AT&T, the unlocked version is waay better in software stability

The panel is actually AMOLED... That's what allows the curved edges. *oops* Looks like you mentionned it in the description.

they should make a blackberry bold with android. I'll be down for one of those. They need to shoot for the market that Sony Xperia is doing with the 4 to 4.6 screen size phone.

IPS display? I thought it was OLED?

Lisa please do HP Spector X2 m7 vs surface pro 4 i5

It would have made much more sense to have the keyboard made for landscape use so it could be much larger.

just FYI you call it an ips display at around 4.45 but it's an oled

its a pretty good phone... but came late unfortunately. a little earlier.. and things would had been different as you said ma'am .. not a fan of physical keyboard ⌨ though.. I would had loved it in a landscape mode!!😅 they should come with a better phone in 2016 for sure!!👌

The phone only gets warm during the initial setup. The battery life is excellent once all the updates are completed. BATTERY LIFE 22.5 hours of mixed use. I easily get 24 hours with mixed use.

I'm surprised blackberry is still in business!

I agree, it almost definitely doesn't seem like something that's going to make Blackberry a huge name again... its only hugely unique feature is the keyboard, which at this point probably isn't a terribly compelling feature to the vast majority of folks, and while a few people are probably happy to have the Blackberry security features and apps, that again is probably not a significant amount of people. That said, I think it may "save" Blackberry as far as keeping them afloat for the time being, so that perhaps they'll be able to develop something that WILL compel a larger group of customers away from the major brands in the future. I say that because while it doesn't offer much that's super compelling, it IS a nice looking phone, with a pretty nice build and the current standard high-end specs... it doesn't really leave anything out that would make it a bad purchase. Because of that, I think enough people might be intrigued enough - be it by simply the build, by the keyboard, etc. - to give it a shot to where it will sell well enough to let RIM develop a successor.

wearing an Apple watch? So do you prefer Android or Iphone?

I thought the display was actually an AMOLED panel.

Would've been perfect under BB OS 10.3, they should provide this option.

this carbon fiber back feels DELICIOUS

one plus x review ?

How many iPhone users out here will switch to this blackberry? How about other android users think that this is a better device than the one you currently have?

Still watin on that 6p review ),:

I'll wait for the Priv 2. Assuming BlackBerry fixes the price and makes improvements.

Blackberry bold 9900 has the best keyboard ever made in a blackberry device...and maybe the passport silver edition

Lisa Lisa...where oh where is the Nexus 6P review?????

priv is a great phone. the keyboard takes a while to get used to but before you know it you're flying. don't ever compare this phone to the Dell phone again.. thanks. the keyboard size is great, I am a huge guy with big hands. phone camera is great.. six months ago it would have been the best phone on market, and people were Gaga over those phones. expandable storage=awesome phone quality hardware great. it runs android very well price is worth it.. can't buy a physical keyboard attachment some other brands offer for the price.

I think the problem is the price, with the flaws it has, people are better off investing in other model of phones, which at that time there are cheaper and better options.

The HUB can be triage and is very productive ,.....actually very productive...

Blackberry go away!!!!!

Lumia 950 review please!!

Ohhh I like! Too bad it's not carried with MetroPCS.

you're really avoiding that nexus 6P review hahaha

BB should make a 2 in 1 phone. Have pure BB 10 for work (need pure Hub and swipe functions) and Android for afterwork 100% app compatibility. Android interface still looks clunky and not as cohesive as IOS or BB10.

she clearly loves the phone but tries hard to find ways to hate it.
