    I love going back and watching these videos because OEMs were in their bag in the mid 2010s and shopping for a phone was actually fun. Now it’s pretty much “do I want one of 3 iPhones or one of 3 Samsung phones”

      I would argue at this point they had all already lost their faces, and were just android clones competing against apple, and maybe samsung at this point.
      I know blackberry had the keyboard but damn was it pointless in comparison to its other specs/features.

    You forgot to mention BlackBerry corporate software, its meant to secure phone message and privacy, the target market was always corporate use, where most BlackBerry costumers rely on.
    This review left me with a bitter taste, a bit dissapointed frankly.

    • @jeziel675
      @jeziel675 Před 8 lety +67

      He messed up the amount of RAM (I'm on mobile so idk if he fixed in annotations) and he didn't even go over one of Blackberry's biggest features: security. The whole reason he waits to do these reviews is because he does a high quality, well-shot, comprehensive review of real world usage of the phone, and he usually does that, but this review left me disappointed.

      @joshualuzuriaga8710 Před 8 lety +11

      +Joshua Luzuriaga Actually, they should be offered on as an alternative model to a phone. Some people do feel like they prefer a physical key board, but the ratio is 5:2. More people prefer to type on a touch screen. Blackberry though, adds keyboards to ALL of their phones, when majority of people don't really need it. Physical "touch sensitive" keyboards will only heighten the price of manufacturing, making the phone even more expensive. Let alone, Blackberry is making the price a bit hefty to recover some past damages in revenues.

    • @janome
      @janome Před 8 lety +2

      +Joshua Luzuriaga lets say 5:2 is the actual demand. ( i would bet its closer to 2:3) the priv is the ONLY current gen phone offering a keyboard. I agree that flagships should have flip out side keyboards like the droid. if samsung and other manufactures do this, i would love to see the sales numbers.

    • @radreviewz9482
      @radreviewz9482 Před 6 lety +1

      So true. Somebody has to do this! All the phones are basically the same thing in a slightly different package. Ever so slightly! I touch on this topic in a video on my channel and I'd really appreciate if you checked it out. I use the Priv to demonstrate my point. It's called "An Unusual Phone in Modern Times"

    • @zairrdvordenta7724
      @zairrdvordenta7724 Před 6 lety

      jano me
      The only problem is the dread of breaking the keyboard and you don't if it can be replaced or pay a hefty amount.
      Otherwise I like keyboards and adopt them happily but I don't think it's gonna be accepted well by people who are in the bezelless,thin phone age even if it's a niche product

    Is it just me or was this phone pretty epic from the outset? The hub, the productivity side of things, that little hub selector up top to centre on the notifications you want to use is smart! Imagine if a current android/iphone notification shade had that!

  • @starzzzy22
    @starzzzy22 Před 8 lety +192

    Yeah I'm getting a Priv. I get it-touch screens are the common thing now, but ever since I left my Blackberry Curve behind for all touch screen androids, I've been annoyed with the touch screen typing. Luckily, software can be updated and Marshmallow will come after the new year. Every single phone I've ever had hasn't been perfect (and that's after having two Samsungs, one HTC, two Motorolas, and one LG) so I expect a few issues and kinks in the beginning.

    All I can say is WELCOME BACK BB!! I am totally in love with this incredible machine,I can't understand all the negative reviews about this phone. BB and Android, what a MARRIAGE. Everything about it is seamless and functions perfectly. I am so glad I didn't listen to all the bad reviews and so glad I used my own judgment. One thing tho loved the passport keyboard over this one, the only flaw in my opinion, and yes, it will take some time to get used to it..

      Ever tried one? I've been using my Z10 for more than a year now, and it's just as fast as it was when I bought it. My Dad bought an LG on the same day when I bought Z10, and his mobile lags so much that he had to replace it with an another Mobile.

    • @taz874
      @taz874 Před 8 lety

      +Akshay Dhargawe again. You said lg abit vague. Since lg make various phones from budget level to top range phones. And have you ever used a stock android phone with no skins or bloat ware like a motorola or a nexus device. They continue to run just as fast and don't experience lag. Also BB 10 sure its a good OS but with a huge lack of apps when compared to the app market on IOS and android then that itself just ruins the OS.

    • @AkshayDhargave
      @AkshayDhargave Před 8 lety +5

      I agree BlackBerry10 doesn't have a huge number of Apps on BlackBerry World, but how does that makes an OS not worthy? BB10 merits as the most fluid OS in the market. I have all the Apps I need, that too preinstalled. I surely don't have Instagram and Snapchat, but that's fine, I can live with it, but clearly most people can't -_-. Thinking a mobile OS is all about OS, is such a great mistake.

      +EVOL SCAVENGER You'd think a $1000 phone would be 4-5 times better than a $220 phone, but that's not really the case. Take the Moto G 3rd gen for example. It has an HD 5 inch screen, water protection, ability to customize the exterior, sd card slot, it's unlocked, has an all day battery life, it's fast and snappy, has a decent camera, has the latest clean Android version, and it looks nice.
      But in a $1000 phone (Like the iPhone 6s plus), you get a better display, nfc, faster performance, fingerprint reader, better camera and more storage.
      In reality the iPhone is better than the Moto G, yet missing some features a $200 phone has.
