The highlight of the phone is that it will have the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS. The users will have a full access to Google Mobile Services and Google Play App Store.

    The moment BlackBerry sent out indication that they are abandoning BlackBerry 10, a lot of loyalists got - well , you know what. Perhaps Android fork made used by BlackBerry to run Priv (sounds yikes..!) is strengthened enough for privacy paranoids. But so are the claims made by Silent Circle when launching their 'secure android' Blackphone 2.

    Waiting for the comments over Priv's price too 😀... (If at all they launch in India. For the records, BlackBerry's passport silver edirion not yet launched in India).
