BlackBerry Priv, Passport, Classic and other models no longer available from BlackBerry in the U.S.
All BlackBerry 10 handsets and the BlackBerry Priv are no longer available from the BlackBerry online website in the U.S. and Canada
It was back in September of 2015 that many of us heard the phone name BlackBerry Priv for the first time. Prior to a tweet from reliable tipster Evan Blass, BlackBerry's Android powered QWERTY slider was known by its code name, the Venice. Shortly thereafter, BlackBerry CEO John Chen confirmed the Priv name (it's short for Privacy of course), and the Android era was officially kicked off in Waterloo.
Besides the QWERTY slider, the Priv garnered plenty of attention for being the first Berry to run totally on Android. This meant that all of those popular apps in the Google Play Store would work perfectly on the Priv, not with the myriad problems that took place when Android Runtime was added to BlackBerry 10.
Now that BlackBerry is about to launch its best Android powered smartphone ever in the BlackBerry KEYone,, there doesn't seem to be a reason to continue to sell the Priv. The KEYone not only features a drool producing PKB, it also offers the kind of battery life that phone users would dream about if they dreamed about such things. So with the Priv no longer needed, the model has been removed from the Shop BlackBerry website in the U.S. and Canada.
So let's reiterate. BlackBerry's own Shop BlackBerry website is no longer selling any BlackBerry 10 powered phones anywhere. The Priv is available with huge discounts in the U.K. and Germany only. And the DTEK50 and DTEK60 are on sale, being offered in all regions covered by the manufacturer's online stores.
If you have a Priv, Passport, Classic or Leap and you need accessories, or you want to take advantage of the discounts on the DTEK50 or DTEK60, click on the slideshow below.
