I have an eye on the Priv. I never used a BB, but this got my eye.

Some thoughts;
- Quite pricey
- The new Moto X & Nexus are one model, universal unlocked for all carriers, don't know why Priv isn't for CDMA (hopefully the rumer about VZW is true)
- Not the latest Android version
- no fingerprint reader
- removable battery - or i'm asking too much already...
And let me add, wireless charging

I get the love of physical keyboards, but really? A blackberry running AndroidOS that's a slider phone? That's just too many weird combinations for me.

I'm seriously considering getting this for my wife, since she needs a new phone and loves her keyboard (she currently has the Motorola Photon Q), but the $699 price is a bit steep for me :'(

I'm also interested, but, yes, that is steep. Any ideas how to get it for less? C'mon, this is DDF, after all! ;)
