So far am loving it, all apps actually work like they should :-)

My only concerns so far.

1. The hub is not really like in BB10, it has this Android feel, which I HATE. The "view" is so not BB10.
2. The keyboard is really small, not comfortable to type on.

Overall, I am very happy, I do think they will fix these things, need to give them some time. battery is AMAZING, virtual keyboard is amazing, like on the Z30.

Remember to update all BB apps right away, it comes with a REALLY outdated version of hub and the rest.

How amazing is the battery? How many hours of SOT (screen on time) are you getting?

How would you compare the keyboard to the "classic" bb bold keyboard?

Thanks!

The battery lasts through the day easily, no need to look for chargers.

The keyboard is a new concept. It's laid out like the typical BlackBerry keyboard, but has a plasticky feel, hard to explain. Also the top row is hard to type on due to it being close to the edge.

It's a great device though.

Yup extremely cool, very clear screen battery can't really tell yet, keep on forgetting to use the keyboard, but overall it's very good.  I'm coming from a S4 active.

Last I've heard was December 8. I'm not sure I'm gonna hold out though. Reviews have been across the board. Picked up a Note 5 for $150.

I have a friend who has the Priv. It has a very nice feature that I loved (maybe android also has it... I had a Blackberry till 6 months ago and now an iPhone. Never tried android).

When getting an email you can ignore it an set it should come in again at a later time. This is excellent when getting an email -lets say- with my CC statement and I wanna pay it in 2 days, instead of making a reminder you just click it should come in again at that time...
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

Yup, it's called SNOOZE. You can set it up with a simple swipe.
