BlackBerry Priv now available in Germany

You're looking for an Android device with a hardware keyboard and slider function? Then the Priv from the house of Blackberry is probably exactly the right model. The best thing about it: The Canadian phablet can be purchased in Germany from now on.

It was probably one of the biggest surprises in 2015 - the BlackBerry Priv. But not the keyboard or slider function make the Priv something special, no: it is the fact that it is the first BlackBerry device does not come with the hotel's own BlackBerry OS on the market, but with Google's Android.

Precisely that Android is indeed located very close to the vanilla version, but was adapted in terms of safety. However, not only in terms of security you want to have a lot to improve, but in general on the hardware. Unfortunately, this unique top model comes at a price. So BlackBerry gets 779 euros from the Priv. Whether this sum it is a value, you have to decide in each individual case, of course, here.
