| hands on with the priv. |
For years now, Apple as well as Android fanboys (myself not excluded) have been predicting the doom of Blackberry phones, blackberry OS and in short the whole blackberry ecosystem. Well it seems that we'd all have to hold on to our hats as the California based smartphone manufacturer is not going down without a fight. In recent days, blackberry has been gently teasing a new breakthrough smartphone that could rescue them from obscurity. The name of the smartphone is the "priv". It is an android based(yes, you heard right) smartphone built around a slider form factor allowing for a slide-out keyboard(which is touch enabled). The screen is 2k resolution with a diagonal size of 5.4 inches.
