BlackBerry no longer selling Priv at online store, discounts other phones
The BlackBerry
Priv is no longer on sale in the US BlackBerry store as it prepares for
the availability of the BlackBerry KEYone.
Released
in November 2015, the BlackBerry Priv was the company’s first experience making
phones for the Android platform. It was a premium device with a focus on
security features that housed a classic slide-out BlackBerry keyboard.
Reports from its first six months on sale suggested that it wasn’t very
popular, however.
The
device has now been dropped from the roster in several BlackBerry stores,
including the US and Canada, while BlackBerry has discounted the DTEK50 and DTEK60
from 2017, and cut 50% off accessories, as part of its “May Sale.”
The
DTEK50 now costs $229 ($70-off) and the DTEK60 comes in at $460 ($39-off). Meanwhile,
the Priv is still in stock in the UK and Germany at £294 and €342 respectively,
though it’s not clear for how much longer this will be available. Accessories
currently on sale include a selection of hard-shell, leather and flip
cases, and some official headphones.
