It is quite coincident when Apple has just released iOS 9.0.2 to updated their Privacy Policy, BlackBerry also sent out a message related to that issue on the page of BlackBerry Priv, which is going on sale in the near future.

The message reads: “We at BlackBerry are happy to see Apple is now taking your privacy seriously.” In addition, they mentions it is BlackBerry that have been producing the smartphones coming with the most secure system during the past 20 years.
Besides, launching the BlackBerry Priv is also to remind people of the long history of this company, considered as the best symbol of valuing the customers’ privacy. And Apple is only at the second place.Of course BlackBerry did not just say; they proved it by posting a new photo of the BlackBerry Priv with the slider closed. Looking closer, you will see what is shown on the Priv’s browser. It was directed to Apple’s website, or the part containing the information of dealing with privacy, to be more specifically. We wonder what Apple will feel or say when seeing this!
In fact, BlackBerry Priv is said to stand out among many smartphones introduced in this H2 of 2015 since it sports a gorgeous look physical, a QWERTY keyboard put under the 5.4-inch Quad HD screen, and a newest Android operating system nowadays. On the other hand, it still can assure to be secure, and run the Google Play Store and any Android app without a hitch. That sounds great!
In conclusion, we have to admit that BlackBerry have their point when showing that a secure phone is very important. And with the upcoming Android device in November BlackBerry Priv, we hope that BlackBerry can really bring users the most safe handset as they said.Well, how about you? What do you think about the new strategy of BlackBerry 😉 ?

Do you still remember the flagship “slider” that Blackberry introduced in MWC this year? It is named as Blackberry Venice and said to sport a curved Quad HD display. Recently, we have just got more new updates from @evleaks. Accordingly, this BlackBerry’s slider is ready to hit the shelves in November, 2015.

BlackBerry Venice is expected to feature a large touchscreen that can slide up to reveal an iconic physical keyboard from BlackBerry. On the other hand, it is also said that the Venice will own curved edges like Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.

Spec-wise, some leaks revealed that BlackBerry Venice would be the very first device in the BlackBerry house to run on Android OS and we hope that it will be Android Marshmallow, the newest ver from Google. Besides that, BlackBerry Venice specs are likely to include a 5.4-inch QHD display, a Snapdragon 808 processor paired with 3GB RAM.

Looking at the leaked pictures of BB Venice, we notice that the SIM and microSD card slot are placed on the top of the phone. Other than that, there are no more words made for other specs of this unique machine such as camera, battery, storage, etc.

As we mentioned above, @evleaks said that November would see the BlackBerry Venice launch. Though, it has not been confirmed by the company yet. As for the glossy BlackBerry Venice price and availability, we will update the information as soon as possible.

Now, let’s have a look at the beautiful BlackBerry Venice before it is launched in November (or maybe even sooner), and tell us what do you think about it 😉 !
