Blackberry Priv is Now Available on T-Mobile

If you have been waiting for the Blackberry Priv to come to T-Mobile then today is a very good day for you.  The flagship device from the company (and perhaps the savior of it all?) has come to T-Mobile and is available for Zero down on a 30 month payment plan for $30 per month or an outright purchase of $719.99.  The pricing is in line with what is offered by AT&T, the carrier who had the device exclusively since it’s launch so don’t expect a savings on it.

While the Blackberry Priv has had some mixed reviews, overall the device has done well in the market.  Currently it is running on Lollipop 5.1.1 but it is expected to receive its Marshmallow update this quarter.  Given that Blackberry has positioned the Priv as a secure and privacy friendly device, it is regularly updated with security patches and fixes and that should continue even after the Marshmallow update.

Download The Blackberry Priv Wallpapers

The all singing and dancing Blackberry Priv is now available and the initial reviews of this Android device complete with a physical keyboard are pretty good.  As is usually the case when a new phone is released, any special software bits and wallpapers are stripped out by the developer community for everyone to enjoy and the Priv is no different.

Over on the Mobile Wallpaper page I have posted all five of the stock wallpapers that come with the Blackberry Priv.  These, along with the over 100 others, are completely free to download and you can do it either from your Android device, PC, Mac or Chromebook.

Blackberry Priv to Receive Monthly Security Updates

The all new Blackberry Priv has landed and Blackberry seems to be seriously focused on seeing their flagship Android device to success.  Part of that effort is keeping it up-to-date and in a blog post today the company is aiming to do just that and to do it frequently.  Blackberry has announced that the Blackberry Priv will be receiving monthly security updates, much like the Google Nexus devices do today.  This commitment is similar to that of HTC who has promised their new One A9 will receive security updates 15 days after Google releases them each month.

One of the biggest perceptions – correct or otherwise – of Android is that it is less secure than other platforms.  Google, after the Stage Fright security challenge, has doubled-down on getting updates out to their devices but that hasn’t been the case with other manufactures.  Blackberry for their part, want to be on top of it and that is nothing but a good thing for users who are getting or considering getting the Priv.
