Blackberry has a new phone out

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

It's called the Priv and  . . .
 
 
wait for it . . .
 
 
it runs on Android!  And it has a 5.2 inch screen that is curved and slides up to reveal . . .
 
 
wait for it . . .
 
 
a physical keyboard!
 
 
Anyone care?  This Reddit has some positive comments.  And rumour has it that if this phone doesn't go over well, BBerry could be out of the phone business completely.

Sounds like a great endorsement opportunity for Keytar Bear

As someone committed to being the last BB user in the world, I'm somewhat psyched about this.

To WBCDs point regarding BBRY and their hardware manufacturing, they have recently purchased 2 "containerized" app companies. The first, WatchDox is a Dropbox type document sharing product. The second, GOOD Technology is a containerized email product that integrates document sharing as well. I think long term they will basically take their products to a platform neutral app model.
