Ignore the media, this is a wonderful phone!

15 Feb 2016 By Amritha A On flipkart.com

Welcome back BlackBerry!nnOther than the Indian price, everything about this phone is worth talking about. Wait for a price cut and get it, totally stylish slider with substance, power specs, Got mine from the US.nnAnd they added their own nice touches to make it the best Android interface view, even better than stock Android - pop up widgets, Hub, productivity edge, battery indicator along the edge. Virtual keyboard's intelligent suggestions is way better than Swype. You can also use the physical keyboard as a trackpad.nnHigh end, really liked it and am happy that I switched from the iPhone.

No , Blackberry Priv is not worth in 2018 as you can easily get 4GB ram and much better processor and camera quality even at 10-12k so why to spend 22k on this.
