BLACKBERRY PRIV – the Canadian company's first Android smartphone – is now on sale in the UK.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Blackberry's first Android smartphone is now on sale across the UK.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Android-powered Priv has a physical keyboard, like the Blackberry Curves of yore. The physical keyboard is also a rarity on modern Android smartphones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of the box, the Priv looks like any other flagship phone until you slide the keyboard out from the bottom, like a desk drawer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's an engineering feat given that the Blackberry phone still feels thin, although it is slightly thicker than Samsung and Apple's flagships.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BlackBerry devices are known for their security and privacy protections – and the Priv is no different.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amongst the new additions to Google's Android operating system, the Canadian firm has included some of its famous privacy features. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Priv ships with an app that quickly rates your device security based on factors, such as whether you've enabled a passcode. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BlackBerry app also identifies other apps that grab personal information. I saw that Facebook has accessed my location 41 times in the past week, for example.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another headline feature of the Priv is its impressive battery life with Blackberry promising a staggering 22.5 hours of mixed use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Priv boasts a large 5.4inch display, which is slightly curved on both sides, similar to Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge devices. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Slide a toolbar from the side to access your calendar, messages and contacts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The email app is also more sophisticated than most; it supports rich-text formatting, such as italics and colours, when composing messages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BlackBerry also offers icons that serve as shortcuts to frequent tasks, such as composing a message, viewing alarms or checking data usage. Windows phones have a similar feature, but like BlackBerry 10, few people use them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest Blackberry smartphone, which sports a sharp 18-megapixel camera and runs on Android 5.1.1, will carry a £579.99 price tag SIM free.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cheapest monthly cost rings in at £32.50 if you don’t mind paying out a little more for the handset upfront – some £79.99.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>When will Blackberry Priv be available?</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carphone Warehouse is taking pre-orders now and according to the retailer’s online store it expects to ship orders starting 6 November 2015.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Which networks will carry Blackberry Priv?</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the time of writing the BlackBerry Priv will be available on O2, Vodafone, EE and Carphone Warehouse’s very own iD network.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>How big is Blackberry Priv screen?</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BlackBerry Priv sports a 5.4-inch QHD display (the Q stands for quad) and delivers a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels (540ppi).</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Which version of Android will Blackberry Priv be running?</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BlackBerry Priv is the first ever Android-toting smartphone from the Canadian phone maker.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of the box you’ll find Android 5.1.1 Lollipop - but with Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the horizon, it remains to be seen how soon the update will arrive on the Blackberry Priv.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BlackBerry has also built something it calls DTEK into its Android packaging. DTEK offers an extra layer of security to the user, taking care of all your privacy concerns.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>BlackBerry Priv processor and memory</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Priv runs a 1.8GHz dual core (+ 1.44GHz quad core) Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC. It also packs a regulation 3GB of RAM.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>What about Blackberry Priv camera?</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Priv carries a 18-megapixel camera on the rear (there have been rumours of optical image stabilisation and 4K UHD video recording capabilities too).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the front you’ll find a 5-megapixel snapper for selfies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>How long does Blackberry Priv battery last?</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until we get our hands on a device to review we don’t know for sure, but the specifications indicate a pleasingly healthy 3,410mAh capacity (put in perspective the Samsung Edge clocks in at 2,600mAh, while the iPhone 6S only carries 1715mAh). </div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Additional technical specifications:</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Device size: 147 (184 when opened) x 77.2 x 9.4mm</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Internal memory: 32GB</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
