14 DAY TRIAL // BlackBerry PRIV is a hard-to-come-by smartphone, as many customers who pre-ordered it are still waiting for their favorite handset to arrive.
The Canadian company had to delay some pre-orders for unknown reasons. BlackBerry blamed the delay on the high demand for PRIV, but that should have been expected for the company's first Android smartphone.
It's unclear why BlackBerry was not prepared with enough stocks for the launch of such an important device for the future of its smartphone business.
If you live in the UK and haven't ordered the BlackBerry PRIV from any of the retail stores that are now selling it, you can do it now via BlackBerry UK shop.
The smartphone has been out of stock for quite some time, but BlackBerry announced that the PRIV is now back in stock and customers can order the smartphone for £560 outright.
Shipping fees are not included in the retail price
Carphone Warehouse sells the unlocked version of BlackBerry PRIV for the same price, but customers can also get it for free on certain contracts with various UK carriers. Amazon UK, on the other hand, is selling the BlackBerry PRIV for a whopping £655.
One thing worth mentioning is that BlackBerry UK shop will send your PRIV right away, but depending on the shipping method you choose, you might get it faster.
Keep in mind that the shipping price is not included in the phone's price, so you will have to pay an additional £9.28 or £16.44.
The PRIV won't remain the only Android smartphone launched by BlackBerry, as the company's official confirmed that many other devices would follow soon.
BlackBerry Vienna is one of the upcoming Android smartphones that the Canadian company is likely to launch next year. Others may follow if these types of devices will be in high demand.
