Is there any definite price on this pda/phone? Any ideas?
I for one, want it to be under the $700 range. What do you guys think?
You might be lucky. I would like it to be £99 but no chance of that!
Haha, what I am trying to say is what is the maximum you would like to pay for this device? (no plan, just the pda/phone)
O2 have said free to £229.99, so add on say £160 or so for whatever their cheapest tarrif is for a year and you've got your max price.
711 dollars. I can live with that. Where did you get those figures anyway?
Price of HTC
It cost the company about $10.00USD or less to manufracture the plastic, metal, and LCD screens in a assembly line. The cost is generated by what people or "willing" to pay for the technology.
Most people will find this as a laptop replacement device. My business I carry a laptop and do powerpoint presentations a lot to prospects in Cafe and restaurants at times. I would easily pay $1,000.00USD for a device that can replace my laptop and my cell phone in one.
HTC will most likely cost $799.99+ 823.249 EUR :idea:
Out in Switzerland by the end of Septembre
You can buy it directly from qtek:

From Newegg, promo code EMCJHKJ76. They have the blue version for $600 also; the pink one is more expensive, and they only have the 16GB flavor, sadly. Still, good price on an item that's almost $700 at expansys.
Well, it looks like I am going to have to get the A7+ because of the multitouch BS. I woul just get a different brand but I love the screen and tegra chip-set and the resolution that everyone complains about is perfect for me and my ever-worsening vision (color nook res is too small on a 7inch!). I am pretty broke so I'm looking for someone who is willing to sell cheap because they are so damn rich they don't need the money or someone who is will to do a trade. I have a lot og gadgets and electronics and other stuff. PM me if you fit anywhere in there and we can talk. Thanks!
What country do you live in ? Here in Canada (Toronto area) factorydirect is selling refurbs for CDN $120.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I live in US. I see they can be had online for around that price, refurb. However when you are broke, $120 is a lot of money. I just can't spare that cash that I need to use for essentials. I was hoping for a trade or someone who was just selling to get rid of it for cheap.
It comes with the choices of white or black. Its a good bargain considering some are selling on here for like 500 dollars.

Sold out!
Carphone Warehouse are now taking pre-orders for the Blackberry Priv,
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phones/blackberry-priv
The bad news? £580 sim-free. (That's the equivalent of about $900 US)
If you ask me, Blackberry are pricing themselves out of the market. At minimum it's £100 overpriced in order to be competitive, especially when compared to something like the Nexus 6P. The maximum price for this should have been £450, and even then it would be a major uphill struggle to shift 5 million units.
I was so excited for this phone, but at that price I think my money would be better spent on a 6P.
I was waiting for this phone as the only option for Android, HW keyboard and decent specs.... but at this price I don't think it makes much sense. Heck even the corporate procurement officers will scratch their heads with such a price, even if the security is top notch. Common BB, get serious!
Settle down, guys. That's the European price and most likely includes VAT. Electronics are also more expensive in Europe. It'll most likely be $599 or $649 here.
MSRP $949 in Canada.

Expensive but I'm still getting one!
I need my physical keyboard back
I would think that depreciation value of this phone would be quite high due to BlackBerry current circumstances and market share. However I could be wrong, it could hold it's value because of being a niche product. If it's a hit then I could see them holding the same price for at least a year or more but if it's not then it might see the Amazon Fire phone slash and burn price method.
mobilesyrup article puts pricing at $799 CAN which puts a US price at more like $599
Apparently it was momentarily priced for $749 USD.

I'm wondering how much of that is actually BlackBerry and how much is CarphoneWarehouse. It wouldn't be the first time a device has been unpopular simply because of how and where it was marketed.
Preorder pricing has always been a little "stab in the dark" as far as I'm concerned, the only thing we can really do is wait. I'm really hoping the competition between retailers drives the price to a slightly saner number but I'm not holding my breath.
The Priv looks like an amazing device but £580 is a little rich for my blood.
I think it will probably similar priced as the galaxy S6+, perhaps slightly more.
This is first android edition from BlackBerry

$699 US. http://us.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-priv/buy.html
I'll be getting one. My caveat is I'm on T-Mo USA and need to wait for the wifi-calling compatible version.
I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be about $650-700 in the US.

899 CAD in Canada, which is a bit high for my taste. Not BlackBerry's fault though, would've been 799 where I would've bought it.
Although Rogers is doing 399/2yr or 799 outright.

Buying outright from Rogers and unlocking is cheaper in any case.
blackberry always overprices its devices, mostly people buy it to use it as a STATUS SYMBOL
Not necessarily. Passport was $699 at launch, still the same price for full off contract at Rogers, and you have to pay to unlock it. Bell and Telus both selling it for $750.
Canada works a bit backwards in this regard.
I was gonna get it until the price was revealed. I decided to go with the G4 and im glad i made the decision

I can't even remember the last time BB was a status symbol, at least in the US or Europe, however this is the first 'unique' Android phone in years, so you never know. I'm going to resist buying it as long as possible b/c the price will definitely drop on contract, but I don't know how long I'll be able to wait.
