Although the Priv any surprises for good and for bad, his recent departure in Spain and the arrival of the update to Android Marshmallow have raised interest again by this particular terminal, which is why today we bring you two of your best features: your keyboard and its launcher.
BlackBerry
Yes, as most of the existing BlackBerry's, the BlackBerry Priv keyboard is physical. Then, how can we enjoy your keyboard in the rest of devices? As always, the huge community of Android has the answer. In this case, it is entrysky, developer at XDA, who has been able to create one. APK with the closest thing BlackBerry keyboard. You can see all his work in his official post.
Although most of his work requires root permissions, precisely this application along with the of your calendar do not require be root user. In fact, your only requirement is to have an Android version equal to or greater than 5.0 Android Lollipop.
This keyboard has all the features regarding the original, e.g., prediction and correction of words and even emojis and more than 20 languages, including catalan, Galician or Spanish.
Even so, its most prized feature is its word prediction. Before and during the writing, BlackBerry keyboard shows up the following characters the word that he believes that it will be formed, and in the case that guess, simply with a gesture upwards with your finger it will end the word.
How to install step by step the BlackBerry Priv keyboard
The installation of the keyboard has no secret, just got off the file. APK of the more downloads section down and passed it to the memory of our terminal, from which we will access it and will carry out the installation.
All settings are within the application we just installed, and from there we can configure language, the AutoCorrect, word prediction and response time.
Ultimately, it is the approach more accurate one of the best physical keyboards that exist, with the same design and even more features than the original. His only weaknesses are perhaps a little customization in the sense of colors or themes (only black) and a design slightly "packed", although for some it is considered a benefit, since we have more free space on the screen.
Little more than one week ago BlackBerry Priv expanded horizons reaching three new markets in Europe: Spain, Netherlands and Italy. Now the Canadian manufacturer add another country to the list, and they are our neighbors, France.
Thus, the BlackBerry phone with Android operating system is now available to be purchased in France. In fact you can buy in the French store official ShopBlackBerry.
In terms of the price of the BlackBerry Priv, is 779 euros, being the same price that has this terminal in many European countries from its surroundings.
Meanwhile in the United States the smartphone is currently a sole operator AT & T, while BlackBerry has already said his Priv to reach other big competitors of AT & T companies such as T-Mobile and Verizon, both will begin to offer BlackBerry Priv for purchase during this quarter.
The new Apple, Samsung, Sony or LG terminals among others always raised many expectations. They are months of rumours about what will be the novelties of the flagships of each brand, until they end up being presented. But by the end of 2015, with the majority of the already submitted flagships, Palm rumors Priv. BlackBerry takes them
It has not lack appeal much to rumors, since the company us has been revealing every millimeter of his new bet, this time with Android as an operating system. And known up and down the terminal is the question of price, already made official in several countries, but not so far in the euro area, which definitely will cost 779 euros.
Already two weeks ago that the Canadians confirmed date and price of the Priv in United States, Canada and Great Britain launch: November 6 from 699 dollars, $ 899 or 559 pounds. By then was us doubt of what would happen with the conversion to euros, which in the last us is damaging to those who use the European currency.
And after rumors of a price 799 euros for its initial launch, we now have official confirmation. Through an update of the blog's BlackBerry, from which binds to several shops, we have discovered that the price of launching in Germany and Netherlands (and hope in Spain) be 779 euros, close to schedule.
The BlackBerry Priv since then it will not be cheap. Its price puts you at the height of the flagships of the most popular brands, or even above, for which the BlackBerry is very risky. Such disbursement will move away to the pocket of many private, but the expectation aroused by the first BlackBerry with Android is still high.
Perhaps the last official price has cooled tempers of some few, but by what I read in the comments of previous related news, there are a few BlackBerry faithful wishing to make with the Priv. Now we have the most important thing, being able to touch the Priv to evaluate the first adventure of the Canadians in the Android world.
