Priv was launched in India at Rs 62,990, and it is now listed at Rs. 57,990 on Amazon.

Blackberry currently introduced to have sold 600,000 handsets amid the last three months till March end, which was lower than 850,000 units predicted by analysts. Meanwhile, there is no word on how many Priv units were sold. Priv remained in a really tight spot because it had more cons than pros even though the pros are really good. It did not appeal to BlackBerry fans, thanks to badly implemented Hub, average keypad and not so thumb friendly interface like on previous BlackBerry devices. Read the complete Priv review  to know more.
