To recap
If there was ever a device to convince BlackBerry loyalists to jump onboard Android, this is it. It’s a more complete package than the PRIV was, and is a much more compelling device than either of the two most recent all-touch phones. It might even be the device to convince once-fans to leave their iPhones and Galaxies behind.
