Although pre-orders for the BlackBerry Priv have already begun through ShopBlackBerry for the US, UK and Canada, retailer B&H Photo has now jumped on board as well. As noted on their site, pre-orders for the first Android-powered BlackBerry smartphone have started with expected availability on November 20, 2015.
B&H has maintained the same pricing for orders through them, meaning you will be expected to lay down $699 for the factory unlocked version. As with all orders processed through B&H, you have the option of having the device shipped to you, or if you're in the New York area, you can pick it up at their New York City superstore location.
