If you happen to reside in Australia and are interested in the BlackBerry Priv, you'll be excited to find out that it is now available through Optus. In January, BlackBerry released the Priv in Italy, Spain, France and other locations, and now Australia is the latest to join the fun. Optus will be offering the Priv on a range of post-paid plans, and if you would rather purchase it at full price, you can do just that.
At this time the Priv is not yet listed on the Optus website, so pricing information is not yet showing. If you are interested in picking up a Priv for yourself or your business, you can contact your local Optus store for additional information.
