Carphone Warehouse is back with another Priv by BlackBerry video, this time giving us another look at the smartphone as well as what is in the box. We've already seen a few hands-on videos of the Priv, but this time the folks at Carphone Warehouse unbox a retail unit for the first time. Wondering what will come in the package when you receive your first Android-powered BlackBerry?
Well, it will come with the phone itself, some informational packets, a SIM tool, headphones and the charger. Beyond just what's in the box, they run through some of the features of the OS, giving us another look. There isn't much out of the ordinary here, but it's still exciting to see it yet again. Have you pre-ordered your Priv already? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.
