The pre-orders for the Priv by BlackBerry are well underway through various outlets such as Rogers, Carphone Warehouse, Shop BlackBerry and more. With shipments rolling out on November 6, 2015, and like every BlackBerry device before it, we're rather curious as to how many of you all out there have already jumped into the foray and placed your order for one.
Of course, the best way to judge that is to run a poll, so go ahead and help us out here. Let know using the poll below whether or not you have pre-ordered yourself a Priv. If you have, let us know why in the comments and if you haven't well, you can also let know in the comments. Looking to learn more about the Priv? Check out our Priv super page for more details.
