When the Priv was announced as having a dual-curved edge display, one key question that kept on coming up was whether or not the edge would be put to use or would it just be a flashy item on the specs and features list. As it turns out, BlackBerry did find some great uses for it by way of the Productivity Tab, which appears along the screen's curved edge.
The idea being that with a swipe you can get glanceable views of the most pertinent information to you from Hub, Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts but the question we're asking today is, are you using it? There's no requirement to do so, you can disable it if you wish but have you? Let us know in the poll below whether you're using the feature or not.
