Now that the BlackBerry Priv is here there's going to be more than a few people who are wondering where they can get their hands on one. And we wouldn't blame you one bit.
Here in the UK we're fortunate enough to be one of the lucky launch markets for the Priv and that means that it's going to be finding its way into peoples hands very soon. Here's where you can get your hands on one.
ShopBlackBerry
If you want your Priv factory fresh and contract free you can do worse than head over to BlackBerry's official store to pick one up. Better still, if you want to accessorize your Priv with cases, charging docks and more then you'll find the full range there as well.
ShopBlackBerry is selling the Priv at £559.00. Shipping is currently set to commence on November 9.

Carphone Warehouse
Initially, at least, Carphone Warehouse is the UKs exclusive retail partner for the BlackBerry Priv. SIM free you'll be paying £1 more than ShopBlackBerry, but with the added bonus of being able to go to an actual store and see one for yourself if you want first.
Carphone Warehouse will also sell you the Priv on a range of contracts across Vodafone, O2 and EE. Take a look at what's on offer at the link below. Shipping currently estimates to have your Priv delivered by November 13.
