BlackBerry's first Android-powered smartphone, the Priv, has arrived and if you're looking to pick one up in the U.S., you have a few options available to you. Right now, ShopBlackBerry, AT&T and B&H Photo all have the Priv on their websites for purchase or pre-order but you'll want to be mindful of shipping dates if you're looking to get your hands on one as soon as possible.
Unless you placed your pre-order earlier, ShopBlackBerry orders will now be sent out the week of November 23. AT&T, on the other hand, will ship a new Priv out to you today or you have the option of picking one up at a retail location. B&H Photo will take your order today, but will not ship or have stock at their NYC superstore location until November 20. Finally, Amazon is now taking orders for the BlackBerry Priv, complete with Prime shipping.
