Blackberry Priv

[Anonymous]

Hey guys... new to the forums side of o2, i was wondering if anyone knows if o2 will be stocking the blackberry priv, if not stocking it would i be able to pay off my device then upgrade through carphone warehouse or do i have to pay off device and airtime plan on o2 refresh before i can upgrade like this(new to upgrading haha)

Thanks!

Hope this is true as I have seen the Priv is coming to T-Mobile on the 26th in US so was hoping it may be the same for the UK.

I only ask because when we last heard on here O2 had no intention of stocking the Priv. I am hoping this caller wasn't a third party seller trying to sign you up with a false promise?

Also if you look at this thread (earlier on) it appears the Priv was exclusive to CPW https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Devices-Nokia-Blackberry/Blackberry-Priv/m-p/923982/highlight/tr...

Just to add, there's no Priv on my weekly portfolio updates. When business decisions are made to range a particular device, it is included in this update I receive. As there's still no Priv listed, I want to set the expectation that there are still no plans for this device.

Sorry for any disappointment this causes but the device is still exclusive to CPW. If or when that exclusivity period ends (if it does...) then it would open networks up to be able to range this but that being said, it's no guarantee networks / O2 would range it even if that exclusivity period ends.

Due to this, the best I can recommend is to register on our device updates page and/or keep an eye open here on the community for any official announcements.
