AT&T & BlackBerry have a long relationship with each other since the very first BlackBerry device came out, every time AT&T improves their network, newer BlackBerry devices were usually right there to take advantage of the improvements and new features. And now with the much-surrounded hype on the new BlackBerry PRIV Android device, AT&T proudly states today, that they will be the first to bring this device to the USA, on this Friday, November 6th, 2015. The BlackBerry PRIV will be the first BlackBerry handset that will run Android OS Lollipop. The PRIV will also feature a familiar, slide-out physical keyboard (reminds us of the BlackBerry Torch 9900/9910). BlackBerry and Android fans can both pick up the new BlackBerry PRIV at AT&T retail outlets and on AT&T’s website. If you are looking to purchase the device unlocked you can get it for $700 and then take it to any carrier of your choosing.
