BlackBerry CEO John Chen Goes Hands-on With the Priv (VIDEO)


Confirming rumours, BlackBerry unveiled its first device with Android�s operating system. John Chen gave BNN�s Amber Kanwar a worldwide exclusive first look at the phone.
Earlier today BlackBerry finally let the cat out of the bag and confirmed rumors they are indeed close to launching a new Android slider they�re calling the BlackBerry Priv. It was the very same day last week we got an early sneak peek at the Priv in a hands-on video, but in case you were looking for something a little more official, BlackBerry CEO John Chen gave BNN�s Amber Kanwar a worldwide exclusive first look at the phone.

In his extremely awkward hands-on on demo (it�s clear Chen still needs to get better acclimated with the new OS), the CEO fumbles around the OS a bit before giving up. He also mentions again that Priv is short, not only for privacy, but the privilege you end up with after buying the phone. Ummm� Okay. In case you wanted another look at the phone that could be ours � and many of yours � next daily driver, the cringe-worthy video can be found below.
