BlackBerry Priv: After two weeks on test, looks like this is a keeper

Canonical Exegesis
FAIL

The 3 main areas that kill this for me are:

1. The stupidly small portrait keyboard. There is absolutely NO POINT to a keyboard the same size as the SMALLER onscreen one. An E7 Nokia device of 5.7-6 inches wiuld be ideal

2. The "security" mashup of Google and BB is utter foolishness; BB10 ALREADY HAD ACL for properly-sandboxed Android apps that DIDN T compromise the security and had better-than-Marshmallow fine-grained permissions without the leaky OS.

3. Lack of removable battery and MicroSDXC card- plus IR port-same failings as Note5 but even more important for BB.

The same dodgy Elop Nokia strategy is being played out by Chen who has refused to allow release of BB10 phones with updated hardware for more than 2 years; any OS that is NOT subject to the Patriot Act *must* be destroyed before it gets 5% of the market.
