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

Re: Z10 user forced to iPhone... wishing for Priv I think

Some interesting points about your former Z10:

It has the same ability to lock and disable the screen with magnetic phone cases. Blackberry cases (both pouch type and cover type) have the magnetic feature.

The camera is accessible from the lock screen, you just hold the camera icon and it launches in a few seconds while displaying a progress circle. But you're right about the flashlight...good idea !

I've been on BB10 for a couple years now, and I keep finding new little features.

The Priv is an interesting proposition though.

Re: Gone without carrier support

Yeah it's bad that US carriers seem to take longest or be last in getting updates out. If only it was like how Apple controls the updates through iTunes and everyone gets it.

Hmmm.... the new BB10 phones determine when an update is available by the sim card you are using (provided the phone is unlocked). If you can't wait for an update from Verizon, anyone have a Canadian sim like Virgin Wireless or Fido ? I'm with a provider in another region that doesn't see updates a quickly, so I use a deactivated sim from Canada which enables the phone to receive updates from that provider.
