You can pre-order the BlackBerry Priv from Carphone Warehouse in the UK for £579

Blackberry has been slowly revealing the various features of its first Android-powered smartphone, the Priv, and everyone seems to be excited about it so far. Blackberry has managed to differentiate the Priv with its physical keyboard, slider design and a secure, Android experience. Unlike most brands that hire out huge halls to announce a new handset, BlackBerry seems to be content with simply making the Priv available to pre-order, yesterday from the Canadian carrier, Rogers, and today in the UK via Carphone Warehouse.

Carphone Warehouse has the BlackBerry Priv available to pre-order off-contract for £579 ($895), or from £49 on a two-year contract with no upfront cost. The product listing also confirms some specifications that have been bandied about for a month or two.

• 5.4-Inch dual-curved display with 1440 x 2560 resolution
