BlackBerry has already making shipping Priv units pre-ordered through its online store, last Friday to be precise. However, this doesn’t mean that if you order a Priv today, it will be delivered to you tomorrow (or the day after).
Because of higher than anticipated demand for its first Android-running model, BlackBerry has been forced to push the shipping date for those whoorder a Priv starting today. If you take the plunge, you’ll see that you have to wait until November 23 in order to actually receive the smartphone.
Shipments have been “phased”, the company says, and it’s on November 23 when the second wave will commence. So effectively the Priv is still only on pre-order at the moment. You can’t say it’s available in stock if it takes two weeks to ship.
