Dear fellow supporters, as the Blackberry Priv (original code name : Venice) is exactly what i want and has finally arrived at amazon.com (Pre-Sales started), i will terminate this petition soon. Needless to say, the price of the unit is still very high, but i guess we just have to wait a while until this will change to the better. There seems to be a huge interest in the unit, especially from business people, and for sure the expected success of this unit will be a motivation for the other smartphone manufacturers to start looking at physical keyboards again. So, in our own interest we should help advertising the Blackberry Priv to those who can affort to buy it now already, as it's success or failure will decided if we can buy some more affordable phones with similar specs one day. Thank you very much for your support ! Best Regards from Hamburg, Germany C. Wiesner
