Why all the carrier hate?
Verizon is trying to sell the Blackberry Priv for $299 *plus* a two year contract. Few years ago I bought the Samsung Note 3 in a buy one get one free scenario just after the 3's were introduced (and before the Ellen Degenerous did the selfie thing). There's been no advertising and even though I had a BB Priv arrival notification in with my local 'Verizon Business Representative', not a word has been said by this Verizon busybody about it, yet calls up every other week trying to dump last year's POS tablet flavor of the month on me. I know the BB Priv is in stock, yet Verizon has decided to be dicks about it for some reason.
Fuck. I don't like companies like Verizon, AT&T, Facebook, Google, etc becoming all-powerful, where just a word or policy can make or break another company. Between the governments and the corps... us line animals are fucked.
