Blackberry Android device 'VENICE' May Have A New Name

Few months ago, we heard news of an Android-powered Blackberry device that was set to drop. It started out as mere rumors but as time went on it started to look realistic as Leaked images and Leaked specs of the device started surfacing.

Blackberry Venice Blackberry priv specs and images

During the early stages, we called it the Blackberry Slider then later we got the codename Venice, but the real official name remained a mystery UNTIL NOW!


Blackberry's first ever Android device codenamed Venice is expected to launch officially in a matter of weeks and until now we've known it by its codename Venice but it seems we may have its official name.

According to long time tech tipster Evan Blass, a man who has been right on many occasions, it's going to be called Blackberry Priv.

He said in a tweet:


" At retail, Venice transforms into the......

Blackberry Priv"



The name may sound odd and weird now but with tome we'd have no choice but to stick with it, or as Evan said in a tweet "Names always sound weird until they don't" He also went to say "if you survived the Nintendo Wii, you'll certainly acclimate Priv .

Now to the pronunciation, we now know the official name but how do we pronounce it?

Would it be Priv pronounced pryv as in PRIVACY? Blackberry has always been acclaimed for its powerful mobile security. Or would it be Priv pronounced Preev as in REPRIEVE? Could they be asking for one last chance? Or was it meant to rhyme with EXPENSIVE! Which is what most Blackberry phones are!


The Venice Priv seems to be the last chance for Blackberry to prove that they're still worth the cash in our pockets, and also to win back users who ditched them for Android and Apple devices in the recent years.

We may all be using HTCs, Samsungs, Infinix' and iPhones now but we cannot deny the fact that Blackberry introduced us to the world of Smartphones.

In a previous post I highlighted a few specs of the Blackberry Venice oh, Sorry! I meant Blackberry Priv ;)
