PRIV? I don’t know. What sort of name is that? I mean, after a nice name like “Passport”, why not give us something like “Visa”? PRIV? You guys tell me what you think.
Name is just Name… let us see what the device truly feels like!!!
The name priv is nice, could mean privilege
The name priv is nice, could mean privilege as it’s a privilege to have such a rare device
left field move, but names aren’t really important in the grand scheme of things
With a name like Priv,hope Blackberry will not in their true style prize it out of existence,like most of the Blackberry 10 variants..
What do you mean by ”prize it out of existence”??
Lol, OlamideMB, you knew what he meant
I imagine it is whatever the user wishes it to be. Privilege, Private….or even an acronym.
or priv, short for privy
Well, I was trying to get clarification to avoid miscommunication.
For some reason, I feel I’m going to be holding on to my passport for a long time 🙁
