BlackBerry Priv fans: your wait just got longer. A notice posted on the BlackBerry site has a new release date for the Priv. BlackBerry has cited unforeseen issues as the source of the new delay. BlackBerry has a lot riding on this new phone, delays are not a welcome sign. The verbiage suggests there may be future delays, with ship date only “expected” to be November 9th. This puts a whole weekend in between the original ship date of November 6th and the new date.
Update –
The first batch of orders are still on schedule to ship November 6th, however the new orders are shipping November 9th, as stated on BlackBerry website.
