New Blackberry Priv for the best on-contract price I've seen so far.
3GB of 4G data, unlimited minutes/calls, O2 perks and free delivery.
If you're not a fan of the phone then fair enough, but I've been dying for a decent android phone with a physical keyboard, and this is it!
If you can find it cheaper, with the same or more data then let me know, but this equates to £10 per month for the contract if you deduct the phone price.
Updated Code: TENOFF10 gives £10 off the up-front price, bringing it down to £40.
£10 quidco is also possible, taking it down to £774 or less than £9 per month for the contract
*** Update ***
Spoke to O2, who confirmed the contracted data allowance can be increased mid-contract without much hassle and fairly cheaply. Upgrading from 3GB to 5GB would add "less than £5" to the monthly bill.
(£3 per month according to this thread: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/iphone-6s-64gb-o2-4g-100-off-using-code-blacknov15-unlimited-calls-texts-3gb-data-2319260)

BlackBerry is THE only phone to never be hacked! their security is second to none, I realise they are not to everyones taste but that's an excellent track record none the less.

I think criticism of the keyboard ergonomics is unwarranted... With any mini-keyboard you need to use it for a couple of weeks to build the muscle memory to use it efficiently and effortlessly.

Just tried a demo (dummy model) in a CPW store today and I think it seems like this will be my next phone. I've missed the QWERTY wonders of my HP Pre and Palm 650. Yes it may be slower to type than some of the on screen keyboards but at least I can see where I'm going and still keep typing without making mistakes.
As others have said, I'm going to wait for a bit of a price slash before biting as I'd like to see it sub £30 and would allow my P8 contract to run out a little more before cancelling that. It's a shame you can't port a number out and keep the old sim running.

Please, if anyone can find it cheaper, let me know otherwise I'll be ordering!
The only other option I found with decent internet was on EE with 5GB for £37.50 with £10 up front (£50 cheaper than Carphone Warehouse) which is £910 total or <£15 per month for the contract when you take off the phone price.

You could, but you'd pay more, it wouldn't be the famous blackberry keyboard or double as a trackpad, you'd lose half the screen and have to carry the keyboard around separately... You also wouldn't get the hardened Linux kernel and promise of monthly security updates.

Going to buy this device outright after the first big price drop as I have a sim only contract. Good price for what it is though! Have some heat!

I'm on sim only too, but it's more than £9 per month and 3G only!

No fan of BlackBerry before this handset, but I think it's a great device. The keyboard as a track pad is a work of genius. Very nice handset.

What a name 'Priv' no wonder it's going down hill.

you know that it stands for 'privacy'? its got security built in to the software.
i'm a BlackBerry fan and have the z10, loving it. tempted by this but as i'm still on contract, looking at handset only deals

As opposed to 'One' ( by OnePlus or HTC) S6, 6S, Z5 or G4? I wouldn't say Priv was a brilliant name ( the code name was Venice, a much better name) but I wouldn't say naming was a strong point of any of the current flagships?
