The Priv, BlackBerry's latest smartphone, features a keyboard that slides out and runs Android. It's BlackBerry's last ditch attempt to save the company from the Android-Apple onslaught, and now, it's finally available for pre-order.

If you're in the US, Canada or the UK, you can pre-order the Priv on BlackBerry's official website or your mobile carrier. The phone costs $699 in the US, $899 in Canada and £559 in the UK. That pricing is in iPhone territory, which makes us wonder why BlackBerry, which is struggling to sell phones, didn't price it lower.
