After parting ways in their licensing agreement back in 2014, it looks like T-Mobile and BlackBerry could be getting back together to launch the BlackBerry Priv. It has been rumored that T-Mobile could be in talks to launch the device and now thanks to a photo obtained by PhoneArena, it looks we won’t have to wait much longer.
T-Mobile had previously confirmed that they were in talks with BlackBerry but nothing had been confirmed yet. However according to the photo from PhoneArena, sent in by one of their readers, it shows an allege date set for the 26th of January. This means that in less than a month’s time, T-Mobile customers can get their hands on the phone if they choose to.
The date also makes sense because right now AT&T is holding the exclusive for the BlackBerry Priv. However that exclusivity is said to end on the 20th of January so a launch on the 26th of January would make sense. T-Mobile might not be the only other carrier to offer the phone as the Priv was spotted at the FCC sporting Verizon’s bands.
No word on whether Sprint will end up carrying the phone as part of its portfolio too, but for now it looks like AT&T, T-Mobile, and maybe even Verizon could be your carrier of choice if you wanted to get the phone on a plan.
