BlackBerry Priv makes appearance on Bell brochure; check out the curved edge screen in action

The BlackBerry Priv appears ready for prime time in Canada. In a brochure from Bell, the Canadian carrier promotes the expansion of its LTE-A service into Atlantic Canada. The Priv appears in good company, standing next to a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, and an Apple iPhone. This could be another sign that we should expect to see the Android flavored slider unveiled soon.

In addition, one of our loyal readers was able to get his hands on a working Priv, and sent us a photo showing how the  battery indicator can be displayed on the 5.4-inch curved edge screen. Earlier speculation had the phone launching in November, just in time for the holiday shopping season that begins right after Thanksgiving.

Carphone Warehouse has the phone arriving on November 6th, but in the U.S. it could be touching down on a later date. When the BlackBerry Z10 brought the new BB10 OS with it back in 2013, the phone launched first in the U.K. and Canada before hitting the U.S. We could see the same pattern with the Priv.
