John Chen said last week that the BlackBerry Priv is getting a price cut in February

One of the phones that we expect to see unveiled around this time is the Samsung Galaxy S7. Samsung is holding an Unpacked event on February 21st, the day before MWC opens, and the company's new flagship will most likely be introduced at that time.
"Good question. So we have a model obviously, of pricing. I think the pricing will hold pretty strong for the next quarter in Q4. We already have seen some of the POs coming in. Especially in new introductions, margin is usually pretty strong. But I'm not -- but you all know the market very well.
In about Mobile World Congress time, we will see introduction of new technology from our competitors. We have maybe a midlife kicker coming in around that time, but I expect ourselves to have to reduce our price to be competitive.
We do have some unique features at PRIV, as being well-received especially in the security world, in the privacy world. But we obviously won't fool ourselves to expect that they will continue to maintain the high prices that we could get today."-John Chen, CEO, BlackBerry

If the high price of the BlackBerry Priv is stopping you from purchasing the handset, be patient. It does appear that a price cut will be taking place in a couple of months.
Thanks for the tip!
