In terms of security, BlackBerry can't be matched. But the same can't be said about Android, which has a shaky track record when it comes to bugs and hacks.

The Priv will also receive monthly security updates from Google much quicker than most Android phones, as the updates will not need to go through your carrier's software-approval process.
