Amidst all the announcement happening at CES 2016, BlackBerry announced that it has started selling the Priv in Spain, the Netherlands and Italy. 

The handset can be purchased from BlackBerry’s online store, ShopBlackBerry, for €779 in all the above regions. The Priv is already available for purchase in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada.

The Priv is BlackBerry’s first Android smartphone that was released late last year. The handset sports a 5.4-inch curved Super AMOLED Quad HD display, a Snapdragon 808 chipset, 3GB RAM, and a 18MP shooter at the rear. The slide-out keyboard of the Priv makes it unique compared to other Android smartphones out there.

The handset has done particularly well for BlackBerry, though its still early to say whether the Priv is a success for the company or not. Depending on the Priv’s success, BlackBerry might also release a mid-range Android smartphone later this year.
