It looks like BlackBerry just can't hop off the bad news train this week. Just yesterday we heard from AT&T that the Blackberry Priv hasn't sold very well, and now today it looks like T-Mobile has stopped selling the device altogether.
If you head over to the devices page on T-Mobile's site you will notice that the Priv is nowhere to be found. T-Mobile, unlike AT&T yesterday, hasn't given us any word on how the device has fared sales wise on its network, but the smart money is betting that it has not. This sudden pulling of the device comes just 5 short months after the Priv launched on T-Mobile. If you take a look at all the devices T-Mobile has for sale you'll notice they have many devices, such as the LG G4 or HTC One M9, which have been for sale for well over a year now. This certainly isn't great news for the struggling phone maker.
If you are someone who still wishes to purchase the Priv though, don't fret! It looks like this device, unlocked, is still for sale from retailers like Amazon, and for a significantly lower price then the $699 the phone went for at launch.

If this phone launched at $400-500, then it would’ve done really well I think. That price is not worth it considering other options.
I couldn’t agree more. Now that you can get it for under $400 from a lot of places a roommate of mine, who really missed their BlackBerry from yesteryear, actually just bought it and is in love with the device. It wasn’t a bad device they just needed the price point to be better.
