Eric,

@EricW_VZW you didn't answer the question. The latest update listed in your link was over 2 months ago. If Verizon knows it's important to get the latest updates then relase Marshmallow for the Priv.

I'll repeat the question myself. When will Marshmallow be availble for the Blackberry Priv? At least tell why it's taking so long.

Same no answer as always.This is a security issue. The Priv is not as secure without MM. Why is Verizon always last?

I opened an FCC complaint and the response was the same thing.  Same link and "we have the highest standards in testing updates because that is our pledge to our customers"  Standards so high that vital security patches never make it past testing.  I should have stayed on ATT.

Nougat, a.k.a. Android 7, should be available on August 22nd. I don't know if you can download/install it directly from Google or if you have to wait for the Verizon release.

Android 7.0 Nougat release date pegged at August 22nd

Your phone works fine. Stop clambering for a software update. BB was late to the party as it is. 9.9 times out ten there is no high class security that will be need for new software anyways.

How long should we wait?  Shouldn't we get updates in a timely manner? It's been almost two months since  the last security  updates.
