The the BlackBerry Priv is here and sporting something we haven't seen in a while on an Android phone: a physical keyboard. It's old school, sure, but there are some reasons that aren't immediately obvious for why using a physical keyboard makes sense for many — maybe even you.

Google Hangouts' presence and read confirmations make it the best group messaging app available today. Heading to Las Vegas earlier this month for CES 2014, the Mobile Nations team had a bit of war in deciding what group messaging platform to use for the week. With 22 people on the ground from the Mobile Nations team (and 10 more from GeekBeat), that's a lot of people — with very...
