My daily work drive. Awesome device.Typing experience amazing. Thanks BlackBerry to invent a such machinery. Love it. I think BlackBerry 10 is advance OS. But it's sad BlackBerry could not able to bring light on it due to poor marketing. As a device Passport has no match. For people apps gap is an issue but for me Passport is a communication tool. Work done productive way and keep thing secured. I don't want to be a slave of my phone, I want it to be my slave.
this phone is really beautiful.... but.... reallllyyyyy weak in software and camera.... the camera doesnt have a good focus it only has focus for 2 seconds and most of photos i take are really bad... about android of it.... i couldnt use a regular apps like google translate or instagram or viber in it.... too much force closes... i cant update my android apps cause im afraid of force closes my instagram or google translate version in device is one of the first versions i dont say that it couldnt open even the first version of apps like shazam .... its really boring ....
I am disappointed with the above review and I do not think that the author is unbiased in his opinion and in his 7.5 rating!
The following reasons made me personally choose the Blackberry Passport over an iPhone 6 in 2016:
(1) Security: Apple and Android are really late in the game and several years behind BlackBerry! Remember in 2014 (!) when Sony was hacked that the Sony executives grabbed old BlackBerry phones to Sony’s Rescue!
(2) A really long battery life, up to 1 ½ days with extreme usage (calls, e-mails, browsing web, streaming Netflix etc).
(3) Screen real-estate, high resolution, and 1:1 layout
(4) Exceptinal construction and use of Gorilla Glass 3 protective covering (no bending of phones ever like the iPhone 6! The BlackBerry Passport was found to be exceptional robust in drop tests)!
(5) Telephone call capabilities and associated antenna enhancements, including stereo audio output and 4 mics for excellent audio pickup and noise cancellation, especially for conference calls on speakerphone, unreached by other smartphone companies
(5) E-mail processing, organization, and handling of attachments in the Hub has not been beaten yet.
(6) The keyboard design with integrated on-screen extra rows of keys that are actually convenient to use, and the ability to use the entire surface of the keyboard to scroll through documents and web pages, rather than running your finger across the display.
(7) Customizable keyboard shortcuts for fast performances!
(8) Easy access over PC and ability to access phone and use it as a hard drive!
(9) BB 10 Operating system functionality, organization, and ability to run both Blackberry World and Android apps that work!
(10) Setting up different user profiles and alert modes (ring, vibrate, LED, and silent) for calls, emails and messages. This is state of the art phone and software design!
(11) Finally, I am everyday again impressed with the multi-color LED capabilities for message and call alerting without opening my phone or need to go into the hub!
And much, much more..!
