Since the Blackberry Passport crushes the i-phone 6 toy. Sorry the truth hurts. Check Phone Dog,Passport has beaten the I-Phone everyday for the last 6 months with the consumer vote.. Now at an even better price.

BB OS + backend security notwithstanding they can only fool some die hard fans but not all of them half the time.
They can do way better at OS + apps but they figured that qwerty alone can kill off the enterprise BYOD onslaught that brings in iPhones and Androids to the workplace. "Security" down the road is just a matter of time for rivals to catch up.

Do you think one could get a decent carrier deal in Australia at that time without being ripped off by Telstra. Absolutely not. The Classic for example was the same deal as the Iphone 6, and more expensive than the S5. OK the Z30 is no where to be seen in Australia and reliable online retailers are an issue. Frankly I used a Z30 before when overseas, and I do find it a better overall experience than the bloated Android experience of the S5, though the camera is excellent. I want the same business experience in speed and convenience as a BB, and the S5 whilst great hardware, it is just not the same. I will go back to the BB when the money situation improves. Android is basically a gaming platform in my view, not a serious business tool. The email clients are not as good as BB, and even simple things like copy and paste is a nightmare to do quickly. Security is the other serious problem.

LOL, look at the BB marketing team trying to convince people BB phones are better than iPhone. Maybe they should try convince Window phone user first; start small you know. Window only have like 30 times more app than BB so some user might be fooled to get a BB.

Carriers promote phones that provide them the highest margin (high sell price for phone that cost them the least). Android and iPhone are really low cost/cheap phones that can be sold to the lemmings at higher prices.
Majority use less than 10 apps. When it comes down to it, majority all use a common subset of 5 or less. Having thousands of apps available makes people feel good about their selection but in the end is meaningless.

And these people who say that Blackberry is expensive are talking crap. You can get Blackberry Z30 for just $229! You cant get better phone with better specs for less money! It has HD screen, 2 GB RAM, 1.7 GHZ dual core processor, it works faster than Android with quad cores because it has superior OS. It has better hardware specs than your precious iphone 6. It has faster processor, 2 times more RAM, it has sd card slot, which iPhone 6 does not have, bigger screen and it has almost 2 times stronger battery. And still people buy overpriced iphone 6 which costs almost 3 times more than Blackberry Z30!

Will you blackberry team please release a passport like
specifications on a z10 body with a larger 5 inch display
and atleast full hd resolution. Of course with a nice
removable battery that will last a day of heavy usage.
That would be great I assure you! Because I love my z10
a lot but the update to 10.3.1 just kill my buddy. Model
Slt100-1. Blackberry listen to this, because we want the
best of both worlds. Come on guys. We still count on
you, the business world needs you.

Anonymous, 19 Apr 2015Really?? Ever seen the iPhone 6?? People like you complain ... morePeople keep complaining about BlackBerry's why they are still making phones. The thing is you don't know nothing about BlackBerry and used iPhone so you think there is no better phone than that. Try it than you will understand what BlackBerry is. Don't just complain about it without even using the device

I have Blackberry Z30 and it was best phone I had ever - I have it for more than year. I will get Blackberry Passport. Blackberry produces best quality devices, which does not scratch , does not break - and Blackberry OS is fastest OS on market.

Think is the best phone I've ever owned. Most comments come from people who are not or have not been using BlackBerry OS 10. Listen to those, who actually use BlackBerry. But remember a BlackBerry is a tool not a toy.
