BlackBerry Passport review: Ticket to ride

15 October 2014
Canadian manufacturer BlackBerry looks to bring its no-nonsense smartphone approach in a form factor that is…unusual, to say the least. It’s a company that's no stranger lately to being in the red for quarters on end and the Passport is yet another attempt by...

    Neutral, 15 Oct 2014Nothing wrong with BB sticking to their guns with a qwerty ... moreSamsung has not brainwashed anyone lol. They just create insantly amazing products with top of the line specs etc. If by advertising there product in a mass way you call that brainwashing....then I shouldnt have gotten a degree in business advertising

            they wanted the passport to sport a squareish display. ok. 1:1 ?? it's like a bad joke. a 4:3 screen could make one-handed use a lot easier while maintaining the square profile.

              This is supposed to be the size of a Canadian passport, so I help my passport in hand and found I would never be comfortable using it as a phone. It's very awkward to hold (and I have above average size hands) and looks dumb. It's great for texting, so those who use their cell phones mainly for that may like it, but I don't and I have, therefore, no use for a phone with such awkward proportions.

                    This phone is great, with great responsiveness and build quality.

                    They should make one with exact same design, but with more conventional size ie: a slightly less wide version, which will look great in my opinion.

                      Anonymous, 15 Oct 2014What's the deal with one handed use aswell. Don't most peop... moreBecause in the other hand you might have an umbrella, dog leash, shopping bag, cigarette, coffee, someone's hand (some people have children), gun, beer, hot dog, etc, etc. Having said that, I still like this phone.

                        This looks like a real good package. Fresh design, good specs, and good battery. Looking forward to trying this at a store ASAP.

                          non user-replaceable battery?
                          some people never learn...

                            Great phone, BlackBerry Passport is how a BlackBerry should be. Glad there is a new BB device on the market again for some differentation.

                                    this is the phone that everybody will love and praise... but no one will buy and it will make more loss to the producer... though he will receive encouragements and all kind of "likes".
                                    PS. I love this phone ;)

                                        Good luck to BB with this one. They are going to need it.

                                        Cool device, but just too revolutionary to my taste.
