For whatever reason, BlackBerry keeps some pretty low-res images of the Passport on its online store, preventing us from getting a good look at the more uncommon white and Limited Edition red variants of the square-screened device. Thankfully, the folks over at CrackBerry seem to get that 2014 speeds allow the vast majority of internet users to browse photos that are >100 KB each, and staged a photo shoot with the aforementioned two models.
The BlackBerry KEYone will start shipping at the beginning of May. Is the new handset a major improvement compared to the 2014 Passport? I think not.
Interesting that blackberry is back but I forgot it was even a phone.. I will have to see for myself how it does but the fact that it's running droid seems like a step backwards not forward
"AT&T and BlackBerry have confirmed at CES 2015 in Las Vegas that the carrier would be selling the new BlackBerry Passport soon enough. Since that date hasn’t arrived yet, we are speculating that since we’re at the end of January, a February release by the American carrier would be appreciated and likely."
An AT&T exclusive BlackBerry Passport is in the works from the company, touting a refreshed design that won’t be as rigid as the original model. BlackBerry & AT&T decided to collaborate on a new BlackBerry Passport that will be found exclusively in AT&T stores, but if you are wondering whether customers of the carrier will get some special functions, better specs or new features, I have to disappoint you, since the companies said that the Passport will be basically the same, except for a few design elements.
One of the cleanest looking iteration of the latest BlackBerry handset.
The Passport and BB OS 10.3 are a rising threat for the competition, IMO. 2015 should be an eventful year.
Not a fault, but I think BlackBerry was clever to keep the Passport a two-handed variant. Them releasing a Curve successor, the Classic, makes for an effective market research. Figure out which form is best.
Speaking of which I hope they chisel out the Classic's kinks and that price down some. It is a very interesting phone as well... I just want a user replaceable battery.
