Re: I think
A lot of this depends on where you live. If you live in metro areas, you have more options.
If you live in rural America, it's a different ball game. Where I am, VZW is king, ATT has SOME coverage here, but VZW is what works everywhere. Some people simply don;t have other options as Sprint and T-MO have zero rural coverage here.
Playing devil's advocate now....I can understand VZW in a way. They're not catering to the lowest common denominator. ...
Great play BBRY
Maybe now I can get content on my Z30 that I've been missing out on. So tired of having to go thru SNAP for apps that only work half the time due to the 2 way street of Apple and Google.
Waiting to see the response...
Re: reading the critics here
Phone's sold out on both ShopBlackberry.com and Amazon.com
Must be that miss everyone was talking about

The Passport is not made for the consumer. It's made for business people that want to get things done.
Wider screen for easier document reading (think spreadsheets).
Keyboard is touch-enabled and lets users brush their fingers over the keys to scroll through information on the screen (you don't actually press the keys)
The camera, battery life, and onboard memory are on par with the Note 3. Only instead of tall and needing to turn sideways, you just keep going as ...
Re: Oh good...
Ignore the paid trolls.
The BB 10 devices are quite nice.
You can get the white ones cheap from their websites. GSM only though.
Either way, BB10's web browser is the fastest mobile browser out there.

Article was dated in Feb of this year.
No you don't have a Instagram or Pinterest in BB World, but Amazon's app store can be downloaded over the air to fill that gap.
Try the Z10 or the Z30 sometime and ignore the naysayers that have ...
Re: BBM
Another example of Apple being Apple and trying to hijack the end user.
There's another fruit phone out there that's not quite so pushy :wink:
Re: finally
Ikr. Am loving the changes on my Q10.
Getting better
First we get 10.2 which gives a lot of UI changes and the ability to add the android apps stores. Now FB gets a little better.
And this is just the 1st build. Waiting to see what BB10 has in store.
Awesome update
Great update. UI changes are great so far. Direct download of Amazon's App Store fills in a number of holes. Sideloaded Snap for quite a bit more. Still no YouTube or Google Maps functionality due to no Google Play Services, but it bridges quite a gap.
And this is just the 1st build of BB10. Waiting to see what's down the road.
Re: Good for Microsoft
Glad to see BB and Microsoft are playing nice. Google has started to become "the new Apple" just a bit haven't they?
Also gotta say I'm glad BB World is getting better. Seeing as the US carriers won't release the 10.2 update (makes you wonder WHY......cough.....*Google*.... cough), getting top name services is a priority.
Windows Phone and BB10 are great alternatives to the 2 way street of Apple and Google. Windows is finally getting the big name apps. If ...
BB10 is a much different experience
Too many sales people are still hung up on the old BB devices. A LOT needs to be done to improve how BB10 is offered, and not just default to the 2 way street of Apple and Google.
BB needs to get real about the price point of their devices. Selling the Z10 at iPhone prices was lunacy. If BB wants to compete in the consumer market, it needs to get it's pricing in line w/ a consumer market. Getting ...
Re: No one is buying their phone's
BlackBerry has 2.8 billion in cash, has zero debt and just sold 80,000 BlackBerry 10 units to the US Dept of Defense. BBM going cross platform has been a total success and should have been done years ago, but was held back by shortsightedness BlackBerry 10 has an image problem in the US, not a financial problem. This is, of course, self inflicted. By continually marketing to the corporate image and not the kids like Apple and Google have, ...
