BlackBerry Shows Off the Passport for Mobile Pros

Let Blackberry Die Already
For effs sake, there's no reason to buy this. No 'pro' is going to want to get anywhere near the terrible BB10 OS, nobody wants this awkward keyboard, and nobody wants to sell, support, or develop for these giant piles of crap.
Blackberry could have just stopped making phones and brought back its brand equity a few years down the road, but instead they're tarnishing the legacy churning out round after round of total crap.
Stop it.

Looks like another miss by BB
I'm not saying I want BlackBerry to fail but this form factor seems like a miss. I understand to step out and innovate but this device doesn't seem 1 hand user friendly. Very odd looking design concept. Good try BB!
whens the last time a blackberry has been a 1 hand device, they have full keyboards on them theres no way to use it with one hand
even with that i agree on most points there just dont see the phone seeling just because the look of it...looks horrib...

Trying to use the phone with only one hand is usually what causes people to drop the phone, so maybe that feature is overemphasized. It's a lot harder to drop a phone if you have to hold in both hands to be able to use it.

Honestly
The device looks great. I love how the screen fits all those large widgets. But the form factor isn't for me. I just can't do a square screen. Give me a 16:9 1080p screen. That's what my monitor at home is and that's what my TV is. That's what I like looking at. I have square monitors at work and they drive me nuts. They're only tolerable because there are three of them.
With that being said, this looks like a really solid device from BlackBerry with great specs. I'm sure the keyboard will surpass any on a mobile device, and that's something I really miss having on my phone is a physical keyboard. Give me a Note 3 (or 4) with a slide out keyboard and I'm sold.

Last week , I upgraded a Sprint customer to the LG Mach, i had never sold this device before, but when I looked at it I was surprised: it is an Android with a slideout keyboard, I was impressed, an Android with a physical keyboard would be great, but ...

reading the critics here
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 normal.
No bloatware either!!!! 😳
Between BB World and Amazon's App Store, you can find what apps you need. If you have an Amazon account, you can access Prime Music as well.

Well said.....
I wish I could afford to buy this....it would fix all of the problems I had with my Z10 which forced me to start using a Galaxy Note 3,
