No doubt the best phone in the market right now. Better specs than most phone and not to mention the price.
I have never owned a blackberry prior to this. I've owned a flip-phone and a Samsung Stratosphere.
Going from the stratosphere to this phone, the difference is immense.
The keyboard is more compact, but not too small. I love the fact that it's a touch keyboard. In terms of practicality, I don't know if I use it that much for scrolling. It's a little different not pressing the function key to throw down a comma, but the on screen keyboard does make up for it. Some have said it's annoying not being able to not look at your screen to type out things, since you can't really predict what's going to pop up on the screen. The thing that I've found the most useful is the slide left to delete. I had no idea how practical that can really be when you need to delete a few words. When I used my iPad after only a few days of this phone, I found myself trying to slide on the virtual keyboard to delete mistakes. Huge, huge factor of desirability for me now is that slide to delete feature.
The screen is gorgeous. I'm now adjusted to the size and shape of the screen, and honestly can't imagine going back. I hardly watch videos on the device, so the square shape hasn't bothered me at all. As for webpages or viewing files, it's a huge improvement over the wide view or the smashed together view offered by my old phone with the rectangular screen.
The phone runs extremely fast. It runs extremely smooth. I get so used to sliding left or right, or sliding up to get back the home page. I'd like to say that that beats having to physically press a button. Of course, to each his own, but since my finger is already pretty much on the screen, it's easier than having to go down lower to press a button to return home. That's just me.
The battery life is fantastic. It's not as insane as I was anticipating, with 30+ hrs of hard use, but seeing as I've been using it with full brightness, with wifi on, with several apps running, it's held out its own very well. At the end of the day, I usually drop 50 to 70%.
Addictive, touch-enabled keyboard, outstanding display, battery life not seen on modern smartphones, great camera, BlackBerry World, Amazon App Store, can quickly and easily side-load Snap(Google Play), the Hub, Best In World security - this is a productivity beast! Not to mention, outstanding stereo sound and reception. It's like having an entire laptop in the palm of your hand. And it doesn't bend!
This phone yells out professional! The Blackberry Passport
is the new kid on the block.
Beats all one handed. Use it for a week before you know it you will realise why this is the best
I love the speakers, design, screen, and surprisingly despite everyone moaning the camera.
Even though due to my location i am unable to get paid apps, but i have my own way around this!
The Earphones that come in the box (which i broke by accident) are amazing!!!
Battery life can last me almost 2 days if I'm careful, i mostly charge it every night as it gets below 50% at the end of the day now, when i bought it the battery was better, but as it is with most phones the battery life can never stay the same unfortunately
HTC one m8 is the best phone yet by far. The live gallery is excellent, blinkfeed is great so you don't have to dig for news like a golfer, everything is right there on your homescreen. the design is impeccable, I love the front facing speakers. overall, I think that trumps the iPhone.
You won't carry any other tools to get things done your work professionally..
Everything's great with this phone, design, feel, quality, performance. The best phone I have ever had, and I've had them all.
Just wish they worked their software a bit more, has some bugs. Hope they'll get fixed with the new software update planned for early November.
Go for this one..
It's Hip to be Square & it's better to have a Tool of Productivity than a Toy for Gaming!

I have been using all sorts of phones over the years. The BlackBerry Passport is the most innovative phone I have used since the launch of the iPhone. It is extremely well built, solid, the operating system (BlackBerry 10) is rock solid and actually helps me to get things done. The best feature is the BlackBerry Hub which brings all of my communication together at one point. This again, adds to my productivity and helps me communicate more efficiently. In terms of apps, there is BlackBerry World which has great apps, but also the Amazon Appstore with hundreds of thousands of Android apps which all seem to run fine on the Passport. All in all, it is the best device I have ever used and definitely the best smartphone BlackBerry has ever built.
This phone blows my mind
it's fast, accurate and has an amazing battery life!
I've been using an iphone6 plus for the last weeks and this definitely goes back to apple today.
Was a good time testing it but it's just nothing compared to the new BlackBerry Passport.
Some might complain about that it is to heavy but it come with the best battery you can get out there.
I've been using it together with the iphone6 plus for the last days and the iphone6 never lasted a day.
Also the memory of the iphone is s*** - 1GB vs 3GB that means iphone stops all apps when not running and BlackBerry keeps them running all the time. I heard its called headless apps or running in the background - anyway there is no waiting time when getting back to an app
also the keyboard - amazing !
I could continue for hours comparing the iphone 6 plus and the Passport but the Passport is the true winner - ah and don't get me wrong I'm not an apple hater or so - I had 3 iphones and 4 ipads, I guess 4 MacBooks and cant wait for the new ipad in Oktober but right now it was time to move back to BlackBerry - a smartphone is a tool not a toy and the passport does exactly that.
Giving me all apps I need and a great communication tool as well.
Great battery life! Awesome display and really good camera. The keyboard is outrageous. Lots of apps. You can leave your laptop at home.
best speakers on a phone today . innovative keyboard. great battery life. premium design. better support for apps and flagship hardware
The battery needs to amp up a little more. The design is good except for the awkward protruding camera lens.
