BlackBerry Passport launched

[Tahir Ally]

I read "Blackberry bend"... so, how does the blackberry fair on the bend test?

It won't bend as easy like the other devices because it has a stainless steel frame.

NOT PLASTIC or ALUMINIUM.

Not a really a mind blowing feature, and definitely not enough to make me even consider getting such a fugly device.

BlackBerry Blend will be available to all BlackBerry10 devices once it receives the 10.3.1 OS update.

Currently it's only available for the BlackBerry Passport and the Porsche Design BlackBerry P9883.

now that looks much better... if it had dual sim I'd be sold on that idea.

Makes no difference that its available on all Blackberry devices... they're all horrible.

I've played to BB10 OS and its RUBBISH in my opinion.

Yes

Plus BlackBerry Blend :

BlackBerry Blend seamlessly brings messaging and content from your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer and tablet.

NO wire.NO saving to a CLOUD.NO transferring info.

BLACKBERRY BLEND SECURITY :

1.Nothing in Blend is left on the computer or tablet upon logout
2.Everything in Blend is powered by your BlackBerry Smartphone
3.BlackBerry Blend allows the IT Administrator to set parameters for Blend that match their security guidelines so the user then can choose how they work across their devices within those bounds

This is for individuals and business customers.

So basically a ripoff of Google's core services then. Good job, Blackberry.

Whatever the Passport does well, the inescapable fact is that it's still a BlackBerry 10 handset. While the platform does certain things well and has its die-hard adherents, it's miles behind iOS, Android, or Windows Phone in terms of hardware selection and app ecosystem. Does that make the Passport a bad phone? Not necessarily. Does it render it mostly irrelevant right out of the gate? Yeah, probably.

I'm interested if it "bends" like the iPhone 6

For some reason I do not mind this thing's looks but would have to see it in real life. Only thing is BB is dead already i don't see this changing much in the market
