The BlackBerry Passport with a square 4.5-inch screen and physical keyboard will be priced at $599 without a contract

I don't think this will sell well. Think of the competition at that price bracket.

Physical keyboard? why?

The BlackBerry Z3 was launched in May and it is sell out in every region it was launched.
If it didn't do well ,Foxcon wouldn't have launched it in other markets.
