I just purchased this device, after looking at it for several months. I must say, that the amount of features that this phone possesses is extremely impressive. The battery life span is painfully short, however, and leaves you with charging concerns throughout the day. The camera takes crystal clear photos...which i like! the main downside to this phone, aside from the battery issue, is it's clunky size and weight. I will be honest...as much as I love all of the features that this phone offers, I am pondering switching to a smaller (and lighter) phone. We'll see! Overall, this is a very solid performing (but slightly heavy) phone.

in my opinion this is the best blackberry yet, because of the ever growing screen size and the quest for battery life that goes along with it, it does have the wide factor while still shorter that most phones on market to date. Battery life is well into two days of moderate use and well it has good performance, i keep it minimal so i get the best out of it. Con: the phone in a fairness is the width if i could say it is. if you have slim fitted clothes its not gonna fit into your pockets which may be a problem however browsing or use without have to pan left or right on screen is something i enjoy. if you don't mind sacrificing android play-store to use the BB 10 OS. However you will also be just fine, its not going to have the wide scope of apps but you will be just fine if your willing to compromise. People usually have two phones these days so its not a big issue. Security is great and flexible plus customization is excellent even. Start up and reboot is slower that on most devices but i guess that not a issue to me since its not a race anyway. It has a nice rubber coating on back which makes it feel great in hand and the keyboard blew me away since my last blackberry was a torch (lol) The OS seems to be going out of style as they say so don't buy this phone and want to keep up with the android trending market. The screen seems to be nano coated so it is extremely smooth and it supports micro SD (256 max) and nano sim if you guys were wondering. But the phone is to keep you productive and effecient which the base app do provide (not in any flashy aftermarket app) but do so in all simplicity. Just wish they had the limitless customized led lighting like a few generations ago. But those are some of the strong and weak points about this mobile which none really are perfect but i love this one, hope other buyers may find this useful from a buyer and owner standpoint in helping them figure out if a BB passport will be suited for them.Read full review

This phone has turned-out to be much better than I was expecting. I have always preferred having a hardware keyboard, but after the Droid 4, there wasn't anything very good in the Android world so I decided to give BlackBerry a chance. The hardware is great, very solidly built, with a nice screen. The messaging hub which integrates text messages, notifications, email, etc is very nice and the browser works so well with mobile sites I don't really miss having native apps for most things. I'm actually starting to prefer not having those apps always going after my contacts and taking-up all the memory on my phone. This phone has made me a BlackBerry fan.

This is my second Passport. The OS 10 operating systerm, while devoid of some of the familiar Android Apps, is still one of the best for business, or perhaps the best. It was not built for people playing Crazy Birds or whatever, it was built for doing business and that it does in spades, Email is perfection, calls are clear and the OS 10 has a feature that no other operating system has. If you set up a Contact, and in the NOTES section of it you put in peoples' names, address and phone/email address, the phone number is hot, meaning that if you touch it, the phone rings or an email comes up. For example, if you do busines with ABC company and have six contacts there, you don't need a contact for each of them. You set up the contact as ABC then go to Notes and type in the individuals at that company which whom you deal, their phone number and email and from then on, when you want to call one of them, you simply touch their name in the Notes section of the ABC contact. Very helpful for not having to look up their separate number. Love the phone and the OS.Read full review

I had been looking for a phone with a good physical keyboard and there aren't many options available with this feature nowadays. After conducting multiple comparisons on different phone review websites I found that this model, though released on store shelves in 2014, was still one of the most versatile and intriguing models to have a physical keyboard. I was skeptical about the BlackBerry Priv because I read that the physical keyboard has a touch cursor integrated into the keyboard. I didn't realize that my Passport does too. It's able to be switched off but it actually is more convenient and easy to use than I had expected. So far I'm loving this phone and have received several comments and inquiries from people when I take it out, due to its large rectangular design and wide screen. The form factor is still fairly slim to have such a pleasingly large screen size. I'm impressed by the self-evident enhanced security features, plus all of the little extras that BlackBerry is known for concordant to its upstanding reputation. I definitely recommend this model for anyone who uses messaging often, including push email and multiple accounts. One word of advice is that the app store is not bounding with variety. This device is more useful for its functionality, security and technical options.Read full review
