Does anyone owns the 4 passport models just for collection sake?

- Black "OG", white, red, AT&T version, Gold Plated OG, the Passport SE and maybe that one that sold on Craigslist that was the SE running Android.
7 possible variants by my count...Dunt Dunt Dunt likes this.11-03-16 07:30 AMLike 1 -
- How so? Seems the least valuable as its got a static version of android that will never see an update and is not supported by Blackberry or Google. Any bugs (I'm sure there are many) will never be fixed. No autoloaders even to reinstall the software if need be.11-03-16 08:07 AMLike 0
- I think it actually sold for somewhere around $200 to $250 CAD. The most valuable would definitely be one of the official gold plated ones and I believe they were all numbered with _ of 200 to show they were of a very limited run (correct me if I'm wrong).11-03-16 08:12 AMLike 0

- Collectors look for rarity and this one is definitely the rarest. If you had one you could probably easily get a thousand if not more for it.

I can say that from a privacy point of view android 4 is better than android 6. Have you ever seen an app that has been updated tons? Bigger footprint, more background analytics, bigger ads to cover their backend etc. All Google has been focused on in recent android updates apart from the trivial gui changes is baking hardcoded analytics and embedding services into the os and simpletons are swallowing it up thinking they're getting better services and security. Android 4.3 was the cleanest os upto android 5.

Android 4.3 was a great OS back in 2012.... but this is 2016.
But the "value" of an item to a collector, really doesn't matter if it was Android 4.3 or Android 7.0.... it that it is a rare BlackBerry.11-03-16 10:06 AMLike 0 - What people don't realize is that for some reason the law of diminishing marginal productivity has been in place and android so far has reached its tipping point that there is a net negative effect with the new versions been put out. You lose ten times what you think you gain. But I'm guessing the word "Nougat" sounds cool so it's the next big thing that everyone must have.

True OG BlackBerry fanboys/girls would know what the 8th one is
#qwerty #glassweave #darkhorse11-03-16 11:16 AMLike 0 - They are numbered SQW100-1/2/3/4, although if you found a -2 I (and anyone who ever wanted a Verizon Passport) would like to see it.11-03-16 11:34 AMLike 0

- Hi BirdDog, I collect Blackberry phones and Old Nokia ones, and Passport is my favourite Blackberry, and the one which sadly will not grace my collection cabinets will be the official Gold plated edition as only 50 were made and inscribed one of 50 etc, and doubt if one is ever offered for sale, I would not sell it.11-04-16 09:04 AMLike 0
