BlackBerry Ltd Passport Generating Excitement Among Consumers

The spec list these guys have gathered is rather interesting.

3.7mpx front camera and unknown back facing.

Also says its going to be the 801 snapdragon rather than the 800.

Good to know the buzz is happening.

Differentiate or Die

Yes it is. I really want to see one in person though

I don't buy this, since we've heard from more confident sources that the Passport will have a 13MP main camera and the Snapdragon 800 SoC.

The 801 would be great, but even the 800 is unusually current for a BlackBerry.

Ive read some reviews online there isn't much differentiation between the 800 and 801, and even the 805, which is arguably slightly beefier, has nothing to signify the newer chip to be a must have, unless a you want to use the phone as a console level gaming device. I guess im okay either way.

To me the 3.7mpx front facing camera is a mystery, I cant find a single device which uses that sensor. All I could find is either 2.1mpx or 5mpx and nothing in between.

The 13mpx rear facer is probably a good bet to be true. Even the latest LG G3 uses a 13mpx rear facer. Hope 10.3's camera app is up to scratch.

Differentiate or Die
