I switched from an OG to the SE and honestly don't feel it was a bad decision at all. The OG is a premium device which really feels good on hands but the SE tops everything. Also the keyboard is so much better imo and I'm currently typing on it
Solution : Get both

Also, with a little re-engineering, a BlackBerry Passport 2, could even be supreme:

Dual Sims
Full frequency bands
128 gb on board Memory
Latest Cpu and video chips
Slightly larger battery
Better camera
All metal frame

A winner for certain.

What are the various SE purchase options? As far as I can see they are only available direct from BlackBerry.

Posted with a Passport for Productivity

OMG - my Passport arrives on Friday - sing HALLELUJAH!!!!

I'm so excited about this!!!! I have coveted a Passport since they were announced.

I caved in last fall and bought a white one, allegedly new with opened box, but it arrived DOA and the battery symbol, when I finally got it to show a battery symbol (omg, the frustration and agony!) indicated that the battery was the problem. I have to give credit to the seller - they offered to pay to get it fixed and return it to me, but I declined. They were great - full refund, no hassle, we parted on friendly terms... BUT I was spooked. If you can't trust merchandise offered by a seller with near perfect feedback from more than 2,000 sales, who can you trust? That was in early October 2015. I decided to cool my jets - already in total overwhelm due to endless deadlines and way too much stress. Then, a week or so ago, ATT texted me a heads up (horse lingo for PAY ATTENTION!) - my beloved second phone, my Bold 9900 would no longer be supported and wouldn't work after December 2016. WTF?????? you gotta be kidding me!!!! I love that phone, but that text provided the "stick and spur" (horse lingo for "make greater effort") and I started shopping again.

Well, I went online to ebay - lots of Passports, but no bargains and few offered by highly rated sellers. I looked at black and red - wasn't interested in white (detested iPh is white - bad emotional association), the red PPs are at premo prices - way over retail! - and some SE were okay, but questionable feedback for sellers.

On Monday evening of this week, I ran an internet search for Blackberry Passport and what came up was Blackberry's spring sale - OMG!!! black and white Passports for $399 and change - and SEs for $439.20. I don't mind the shipping, but the sales tax jacked up the amount and I didn't care...

I started looking for reviews of the Silver Edition - and this thread, of course, came up very close to the front. I read many reviews, debated argued with my somewhat saner self, and came to the conclusion that a BNIB Passport with 30-day guarantee from BB itself ON SALE was a good idea. The options were to get some piece of junk from Sprint - and I already have the POS 4s that I can use into the ground and then junk it. It owes me nothing - a special Christmas promotion in 2012 (bye-bye VZW!!!).

I wanted to pay with real money and asked one of my publishers to advance part of my pay for a huge story I deliver in early June. I kicked in the balance & paid for it on paypal - all this happened on Tuesday evening - I'M DELIRIOUS WITH JOY!!!!!!

My RR SE arrives late Friday afternoon - at the business location of that publisher where there will be another unboxing - I've written for HC for nearly 20 years - everyone who watched the unboxlng were almost as disappointed as I was when the white PP would not turn on. They thought it was lovely, but I had a feeling that the verdict would be DOA.

I CAN'T WAIT TO UNBOX THE SILVER EDITION - my very own Rolls Royce of smart phones!!!

So much waiting and wishing for months and months - I joined Crackberry in October 2014 - about the time that I ended up buying that wonderful gently used Bold 9900 - in fact, it was because of advice on CB that I bought the 9900. Smartest move I ever made, phone-wise - but honestly, I have suffered greatly from envying everyone their Passports and now I'm about to become the happiest horsey geek on the face of the earth!!!!!

It will be a learning curve - I wasn't crazy about the Q10 (which will be donated to a women's shelter, by the way, because Sprint no longer sells the sim card for it, but it will dial 911 on wireless). My verdict: the Q10 had a bigger screen but it was NOT better than the 9900. I will keep the 9900 for auld lang syne even though we were together for such a short time...

So, that's my take on the Silver Edition - and thanks to OP and everyone who chimed in - I think I will be very very happy with my Passport - I mean, better than diamonds IMHO - here's to a long battery life and happy days of digital productivity!!!

PS any tips, hints, etc., please let me know! - I would love to hear from you!

PS
Anyone have any suggestions whether I should invest in the $4.95/month 2-year Passport support for repairs etc?

[Rallyfia]

Amen to that! =)

So the SE represents the Phantom which is the top tier RR, I have an OG Passport, am I cruising in a Ghost?!

[mrlahjr]

After receiving mine two days ago I agree. The SE is the Rolls Royce of all smart phones.

This thought came across my mind when reading an article on the Rolls Royce "Dawn", the there called "finest cabriolet" in the world, a few minutes ago.

Both devices can be characterized by the following marks:

- Elegant in shape
- Strong in power
- British-like reluctance
- Eye catcher and head turner
- A bit clumsy

No wonder British like the Passport Silver Edition so much. All ten reviewers at Amazon/UK gave full five stars. You might think, ten reviewers aren't that many, but Rolls Royces on England's streets aren't either.

I love the SE. Excellent and nice phone. Maybe the best ever released by BlackBerry

Its design is very close to perfection. I'm not sure I'll ever have a better looking phone ♡

You can fix your screen lift by yourself. I also did it.

Which is something that you'll never experience/perform on an actual Rolls Royce automobile.
Imagine pushing down or krazy gluing the car's windshield because it lifted. That would kill Rolls Royce's reputation and business.

I loved the design of the iPhone 4. The screen was secured via tension on the band tightened by two screws at the bottom. I think.

One of them was that way, and it was brilliant. The Passport SE is slapdash.

I have loved this phone since receiving this phone in January. Even to this day I admire the craftsmanship and design of this beautiful phone. Great job Blackberry.

[nabollocks]

I like to think of my PPSE as a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. Strong, powerful, sexy, stylish and rare as hens teeth.

It is a definite standout of the current BlackBerry phones. Does anyone know who makes great fitting cases for it?

Does your Passport have that dreaded screen lifting issue too?
