OT: Blackberry Passport full review | The Indian Express

[FijiBB]

amazon.co.uk - sold out
BTW: why it is under "Computers & Accessories->Networking Devices->Mobile Internet Devices" and not "Phones"?

[Tinomane]

It's crazy the Passport is #2 on Amazons unlocked best seller list when it's sold out at $599 and the only in stock ones are at $850.

Two things, unrelated.

One, my contact that used to work for BBRY, who still has contacts from within, is reporting that the Passport has not yet been made available to employees through the employee purchase program (yes I am trying to get my passport through that program!)

Two, my contact from Shared services Canada, is reporting, when I asked about whether or not the Passport be allowed in GoC, that there is an awful lot of confusion in between BES versions to go with, what phones to buy and so on. He reported that they no longer want to buy BBOS, and that BB10 would be the choice from there on end.

Rogers offered the Q10 for the same price of the q5, even though the q10 is far superior, and they went with, wait for it, the q5, as they feared the public perception of public servants having q10 might not be well received. Ok, maybe, but just explain that it was for the same price, Canadians would understand !Aaarrgggh! Politics!!!!!!!

True, it's not yet available through the employee program.
But normally, the phones are not available to them in the first month after the launch. (that's what I've been told)

I'm being told it will very likely be even longer this time......not suprising

Further signs that they really have found a successful product. Now the question is how quickly they can ramp up supply.

I'm not criticizing the low initial supply; I think that was the right plan. Now we'll see if they had a plan B in case the device took off!

This is the technical picture of BlackBerry (BBRY) so far. I chose the weekly chart because we do care about the long term analysis of the stock. We can see that the 52 weeks (1 year) exponential moving average (red line), acts us a support level. For now, the price can�t break downwards that level and that is a good sign. I don�t like the heavy volume of the last two days though. If the moving average doesn�t hold, the next major support level is at $8.5 (support Line W1). In case of an upside move the resistance levels are at the previous picks (11.17 and 11.65).
I like BlackBerry and Chen�s strategy!!! I think that patience is all we need for now. Be patient and we will be rewarded�

Most companies don't have product available on the launch day. Product comes week or two later. I am lucky that passport was available on the morning of the announcement/launch day.
The early sold out of passport happened based on the full cash price. Not the carrier contracts.
Where apple have hold over the press, blackberry doesn't enjoy this luxury. Some of the reviewer who praised the passport, they first apologized to the iPhone users that please don't run away but I am gonna like this phone and at the end they said that they don't have to buy this. What a shame. But I can understand that these websites worried about retaliation.
Here is one example.

I hate the app. Never refreshes data properly. I always get errors so I always have to close and reopen the app to refresh the data....

I have this issue only when my connection is low quality. On pure EDGE it works so-so, on H+ I never had any issues. Maybe there is a timeout or something.

Weird. It works for me perfectly. How do you have your refresh settings set?

Works very well for me on my Z30, and has done so for quite a while now...

It never refreshes by itself and when I do it manually, I get error loading data.

Anyone concerned the delays replenishing out of stock passports will hurt sales? I also hope they don't over react and build too much inventory either. What are your thoughts and are you hearing anyone discuss this?

OT: Can they please order a run of passports compatible with VZW . I will gladly pay full price... I want one in black!

I heard that Verizon only allows their branded phones to be used on their network so an unlocked phone sold by BlackBerry would not work. Is this true?

The Sad thing is that it was written in Adobe Air and the developer has abandoned it (so I read). it works in 10.3 but won't work in 10.3.1. Kind of sad about that.

Posted via CB10

The phone needs to have the CDMA band for Verizon, which the PassPort does not have. My understanding is it has some 2G bands that are compatible, but what's the point

It doesn't seem to handle changes in connectivity very well. If I switch from network to wifi or vice versa, I find I have to close the app and reopen it.
