FijiBB, I have heard of iPhone users being labeled as many things, including iSheeps and iDiots, but calling them pedophiles, criminals, and terrorists is kinda harsh.

Meh

Passport'n stuff all day long.

[Mr BBRY]

This just in from Amazon. I will be a Passport owner as of 10/16! Having placed my order 3 weeks ago, I'd imagine I'm somewhere near the first in line since the initial Amazon stock sellout. Aside from my selfish excitement, it's a good indicator on the lead times involved with replenishing the distribution channels. It will be interesting to see how quickly the next round will sell out.. plus the carrier sales. With positive reviews pouring in, I'm thinking it won't be long before we hear good news on number of Passports sold through. Cheers!

From the thread "sad situation in singapore"

"

My condolences to you and your family, that is so sad I am praying for all citizens of Singapore.
No human should have to buy any iphone out of desperation. Can somebody start a Facebook support page for you and all others who have been affected by the lack of PP inventory in Singapore?
We will mention your story at Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow and call for prayers and help from across Canada!! God Bless!

Sorry but i do not believe that IOS 8 encryption is beyond hackers or the law enforcement.

... and iOS 8 security gets compromised in 3, 2, 1....

"Conclusion
I was going to skip testing out the BlackBerry Passport, but my curiosity got the best of me and I am thankful that it did. The BlackBerry 10 OS has always interested me with the fantastic BlackBerry Hub, swiping interface, and app expansion through Android.

Unlike other smartphone operating systems, BlackBerry continues to focus on communications and using your device to be productive. Most of the people working for government agencies I work with as a professional engineer use BlackBerry devices and the Passport gives them the ability to leave the iPhone behind and slap one smartphone on their belt.

BlackBerry took a gamble with the Passport, but going back to their QWERTY roots and innovating is what I think they needed to generate excitement for BlackBerry again. It is probably a niche market for the Passport, but I think it was the best option for them and may turn out to be the device that makes people ask for a new BlackBerry at work.

Contributor's rating: 9.5 out of 10"

Nice read, thanks.

I am actually enjoying the 'guy with the new BlackBerry' spotlight in the meantime though.
Now I get the idea of what celebs go through.

Lol.

BlackBerry Passport: More Strong Reviews, (and Converts, too!) | Inside BlackBerry

Wow, so many great reviews, strong demand, and zero competition for this form factor. This must be a divine situation for a company.
They 'only' need to fix the supply chain asap:

Passport's unique form factor and square display may result in longer manufacturing cycle times

OT: Ten reasons why you?ll love the BlackBerry Passport - Hindustan Times

2. BlackBerry Blend
This is the highlight of the software’s prowess. Blend is a platform that enables access to emails, messages, files etc. from your Passport to a PC, Mac or a tablet. You just need a Blend platform for the respective OS - Windows or Mac, and you can easily access it with the help of Mobile network or Wi-Fi. Imagine you accessing files on different devices and editing them at the same time without any security threat, thanks to BlackBerry’s secured networks. Only if JLaw and Kate Upton knew about it!

I might add that Blend almost eliminates the need for cloud storage. Your phone becomes the cloud

Sorry if this has been posted before. PP is ranked #4. On Amazon Germany its #2
