Posted via CB1002-25-15 06:04 AMLike 0 - The Passport has so many new features.
If you're feeling REAL adventurous, the help and tutorials show every feature and shortcut.
I just got mine and haven't read all the threads( I know..my bad) but I'm just blown away with the keyboard.
The 16 pre-programmed shortcuts alone are so cool!
OP and all.... thanks for the eBay and other tips!

It's very interesting ( actually extremely weird) that when your name comes up.. the prediction mode suggests "enzyme!!"
If you look up the definition, I think it comes pretty close!
An enzyme is a protein molecule that is a biological catalyst with three characteristics. First, the basic function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction. Most cellular reactions occur about a million times faster than they would in the absence of an enzyme.

Opening up the app or visiting the browser, etc. And you can type that at the homescreen. This is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!02-25-15 10:09 AMLike 0 - I thought people already knew this since BlackBerry did a live demo of it.
You can also search YouTube through the BB Assistant and it will launch YouTube with the desired video you want.
Also note that you don't need to type it. You can just say "Search eBay for..." or "Search YouTube for..."02-25-15 10:31 AMLike 0 -

I'm on an experimental enzyme replacement therapy for a medical condition I suffer from called Fabrys disease, so it associates it to me. The words enzyme and enzyme treatment, replacement, and or therapy appear in a lot of my emails.02-25-15 11:53 AMLike 0

- My favorite thing to do with assistant is type note or task followed by what I want in that task or note and save it. So fast and efficient.

Anyway, the universal search is worse than 10.2.1 because its so much slower after they added voice assistance for 10.3.
My complaint: It takes too much time to search and open the Calculator app by going through the Universal Search app. This is meant to be a simple task.juacas and anon(3732391) like this.02-25-15 07:36 PMLike 2 - Whoa! This is slick. Thanks OP!

I was using voice (almost exclusively on my Z10.)
When I got the Passport (AT&T) Everything ran so smoothly except the voice recognition. It just wouldn't recognize me and was very slow when it did.
This went on for the remainder of the first day. During that time, I had done several reboots ( for other reasons) and put it on the charger over night (sleep mode) as I always do with my devices.
The next morning I didn't pay much attention to the voice issue but then half way through the day, on a whim, I hit the assistant and it worked perfectly and from there my voice recognition has been super fast and accurate.
So, maybe something in there might be useful to you guys, between rebooting and giving it a day or so.
I figure.. that's a woman in there and ya just can't hurry a woman. So, I played nice knowing she'd come around.

Another annoying thing is when you open it, you need to look for the search box and hit it to bring up the keyboard. Thats some extra steps there.02-26-15 06:34 PMLike 0 - I know this is going off topic (sorry Andy) but I wanted to update my thoughts on the voice issues.
I use Dragon Naturally Speaking on my Home Computers. Like any speech recognition software, it has to LEARN your voice.
While I agree the voice recognition and the Assistant were slow at first, after a few days it had my voice down and now HEARS me almost to the sound of my voice.
It's that fast!
(now back to our regularly scheduled thread!02-27-15 06:32 AMLike 0 - I totally don't use voice assistance so I don't really care if it works well or not. I'm only concerned about performance of carrying out tasks to achieve what you want. I know that the Search app would react quickly if you leave it running in the background but if you force close it then it would take a long time to be open up again.

Those extra steps can really wear your fingers off.
If you go into shortcuts (in settings) you can create any number of them.
So with the tap of your keyboard you can have a shortcut for "Search."
As for those extra steps... What's that saying?
