- My dad is going to give me a late new year's gift this coming sunday, and if asks me want do I want, and now here is the dilemma I'm having a hard time deciding, I either want a 128gb iPad Mini 3 or 128gb iPad Air 2 or the BlackBerry Passport. I currently have a 128gb iPhone 6 and a Bold 9780. I considered the iPads because it will be my 1st iPad if ever decide to buy it, I still have my 64gb Playbook here, what do you think should I choose?01-09-15 07:15 AMLike 0

Good luck with whichever you decide to go with.chflower likes this.01-09-15 07:19 AMLike 1 - I kinda want the passport, but how can I justify it to my dad about it's size? he doesn't want big and wide phones thinking that it would be difficult to use. As for iPads, I'm an Engineering Student, Manga Reader and constantly making paper work drafts on my phone and edits them on my PC.many of my friends are saying that I already have an iPhone, getting an iPad is unjustifiable. I just wanted the opinion of Passport users.01-09-15 07:23 AMLike 0

In any case, since you said you make a lot of paper drafts, have you ever considered the Microsoft Surface 3 as a choice? I know many students reported they prefer the Surface 3 over all other tablets out there, thanks to great stylus, screen ratio and software. The iPad on the other hand more or less is just a large screened iPhone...
Regarding the Passport, it depends on what you actually want to do. Do you want a tablet or do you want another phone? IMO the Passport isn't really able to replace a (larger) tablet, so if you really want a tablet, better get one instead of the Passport.
The Passport itself is a great phone, you more or less need to use it with both hands, the screen is awesome for reading texts, viewing and editing documents and browsing the web. Also the screen estate for the whole UI, be it the Hub alone is great. What the screen is not too great for: Multimedia like videos and games, you simply the limits of the 1:1 ratio here.

Uhm Microsoft Surface huh. I don't know I think they don't sell it here in the Philippines, the Passport caught my eye even before I bought my iPhone, for it's size, keyboard and brand, I love the BlackBerry Brand and want to support them in anyway that I can but my sister who is an avid iPhone user since the 3G was totally against me getting a Passport because of it's size.7onZ likes this.01-09-15 07:41 AMLike 1

A beast device! Happy to made the switch here!Andy_bb_king likes this.01-09-15 08:08 AMLike 1 - Agree on the passport. It's big enough for a tablet use but small enough to carry and to use as a phone. It is really the perfect match for mostly everything.
What's so sad about apple over any other tablets if you decide to go with this is that everything is overpriced by many hundreds and once you choose apple, you are locked in. You have to use all apple products for the rest of your life because they won't let you easily buy something else. Buy apple TV at hundreds instead of chrome at 20$? Buy cables from apple instead of China because they secured the cables, buy song on itunes so they are locked for your accounts and not transferable to other devices, etc. I would look into any other tablet if I had to pick one. But I would firstly pick a passport because you can do absolutely everything with it.

- I would definitely say the passport. I have not used any of the tablets in this house since I got one and am strongly considering offloading my old school macbook and both the playbook and nexus 7 as i am only using my iMac and the passport.01-09-15 08:29 AMLike 0
- Yes same here.
Since getting the Passport, all of my ipad minis, tablets, and netbooks have gone to the kids. NO point in using then when I can use the Passport for everything. Browser kills it on the Passport! Oh yeah, it's an awesome phone too lol!!

- Maybe I am missing something here: Are you going to give your dad a present or is he going to give you a present? If the latter is the case, just how I understood, shouldn't he care only about your needs and not his regarding the present?

Keyboard also is very innovative and it's thoughtfully designed to adapt your writing pattern so that you don't need to type every word but just swipe up.

I use all brands of cables with my mac.
Oh, and I use both Apple and BlackBerry products. Hhmmm.
Oh, and I have a ton of iTunes music on my BlackBerry Passport. How does that work? ITunes music has no DRM.
You can do absolutely everything with a Passport? They are great but not that great. Still need a full computer.
