Nothing like it anywhere But the hardware platform is so good IMO that I really don't care at the end of the day which OS it runs, just as long as the hardware is enabled to the max.

I love the BlackBerry 10 OS more than the internal hardware, actually. The gesture-based operations make Android seem so clunky and frustrating. Another big reason I'm not going Android is because Android was developed solely to hoover up personal data for Google's algorithms -- providing a "free" OS with no app permission controls was a brilliant strategy for Google, and wickedly successful; but I'll stick with an OS that was actually designed for ME.


Passport SE: All the snooty prestige of a device with a precious metal in the name at less than half the price!

[CrazyJo82]

Why leave my Passport for the Priv when:
1. I prefer BB10 OS over Android
2. My Passport is not even one year old.
3. My Passport does everything I need a mobile device to do and then some.
4. I cannot justify the expenditure.
5. I don't need a lot of apps

I am staying where I am because my unlocked BlackBeauty is a powerhouse tool that keeps me productive.

[CrazyCraftLady]

I prefer my Passport SE's looks and the OS10.

If people actually used a BlackBerry which doesn't supposedly doesn't have "critical apps", they would see how little they actually use them. I use an iPad for the apps that I want but can't get on my BlackBerry. I only use the iPad in school on my break and at night for a little while

A lot of apps that people need are nothing more then fluff. That's why I love my Passport. They have everything I need with a great ecosystem with everything in place for getting stuff done

Love the OS
Love the form factor
Love the look of disgust on people's faces when they see my weird phone
Have been lusting after a white pkb phone since 2010, I finally have one, feel free to try to pry it from my cold, dead fingers but I ain't letting go.

Staying with my Passport because its unique and a great phone and secure and love BB10 OS. I have a Classic for the weekends and just like having a keyboard to hammer out words!

The slider is cool and if it comes with BB10 OS I might dump the Classic for it but if not, im all in on keeping my small stable of BB's.

Heck I have my 9930 in its stand as a clock in my office and my BB tablet on my desk just waiting for me to mess with it and my younger two kids use their BB tablets opps Playbooks. I had a brain fart

My passport has had no hardware issues, few software issues, and after reading the horror stories herein:

1. Keeping what works...
2. Uncertainty over getting a lemon...
3. Uncertainty if BlackBerry will outlive my Passport...
4. Uncertainty if BlackBerry will survive the Priv debacle...
5. Drooling over a dreamed-of webOS device...

There ya go...

[schlemer]

Already have a Classic (daily driver), a Passport (run off the classic's hotspot), GS4 and a Samsung Tablet for at home use. Got my bases covered. Can't see my self dropping anothe $500-$650 on another device. However, never say never.

I'm staying with my Passport SE and going for the Priv too. I like having my cake and eating it too.

[anon(2325196)]

I can't see any reason why I would not continue using my Passport(s) for a long time to come. I'm going to try and keep the collection going, but I will keep my SIM in one of my Passports.

I'll stay with Passport because it can basically replace a tablet/laptop. No other phones can do it.

I'm an IT guy and mobile working is critical to me. The Passport still isn't an ideal pocket computer, I know. But there's no better one.

Because it's totally bad @ $$. Pocket laptop.

[Nascarfan24]

Yep- me as well. Passport, Z30 and Z10 all work and function VERY well on 10.3.2

[Stephen Green]

Agreed. On my Passport more on my tower PC. Only wish BlackBerry 10 had a better Office suite Apps.

Same here. I had a nokia lumia this week while waiting for my replacement passport. Of course I could get by with that but only by using my laptop more.

The thing is, if we could us USB OTG for ethernet, I could use my laptop even less

The priv offers nothing interesting to me, and I'm happy with my Passport.

I want my keyboard available immediately, I don't want to have to "smartslide" to use my capacitive keyboard or universal search.

I don't want a narrow screen.

I don't want a second rate OS that attempts to integrate BB10 features. I want BB10.

And I haven't even had the phone for a year.

the ethernet to usb adapters dont work? i just use wifi so i havent tried it

[PonyCrazyKid]

I'm waiting on my Passport - if it does what I think it does, I might not have to hump around my macbook when traveling overseas. I'll be able to work directly on my Passport - on my stories, as well as to edit the odd word doc an editor might have me polish for someone else. I can't edit a work doc on the 4s (probably an App but they just drain the battery). I can't do much of anything productive on the 4s. I prefer recreational activities that take place out of doors, preferably around horses.

All these people going on ad nauseum about Apps - phhhttttt ! I spend marathon hours daily on my macbook - life is about more than virtual living. These are the Apps I would like - turboscan (very handy), maybe a language app or two, such as Swahili for when i'm in Kenya... Gotta have Gmail, Skype (if possible), FB messenger - that's about it for me... YAY PASSPORT!!! bought new unlocked white Passport. When it's time to replace, will get the red or SE... be still my heart!
