Actually, I see it as a 4.5" square tablet with a physical keyboard and phone capabilities. Nothing like it anywhere else. If it were marketed as such, not as just another smart phone, I think folks would see the magic this device has. 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 agree with you on MOST of what you said about the Passport. Except, without a doubt, a big part of what makes it such a powerhouse is in the OS. The fact that I can access my laptop files from anywhere within the phone's native file manager is huge!
However, the market thinks that this is a 'giant smartphone' and doesn't think of it as a mini-tablet which is a shame. I actually don't use my Passport as a phone anymore but, rather, have it as a companion to my Classic and I love it as such! It would also be the perfect companion to any platform. It's not just a phone though so the Priv could not replace it for me.
