Hey..welcome - Tether, yes if your cell provider allows it on your 5 (I'm assuming your migrating to a bb10 unit). I'm with Rogers (Canada) and use the Hotspot feature a lot..its a saviour!
2nd question I'm afraid I can't help you with...enjoy your new BlackBerry!
I can't say directly about Clash of Clans, either; there have been mixed reports. Most likely, the game may be playable on 10.3+, but you won't be able to make in-app purchases.
Just love the feel and the return of a tactile keyboard. Also I personally love the look of it so its a given that I will be getting one. Thanks for the quick replies.

Really? I can't really play Clash of Clans on the Passport. The campaign screen is messed up. Without it, you can't complete the tutorials.
Maybe someone else has better luck?

I have not personally done it, but have seen threads with people who have.

Just curious OP, since you have an iPad, why not use that to play Clash of Clans? Definitely no compatibility or workaround issues with that. And you'll have a better gaming experience on a bigger screen.
Tethering yes you can through bluetooth or using passport as a wifi hotspot.
Will you feel disappointed? That's a personal matter and noone can answer for you I'm afraid. Having come from using multiple touch screen devices regularly: Z10 and Note 3 have been in active use before switching to a Passport, I have not been disappointed. The only real rival to the Passport is the note 4 now. The iPhone 6+ is RIDICULOUSLY big and unwieldy.
I would say if you use your phone for productivity and could benefit from a great keyboard go for the Passport. If it is for games and truckloads of apps then the Note 4 is a better bet. I can't recommend the iPhone 6+ to anyone who has an iPad.
Tethering with the mini will solve the issue if need be. I'm certainly going to buy one this week...if I can find one and would prefer the gold trim version but I'm not patient
Clash of clans is playable! It works properly! I never used to work in 10.2 but in 10.2.1 10.3, it works phenomenally

How did you get it to work?
For me the formatting is still all messed up and since there's no Google services sync I can't get all of my old progress (don't even get me started on restoring)
So I can't pass the Single-player tutorial that's offscreen

While I hope that the Passport sells really well, I'm not sure it's right for you if your concern is about a game's compatibility. I don't think BlackBerry ever intended this device to be aimed at the Clash of Clans crowd. Again, don't get me wrong here. It would be great if it ran perfectly on the Passport. All I'm saying is that you may be disappointed with the device if gaming is a main concern of yours.

Yup. I gave up on it for the Passport. If I want to play it, I will use my old iPhone.

Not really... BlackBerry actually is hoping for exactly this type of user. A user that has an iPad or Android tablet, but needs an efficient and solid hub for their communications. That's why they're pushing Blend for iOS and Android tablets.
Go ahead and buy the Passport, it will be an excellent partner for your iPad!
