- Hmmmm....This forum is full of threads with people crying, begging and demanding new devices from Blackberry. Give us a new full touch device/slider/physical keyboard, best specifications, competitive, and this and that. Now, Blackberry comes out with a repainted 2 year old device with the same 2 year old hardware, with some aluminium precision machined beveled case/corners and cons people into shelling out $649 Cdn for it. Oh sorry forgot, some trinkets are included. The kicker is a leather case $30 more expensive then a sync pod/charger. You got to be on drugs to accept that. Icing on the cake is KM crawling out of his hole peddling this joke. What suprises me the most is that a lot of people who already have blackberry Passport fall for this robbery and decide to spend this ridiculous amount of $$$$ for a 2 year old device with 2 year old hardware. Time to wake up....
Why would Blackberry give you new competitive devices with great specs and so on and so forth, if they can just repaint, machine, bevel, smooth out, repackage their old hardware and dupe you into buying it at premium prices.
Oh, and sorry to Verizon customers.....
In case someone wants to know. I still use my 2.5 year old Z10 bought on the release date. Never an issue. Very happy with it.
Cheers

Anybody wanna help?08-05-15 03:56 PMLike 0 - Got a one month black BlackBerry passport. I like the red one but could not find here in stores so I purchased the 1st one I found. I would like to know what's different with the silver edition apart from the colour. I am thinking of selling mine to get another passport.08-05-15 04:25 PMLike 0

- The Passport was only released last Fall. The specs may not be the latest from that time period, but the device itself hasn't been on the market that long. There's nothing wrong with refining a product. It's not meant to be an upgrade, just a better version, perhaps to appeal to those holdouts of the Z10 and Q10, which if we go by your tech spec standards, is probably 4.5 years old.08-05-15 07:39 PMLike 0
- I have 4 BlackBerry 10 devices. I am BlackBerry fan and like to try different phones. To each his own. Many of the crackberry forum members have multiple Blackberrys like me.

Why buy different shirts, trousers and underwear, makes no sense. what for? Just to say you have them?
08-05-15 08:58 PMLike 3 - Makes plenty sense to me... have two Z10s, two Z30s and, as of now, two Passports without the Silver Edition.

But i'm into silver looking stuff for a lot of stuff I have and wear! Having a silver edition will just add to the aesthetic I prefer! Yes, I will get one but gonna wait a month or two to see if anyone reports issues! All I need is the flip case so I can't really benefit from the promo,im ok missing out on the accessory promo!

I wanted to wait a bit before I dropped $549 for the silver edition but then I realised, If I waited for reviews and feedbacks, I'd miss out on the deal.world traveler and former ceo likes this.08-06-15 07:13 AMLike 1 - I wouldn't necessarily compare clothes. We all need clothes (kinda), food, water, oxygen, shelter... you get the point. I think all of us have our one quirk that we love and tend to turn it into overkill. My best friend is arguing with me now. He just got the S6 Active and is like why the hell do you need another phone? My answer... I enjoy it. Why do you need a million high end surfboards?
You'll likely find here the few that love devices and a Passport, arguably the best BlackBerry ever made, now with reinforcement for durability + aesthetics is plenty to add a device to my BlackBerry collection. It's all in what we find valuable. I'll never understand my friend's need to purchase $200 pair of jeans, I'll take a nice $40/60 buck pair of jeans. There are a lot of us here that enjoy using multiple electronics... even different editions of the same device.
It's all in what each person finds valuable in life. If the means are there and it brings me joy to get a Silver Edition and excitement to open it and play around with it like I'm a kid on Christmas, I really don't see the issue.

So I'm cool with electronics being your thing, but does owning 4 Passports give you joy? You're using one, and the other 3 are sitting in a drawer collecting dust. What's the point? You could get $1,000+ for those 3 which could give you plenty to buy the next BlackBerry device..
Ya, you played around with them like a kid on Christmas day, but now you threw them under the bed where they've become neglected $500 paperweights. Don't PERSONALLY see the point in that.
I'm waiting to get the Silver Edition either way.08-06-15 10:01 AMLike 0 - In Russia, people spend thousands of dollars on Vodka. In the USA, people spend thousands of dollars on electronic devices. If we really got down to it, we only need one device and one bottle of vodka to survive. But some people like multiples of things.anon(5990673) and devilxvergil like this.08-06-15 10:53 AMLike 2
