@DRWORMBOY, I appreciate this feedback this is one of the arguments I had with BBAU marketing a few years ago it is not as difficult as many have stated considering there is a post on here how to remove the google play services restriction it could be part of the auto load to BB world process. I was running leaked 10.2 at the time first of the auto apk load builds. hmm give me a day or so and ill have another survey up this one i may run global also if you have not as yet complete this survey BlackBerry Passport Poll | Efron Media Group.


Keep this stuff coming it helps alot.

... there is a post on here how to remove the google play services restriction ...

Also off-topic:

@DrWormBoy - I used GMaps Patcher (see http://forums.crackberry.com/android...rvices-914930/) to patch TransitTimes+ and it works perfectly (though a bit slow)
You need to have the APK - but when you use SNAP, you can tell snap to store the APK in a known location after install. So that's no issue.

I does not work for all apps ... or at least I could patch WeatherZone Freebut never got it reliable working.

It was awesome. Very nice to hold and not likely to be a heap of Sh1t like the apple rubbish.

Telstra in mid October according to BlackBerry Aus.

Looks like amazon will deliver to Aus. Wondering if I should pull the trigger before it sells out. Looks like it would be $711 shipped...

Took a punt and ordered from Amazon. Fingers crossed for fast shipping!

Where are you? I come over to have a look at this awesome device (just joking)

Although the device still sounds to big for me, after the reviews i'm tempted to give it a try

[aussienick]

I also ordered from Amazon and suprised they would be shipping to Australia..hopefully it ships and they dont cancel the order.

[amarkj]

I sent a tweet to Telstra and was told to register my interest because they were waiting to hear about this and had no info. Useless.

Looks like Amazon has a monopoly..

I was thinking of an Amazon order myself, however was concerned that the radio bands would not be the same (ie. SQN-001 or what have you) and not work on Telstra 4G. I also think I prefer the white version, which there wasn't really much mentioned at the event, and nobody has it listed. Can anyone shed light?

[aussienick]

Check out clove.co.uk who will have the white version from 29 September. It converts to approx $780 outright with delivery

[Harrison Hoolahan]

Do you think that there will be a difference in its compatibility with Australian networks versus UK?

[DrWormBoy]

I'm in Sydney.

There is only one version of the passport release which I believe works for all GSM networks (accepts a massive amount of frequencies).

What would be the warranty situation if I bought it from Amazon?

Posted via CB10

[jscan44]

I was considering buying from Amazon if the RRP in AU is ridiculous, but I assume there would be zero warranty support in AU.

Not that it's much better when you buy from a carrier like Optus since they just send it back to Sydney to their
generic service center provider.

[CRACKBERRY_OZ]

Hey guys I would hold off sales in Australia are for enterprise and give only on Optus not sure about Telstra see how sales go there may be massive price drops in 6 months think of the PlayBook and the q10 and z10 worth getting but rather do two for one
