Passports @ Costco!

First time I've seen Passports in the wild. A couple had 2 today. His was black hers was white. I try and make it a point to talk to people who have BlackBerry 10 phones about their experience with them.

So I asked "how do you like your Passports? " and she immediately says "OMG are you kidding me I love this phone and BlackBerry!" and immediately takes me on a tour of the keyboard, screen, audio, and video with some saved YouTube videos. She was very nimble with her phone I was very impressed. Kind of made me feel a Lil inferior with my Q5 but I told them I own a Z10, Z30, Q10 and 2 Q5's which got a rise out of hubby.

Anyway we talked a little more until they had to leave. Just another feel good story that I wanted to share :).

Cool story!

That is a very cool story. I want more options...not less.

May there be many more posts like this one.

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

Can't wait to get me one!

The BlackBerry Guy

Great story, I met a guy with a Q10 at my kid's school concert, I was impressed.

Awesome story. I am always on the look out as well for other BlackBerry's in the wild.

You found only gadgets to talk about?!

Lol, I'm surprised you didn't freak them out.

That's cool that they both have one.

I was just kidding about the :mad: face.

:rotfl:

The sad part is that I have never seen a Passport. Not in the wild. Of course Verizon stores don't have it but I stopped in the local AT&T store and they gave me the same old lines about BlackBerry.

I've never had the experience to meet anyone with a bb10. Meeting one with a passport is like asking too much. But it's always great to hear some of these experiences. BlackBerry is for the secret society like us. Thanks for sharing.

Me too! I am out of the country and was all ready to ask the better half to pick one up, just to experiment....Likely all for the best as I have enough Q's.

Living in southern Ontario I see all kinds of BB'S however I did see a passport in Toronto 2 days after release a lady was banging pictures out on it and have seen a few since (you cant miss them) do see a lot of Classics and Q.s but yet to see a new Prev except for a very dead one at a Rogers store how can you check it out if it is not live .??

I live in Ottawa and seeing BlackBerry devices in the wild isn't rare. While at Costco yesterday I saw a Passport and a Z30.

I was in Costco about 3 weeks ago and the clerk running their phone booth :raised-eyebrow: didn't believe me when I told him that Blackberry was still in business. He thought that the only Blackberries available were used.

Two of my best friends each have a Passport and people pretty much go crazy when the see the Passport because they want to know what it is and it looks like nothing out there. I had been using a Q10 for over a year just got a Priv about 2 weeks ago. Feels pretty awesome when people are constantly going: "BlackBerry! Android...A KEYBOARD?! WHAT!!!!"

I live in Los Angeles and haven't seen anyone yet with a BlackBerry Passport. I have seen two people with Q10s and one with a 9930 at Costco. However, every time I pop out the Passport ( Red version) and people see it they get all enthusiastic about it and are amazed on how Android apps run on it. A few of my coworkers at Costco have made the switch to the Priv however.
