- the form factor: yeah it's kinda "unique" but most of the time it's a bit nuisance in my pocket particularly if i'm wearing the jeans
- the "pocket screen wake up" really frustrates me if i put the phone with the screen facing the skin in my pocket. hence, i have to put my phone with the back facing the screen, but it will be a nuisance when taking calls on that position as most of the time, i'd touch the "silence" button or even accidentally tap the "end call" and i end up in having to call the person back because of that mess
- the app gap: yeah, i can't deny. no FB support, stagnant Twitter support, (currently) no WhatsApp support and the BBM has been way overdue, even the Android version of BBM is more stylish
- (a bit lower) reception capability: not too sure if this is due to the antenna position or the antenna performance itself BUT after jumping to the PRIV, i made some comparisons (also with other phones) and i conclude that MOST of the time, the Passport LACKS the reception
but, i love the battery, i love the lag/stutter-free and if WhatsApp has reconsidered NOT to leave BB10, i might would like to consider picking my Passport as dual wielding...
