Thoughts, 3 weeks w/ Blackberry Passport
I bought my first BlackBerry product ever July 18th of this year. The Passport has really changed and raised my standards on what an intelligent phone should be. The keyboard is fantastic, with all the shortcut mappings available, I never thought any of these could exist on a touchscreen phone. The convenience of locking the phone form home screen, opening the browser without touching the icon, and composing messages with a simple push of letters I can customize to my liking make me wonder how I got by with a touchscreen phone for the past 2 and half years. I really like my BlackBerry phone, especially the media card I added, I copied all my books and power point presentations for school that I can look at from anywhere I am, whenever I want. The assistant on this phone doesn't sass me, plus the battery on this phone is no joke.
There are numerous things I did not mention above that I also like about the Passport, but there is one thing I would like Blackberry to improve on, and that is the OS. Nothing is wrong with it, but with all the rams my phone came equipped with, things should run a tad more smoothly, coming from an iPhone I got kinda used to the silky smooth OS they have tested and refined, but honestly that is all. I know with time more apps will be available to BlackBerry World and the Amazon Store, but the OS needs to be polished a little more. BlackBerry has won me over, I don't think I can ever go back to a touchscreen phone, not even those cool Samsung Phones with that nifty side bar.
Keep up the hard work Crackberry, I'm feening over here!
