What does the Passport do better than everything else?
We all know (and constantly hear about) the Passport's and BB10's limitations, but I'm wondering what you believe the Passport does better than the competition.
In my opinion, the HUB experience on the Passport is the best messaging experience on any mobile device. I have used iOS and Android, as well as the PRIV, the Classic and the Q10. The Passport's screen size matched with the brilliance of BB10's HUB is second to none. I keep track of 3 emails, text messaging, phone calls, voice mails, and even Facebook and Twitter and they're all in one unified but also dedicated inbox. Such a joy and ease to use and I find exactly what I want when I need it with no effort. This is the primary reason I use this device and will continue to until either something surpasses it OR it just stops working.
The Keyboard of course is unlike any keyboard on any other device. Some say it's too big, but I'm 6'1 and I have long fingers and it's like the Passport was made for me. I type effortlessly and make very few errors, vs. the iPhone and Android where I would send out 15 texts a week with a word or phrase I didn't mean to type. Grr! Thank you Passport for this ingenious keyboard! Even the Classic and the PRIV can't compare.
Multitasking it an actual thing on the Passport. I can move between 4-5 different tasks without a hitch thanks to the active frames and the gestures and the keyboard shortcuts. The people who created this phone were using their brains like someone who works hard and tries to be productive. :) I applaud them!
Then there's little things like the file storage app. How has this not won an award yet? It's brilliant. Smooth and secure with no stupid ads in the way. The music app and photo gallery are just perfect. I use BBM every day with my wife and we use the video chat often, and it at least rivals Apple's Facetime, if not surpasses it. The battery is unrivaled. Part of staying productive is NOT worrying about your battery life. And I can confidently say that I can sail through the day without having to tether my device to a power cable.
Yes, you noticed I didn't boast about gaming or multimedia. The Passport actually does a good job at those things, but you can tell it was never the intent of the creators of the device. So anyone getting a Passport expecting it to match the graphics and ability of other smartphones in this department are just disillusioned. It's a device for work, productivity and getting back to life (that also can game and stream videos and post funny pictures).
But, it's a 3 year old BlackBerry (today's worst description for any smartphone) and yet some of us are buying more to have as backups. :)
I have more I could say, but I'm curious to hear other opinions...
