What would you change about the OG Passport or SE if you could?

I thought of this and could Not come up with anything right off the top of my head. Heck, even the keyboard including virtual row is perfect to/for me now which before receiving it was fearful of! Now I find it tough to text on my Q10.

I suppose I must answer though so I will say, give us 4 gigs of ram, that could be used..

Maybe a snapdragon 810 or above but again, not needed.

The only thing I'd really change would be the camera, it does not even have to be 4K but give us something like the LG V 10 has would be my only needed change I think secondary to slap that other gig of ram in there for fun as surprisingly to me BB10 is great with managing the processor but does use a bit of ram.

The charger port would of been more functional in certain situations for myself on either side as well, IMO but all this is not needed as this thing is my dream device especially the SE. I also don't mind being old school with the extra micro HDMI port to as to NOT need to carry other wires or special cables but that is just me.

Not sure why they didn't add wireless charging to the SE version though when it's in the AT&T version, hmmm...

Suppose that was AT&T's demands like their ugly orange box!

One more thing, I'd prefer a super amoled screen any day of the week (if not only for those deep, deep blacks and power consumption) and a removable battery. BlackBerry trademarks...

I can't picture how it would work out with a five inch screen even if had to go with a 3:2 ratio but thinking that would be just as sweet however love my sponge bob square phone!...

When it comes down to it, only thing needed is a better camera however this could indeed be fixed with software upgrades. We all know the zoom is slow and close ups which I love to take, are very hit or miss!...

I can't say anything else bad about it! Love the weight of it!
It is a work of art!...

In short, Camera speed and software quality.
Even though the camera can take good pictures at times, it could be even better. Especially with the specs it has.

Removable battery.
But I guess most would have to be a long time Nokia, specifically the E71, and Samsung Galaxy Note series user to really understand that.

Maybe a stylus.
Other than that there isn't much that I would change...other than the price lol

And yes...although I don't have AT&T, I have a deep hatred for their orang and white boxes...eww

Yeah camera upgrade for me...not great. Other phones have a far more capable camera.

Camera itself is actually fairly good. It's the autofocus and shutter speed that must be improve.

I'd change the white balance of the camera. Everything looks so cold.

Just got my passport SE and still in the sealed box so I don't have anything to complain about.... yet anyways, but I think that it has a nano sim, so I can't move the sim between my other BlackBerry 10 phones which have micro sims. I didn't see the need to have a different sim size.

You can get the cutter and adapter, I did and worked flawless.

It's pretty easy to tweak settings like these after you capture the photo. Have you ever tried the "edit" button?

LOL, willing to bet he did, maybe not enough for him?

I find it takes spectacular pictures when the focus is on point which it can do as you see it do it only to drift back out of focus sometimes right before a shot! Wtf! :x

I've had the OG since Jan this year and its been great. The only thing that would have been cool would be waterproofing. You haven't taken a groupy until you've had one from inside a pitcher of beer! Did from my xperia Z that sadly died 3yrs ago due to too much salt water immersion in Hawaii :)

It's about 10% to large in my opinion. And I have relatively large hands.

Removable battery would be the biggest feature I would like for me. It allows the phone to be used a lot longer than the life of the internal battery. And there is always a possibility of installing a bigger battery with an extended back cover that can increase the already awesome Passport battery life.

Other than that, I would have liked the Classic 4 row keyboard with the touch capabilities. The Passport is already such a big phone that a bit of extra height would not have made a difference.

haha, I thought it would be cool if the Passport SE was all black - minus the buttons. May spray mine one day, probably after warranty expires maybe sooner. Lol

But
On the SE:

All metal no plastic, especially the cover. Feels like I'm going to break it and won't be able to find another. Metal would feel better!

That back camera! It is exposed and feels like you should not place it on a flat surface.

Front Camera placed on the Left Corner of the device instead of the Right. I think it would be sexier. Lol

AM frequencies

Dual Sim

Better 3.5 Audio jack.
Considering this is a Two Handed device, I would have put the Audio jack towards the bottom of the device. Why the Top anyway? Holster? But most have Bluetooth anyway.

The Lock Button! It is useless on the Passport! This is a two handed device, when used most effective, and it is no way for the user to reach the Lock button without moving their hand! Besides you can have PKB shortcuts to lock and unlock and if they really need it, place it in an area where the user can access it. I never use it.. .

Digitizer on the back of the device. Could have features, double tap back to wake/lock, finger scan? , password, more scrolling options. Lots of things. :D

Change backlight color like the notification light.

On the front of the device only using the BlackBerry logo and not the text. :D

Camera improvement for me too. My Alpha C can focus in a very close-up situation so easily and without any problems. Idk why my Passport has trouble focusing in close-up

Posted via CB10

Maybe the size to make it somewhat more usable with one hand. Reaching apps with your thumb can be a chore if you don't set them as shortcuts

Posted via CB10

Definitely the camera.. Quality is all right, but I'd really really appreciate it more if it was faster in focusing.

Posted via CB10

I wish the keyboard on the passport were more similar to the classics somehow with the toolbelt to completely eliminate the fact that we need to touch the screen to type or action functions on the phone.

I have the OG and I used the Q10 prior to owning the PP. Owned both for about a year each now..

Trackpad-like functionality for the swipe keyboard.

Posted via CB10

All touch i.e. 6x9 screen model without PKB.

Don Diego endorses the Zed and wields a Silver.

Faster camera focus. That's all.
