- Because even less people would want one of those than a portrait slider.
Seriously, a landscape slider would be really hard to use if it were a large phone like this.

1) that would make the device huge and force BB to use a similar passport style keyboard to keep it small.
2) Blackberry does not have the manufacturing process to build a dual curved screen ... But Samsung does and my Guess is its the same 5.1" QHD samoled panel as it would be easy for Samsung to make extra Edge screens for that upcoming blackberry as well as any other parts as i suspect that BB slider and the S6 edge share allot more than just the curved screen.
im glad to say when the slider comes out if i don't have an S6 already ill be getting it.
i like this partnership BB helps Sammy with security and Sammy helps with cool hardware and specs ... maybe a bit of software help for cameras or inspiration for new OS Features.03-08-15 08:30 AMLike 0 - Fantastic phone but the screen seems a little to big, especially if your sliding it open to answer calls

- My wife is already jealous of it because I'm talking about paying full price for it as soon as it's available. More money than I would consider spending on her.03-19-15 09:08 AMLike 0
- Yeah. That's a legit issue, especially for folks who may have recently paid full price for a Passport.
Hopefully they will offer some nice trade-in incentives. (Thought I have no idea how you pull that iff if you're
buying direc t from Blackberry. Maybe a rebate if you return the Passport after you have transferred your
data to the new phone?)

That being the case, I'd encourage you to see if there are still any HP Veers available on Amazon. http://stuffmideast.com/2011/02/12/1...os-smartphone/

Naaa, for me its two handed, and if I cannot use two hands for some reason, I ain't typing. Though I find the Z30 easy to use with one hand.03-22-15 10:12 PMLike 0 -
Posted via CB1003-22-15 10:18 PMLike 0 - You don't HAVE to but you can!
It's not so much about being able to slide it open to answer the call, but being able to slide it closed to end the call.

- I was holding out for the Pre3 when HP ditched WebOS. Went with a Dell venue Pro instead. I would have loved to have owned a Pre3 though.
I believe the screen of the Dell Venue Pro was about the dimensions of the Z10. 4.8 x 2.5 with about the same amount of actual screen space. When I hold that phone now, it seems extremely small, and makes me appreciate the large Passport screen. What I personally would like would be a screen as wide as the Passport's screen, but taller than the entire Passport.
You could still use it 1 handed for answering calls, scrolling up and down, and so on, but would need two hands to type, as you would for any phone with a physical keyboard.
Additionally, I'll note that I have nerve damage in my hands, so my hands aren't all that dexterous, and I have noticed that you can accomplish a lot of things with the personal assistant without having to type at all. I'm still learning to use this function.
I'd be extremely disappointed though if BlackBerry were to produce a slider and went backward to the size of a Z10 screen. I think that would make it practically useless to most consumers or business users.

How about the Passport Slider?! Picture your beautiful Passport as is but, you can slide the keyboard away and when you do... wait for it... more screen pops out from the top!
It would stay true to the Passport dimensions always and the 'slide' feature would not make it bigger but only switch it from all touch to physical keys. I know that this would require a small seam in the screen (a smaller additional screen panel would need to tuck away under the top but, still, how sweet would that be?! Excuse my artistic skills but here's what it could look like:
