- Don't say that... what if they think they can get away with Z10's specs?
For me, that looks... ok, I also need the battery life to be as good as Z30 or Passport, screen as beautiful as Passport, Processor and GPU as powerful as Passport, with all the interfaces supported by Z30 or Passport, maybe plus wireless charging. And then I will consider to upgrade from my Passport.newfie1974 likes this.05-05-15 04:42 PMLike 1 - For those of you debating the whole way to get to the hub thing. The solution is rather simple. Currently there are four ways to get to the hub. That's right, FOUR (4). And that's not counting toast notifications.
1. Swipe up and right from anywhere.
2. While in the homescreen, or in the app pages, swipe right until you pass the homescreen.
3. Pressing the big hub shortcut
4. Pressing the small hub icon on the page list.
How about we cut that down to "only" three ways? And I have an idea that (might) satisfy everyone. I say make the big hub shortcut a customizeable shortcut and instead, if you have a notification, replace the small hub icon on the page list with the splash, and make it a little bigger too so it's not hard to touch. So, I know there will be complaints about this idea as well, so let's hear them...

I guess it's more of a wish then a theory really.

My theory for the slider is that in most cases, what we see as the hub preview on the left side of our screen could be enabled to be permanently on the edge off the screen, scrollable, and actionable (as in you could tap the text message icon, and it would bring you to the hub with only texts showing.FCSC likes this.05-05-15 06:54 PMLike 1 -

Now that would be cool! But take it a step further and make all icons customize-able. (kinda like they do....you know....on every other phone on the planet.)
Now you're talking! Use that extra screen real estate to maximize the great communications tools that BB already has.

- For some of us, the form factor change is reason enough. A big slider phone is what a lot of us were begging for prior to the release of the Passport.
The Passport was actually Heins' project. I'm thankful that the release of the slider demonstrates that Mr Chen was listening to the requests.

That said, I admittedly don't represent the large enterprise accounts that they're hoping for.
I personally think that this phone will please those potential customers though. It's the best of all worlds. It has the QWERTY that many business users still want, but also offers the full touch & large screen to which they have become accustomed.

The keyboard on the Passport may change that thinking, but then again, one must be able to get their hands on one to try. A little hard for those of us that need Verizon's coverage.

Which is why they are also releasing slab phones.
