    I love the keyboard on my Z30 but really want the Passport. My one concern is that on my Z30 I regularly switch to a Greek keyboard and it's brilliant, how can I get the same performance on the Passport?

    Not for me, a lot of what I do is widescreen and the Z30 is bigger in landscape mode. I have been checking out the features and specs but that so far isn't enough to make the change. The release of 10.3 is what I'm most interested in... I don't do leaks.

    Z30 144GB
    Same considerations for me, specially considering Passport's price.

    Anyway I don't know what will happen after playing with it...

    After playing with 10.3 I am no longer sure if I want the Passport.

    I definitely want to try it, probably not a full on switch. I'll work it into the rotation.

    I'll buy it as soon as Bell lists a pre-order.

    I love the virtual keyboard on my Z30, but I admit I miss the keyboard shortcuts from the Q10. I'm really intrigued by the idea of a gesture-enabled keyboard that gives me the best of both worlds.

    I want the spec. 3GB RAM? 32GB Storage? Snapdragon 800 quad-core? Hard to resist...
    " I miss the keyboard shortcuts from the Q10"
    ^ This right here speaks of a man that is a BlackBerry power user!

    This combined with the flick gestures and the touch sensitive keyboards navigation would be a HUGE win for BlackBerry in TV advertisement!

    Especially considering Samsung's Note commercial with SPen talking about kids learn and gain confidence blah blah with no scientific research to back it up! I hate advertisement like that without facts!

    ? BlackBerry Z30 ? If it Don't Make Dollars, It don't Make Sense!

    I am going to buy an unlocked GSM version of the passport as soon as it's released. I love my z30 and now with the 10.3 leak installed on the device, I am beginning to really like the device.

    In my option the 10.3 leak really makes to z30 sing, I an excited about BlackBerry's future and can't wait to see what's coming down the road. It should be a great ride.

    Truth be told, stole my son's hardware upgrade to get the Z30.

    When mine's up I'll get the Passport and give my 14 the Z30.

    That'll keep him busy for a goodwhile.

    Won't be getting a Passport. Not a fan of the form factor or physical keys. Very happy with the Z30 and see myself using it for a long time. Unless of course BlackBerry releases a Z50.

    Absolutely . Can't wait. It's a better son of my Q10 and Z30.

    Since I don't have a Z30, I'm going to switch over to using a Passport for its wider keyboard. Wider means more comfortable.

    For me, after playing with 10.3, I guess passport is not that appealing to me. I learned the full touchscreen keyboard of BlackBerry. Doesn't want to go back to hardware keys. The square form factor is a major thing that makes me don't like it. It's too huge for my hands.

    I sway back and forth. I love my z30 but a physical keyboard would be really nice. Even BlackBerry auto correct has its moments.

    Agreed but by far the most accurate compared to touch typing on android os and ios. I WILL DEF be getting a passport. When your on the go and have to bang out correct text pronto, I really appreciate typing qwerty keyboards. Way better and you don't have to worry about the constant backspacing to correct wrong typing.

    That is a very good question op. I have a Z30 and I love it. In anticipation of the Passport I went out and got a Q10. I have only been using the Q10 for a day now but I plan on trying it out for a while to see if I could transition back to a physical keyboard. I love the look of the Passport so if I can adjust back to the physical keyboard then I will ditch the Z30 and pick up the Passport.

    I've done the Z10 and Z30. I skipped the Q10 due to screen size. But I've always wanted to give a hardware keyboard a try (I was never a legacy user). So, here I come, Passport! Ready to feel the power of the best of both worlds; hardware keys AND flick typing

    I'd like to play with it for a novelty thrill but I can't see myself using a phablet for everyday use. It will look hilarious to hold this monster to your ear while answering the call. Not my cup of tea.

    I've got a Z10 and I almost never put it to my ear. Almost always headphones or Bluetooth.

    You can still flick with Passport. Your selection of words is just limited to 3 now versus Touch screen.

    I'm the same way, getting the passport but keeping Z30 just in case.

    With my...what? A BlackBerry?! Yeah!

    If/when Verizon offers it, I'll definitely be getting one. The specs are just too good to pass up.

    I was watching the classic and thinking of going with it but over the last couple days I'm leaning towards the passport. I wear hearing aids and use a streamer to use within with my Z30 so I never have the phone to my ear either most of the time. I'll be holding on the my Z30 as well though.

    No. Its not my type. 1:1 screen is a big NO for me.
    I'm happy with Z30. Until the next full touch screen announcement, I will not think of any switch.
