- That would be a great idea. I never knew that I one-handed my phone so much until I couldn't do it anymore. It is becoming a big deal for me

What some of the re-sizing functions do (like Apple's Reachability) is bring the top of the screen down to bring it within reach of the thumb. With the physical keyboard form factor, the keyboard will always occupy the lower portion of the phone.
If anything, the touch sensitive keyboard can be used to make one handed use simpler.10-30-14 09:41 AMLike 0 - The way most people hold a smartphone is towards the bottom, with a corner in the palm of the hand, fingers wrapped around, and thumb floating over top.

This way it could shrink content to the side of the screen based on which handed you chose to set. Also with regards to typing, it would arrange the predictive text from left to right or right to left based on the hand you chose for the best recommended word. Meaning that a word I'm more likely to select would be "flickable" using my right thumb if I selected right handed use because it would be on the right side of the screen not left.
Having cursor control would also make this easier because it will allow one handed navigation. Maybe allow the spacebar to be used for selecting in cursor control mode.
This way they only two handed requirement is when typing full sentences, otherwise most other tasks can be done in one handed more.

Edit: my bad, I misunderstood your comment lol, I get what you mean. But on that note, they could arrange the predictions based on which hand you set.

Passport, SQW 100-1, 10.3.0.115410-30-14 11:13 AMLike 0 - Are we getting so darmn lazy we can't extend a second hand to hold an object that weighs a few ounces?
Seriously, we want a company to intentionally build a an object that needs 2 hands to use (bigger screen+PKB) then ask them to modify it at the software level so we don't have to use both hands?
What are you people smoking!?

BUT those people are out there and apparently are the majority so blackberry should figure a solution to please them so that they buy many many many blackberrys. That way, blackberry never goes under.
Posted via CB Q10 or 900010-30-14 11:41 AMLike 0 - I think blackberry 10 os is really manageable with one hand use better than android and ios
except for typing which most of us use two hands, I think no matter how blackberry go big with devices, th os is very easy with one hand at least comparing it to android or ios

Should they just wait until they reach their desk to check their Passport? What happened to efficiency? Instead of shooting down ideas and calling others lazy, how about we foster innovation instead? Enough with the "be happy with what you already have" attitude.
I bet if someone back in 2011 said "I don't want to reach up to my touch screen on my bold 9900 as it blocks the view and also makes me move my thumb too much" you would have responded with "really?? Are people getting so Damn lazy they can't extend their thumbs half an inch to a touch screen? What do you want, a Damn touch keypad??!"
All I am saying is don't shoot down ideas that seem crazy today. From what I have seen BlackBerry has huge amounts of talent and I am confident they can surprise us with software to make the PP more 1 hand friendly.
Posted Via My Passport From The Big T.O10-31-14 01:00 AMLike 3 - Ummmmm no, how about we try this instead. People that wake up at 5 in the morning, pick up a coffee and begin walking into their office where they plan on getting stuff done that day. AKA BlackBerry's target audience. What about these people?

Oh yeah, they tried that with Rancheros and El Caminos but doesn't look like it worked out long term (I love both, BTW as old muscle car type rides).
Point being that innovation is great, but use the correct tool for the job, man! Need a one handed capable phone so you can run through the airport while texting /emailing/ tweeting ? Get one! How about a Z30 or successor, or the Classic?

It wasn't a secret hidden that passport couldn't be used one handed with ease. They bought it and now need a "solution " to a problem that was be warned
