    I understand your frustration. Passport, while amazing and clearly the pinnacle of BB10, is prone to many types of failure.

    I've had two and they both succumbed to the "emergency calls only" disease in the end. Along the way, I encountered squeaking and double typing keyboards that I replaced myself. I noticed screen lift and I noticed extreme heat when playing videos or running Android apps.

    I'm back on my Z30 and, while I honestly feel weird for using such an old device, it fits my needs perfectly right now. I'm planning to stick with this for a while until something catches my eye. BB10 addiction is hard to break even though I know I have to eventually leave.

    Without a doubt the Z30 is an awesome, awesome device.
    It totally makes sense to me going back to it!

    The Z30 has an extraordinary hardware quality and a unbeatable reception.

    When the double typing ussue arose on my then new 9780 in 2011, I ordered a new KB membrane, but the next software update solved the problem so I was glad I didnt have to rip it appart back then.

    It's great that it worked out for you.
    But unfortunately the lifting screen and double-typing problem on the Passport are hardware-based.

    What is this aurora been hearing of? Another TCL droid? Slab?

    Passport forever!

    The Aurora is a DTek-like budget device, but not available in Europe/North America.

    It looks promising for it's "price-hardware-ratio".
    But still it's "just" Android which won't work for me.

    I disagree on Priv. I moved from SE to Priv. thought I would miss it but I'm not. it is pretty good and does everything I need very well.
    I think you got me wrong.
    The Priv still is a great device (hardware), but I (personally) see no real future for it with software support.
    I predict it will get all those promised software security patches, but that's it - no Android 7.x support from BlackBerry.

    Which makes it an "outdated" device.

    150 for a brand new SE? Intriguing.. where is It you are located!? Lol

    Posted with my good ol reliable classic
    That's true and the deal still is up to date.
    MediaMarkt Germany still sells them for 149€.
    MediaMarkt is the German equivalent to BestBuy.

    Because of that deal I got a second Passport as spare-device.

    I will load a screenshot tomorrow.
    Right now I'm not able to upload a picture, because the CB-App on OS10 has problems with server commication right now.

    But it's still available for 149€
