BlackBerry Passport: Fat, weird, but CrackBerry addicts might love it

I work in IT where most people have iPhone or Samsung for their personal phones, but due to security reasons, have Blackberry's for work. Believe it or not I've heard many people in the department very interested in the Passport! With it's 60 character wide display makes reading Word documents and excel worksheets much easier with less scrolling or switching your phone to landscape.
Personally I'm going to have to see in my hot little hand before I can make a decision - but I'm very curious about it. I have to say I love my Z10!

Just switched providers and got a free Q5. Loving every minute of it. Physical keyboards forever!

I was shocked when I saw that thing. The major benefit I see is like Shawn said, for reading Word docs or Excel sheets, this would be great. But does it fit in your pocket? haha
That being said, without getting off topic, I'm personally loving my Samsung. :lol:

Not sure what Lenovo has in store for them when the deal closes, though.

This could make for quite the strategic acquisition - if an employer mandates the use of a BB for security/encryption reasons, how many of those BB holders currently have a secondary device for personal use? This (if I understand the technology) allows me to use it for both.

Almost everyone I know who has a corporate phone issued to them, carry 2 mobile phones with them around the office - at their desk and to meetings. One for work and one for when the school/babysitter/spouse/etc calls. This virtual SIM could be a real service to those people.

We rented a 2012 Ford using the first release of their Microsoft system and could never figure out how to change the radio station. Neither could my programmer friend and trust me, we touched and clicked every single nob, screen and button we could think of. Nothing worked.

So they managed to achieve full Windows compatibility. |
