Passport was redesigned a little bit with rounded corners.

It's not a laughing matter. He needs help.











ETA: Haze. I'm glad it makes you happy.

If BlackBerry weren't so behind on the apps, they would be my choice.

Well, I believe many Android apps run on it, and Amazon's app store makes it pretty easy to get them installed.

Between AA and Snap. I don't have to have an app for everything and what I do need, I have. Only apps I wish I had are the Nextdoor and HBO to Go.

I'm looking forward to the big screen as I do a lot of reading that includes pdfs and word docs. I have to type alot so that keyboard is a big deal to me.

4.5" X 4.5". 1440 X 1440 pixels I think. Great pixel density (>400 ppi).

4.5", though it is square so it has more surface area than a widescreen (tallscreen?) at 4.5"

The screen is most definitely not 4.5" X 4.5". It is 4.5" diagonally, so it's about 3.2" X 3.2". The entire phone is 3.56" wide.

Lots of apps I use are local or lesser known apps and those developers choose Apple or Android (usually both). I don't know if BlackBerry can do anything about that, but that would be great.

Oops. My bad. That's what I meant. The diagonal is 4.5". Not sure why I typed 4.5" X 4.5".

I'm tempted to try the Passport. I hope AT&T will have them in stores. The size of the device has always been a concern of mine. I want to see how it feels in my hand.

Blackberry is making a comeback. I miss those keyboards. I could type 40 words per minutes without looking.

Only thing that will suck is that because it has a different shape, it will take a little while for new cases to come out. I like the rounded corners though.

I've never had a case on any of my BlackBerries. They look best naked.
