re: The Passport is a big, blocky phablet and BlackBerry's strangest phone ever

Here are the apps on my Q: netflix, Pandora, Slacker, I heart radio, Tunein Radio, Kindle, NYT, WSJ, Washington Post, FB, Igrann (Instgram client), Twitter, Parrot (voice recorder), Google maps, weather app, Drudge, Skyscanner, Flixster, NFL Mobile, Pac Man, Evernote, Amazon Appstore, CIA World Factbook, Sayit, Skype, Whatsapp, and a call recorder app.
Did you side-load these apps as Android apps or were they native BB10 apps from BlackBerry World? Also how do these run on the Q10 with its non-standard 1:1 screen? If they run well without any issues on the Q10, I imagine they'd run well on the Passport too. The 1440 X 1440 screen should only help.
My only problem with the Amazon AppStore is that even it doesn't have standard Google apps like Gmail, YouTube, Google+, and Google Hangouts (a big omission) due to Google restricting these apps only to approved Android devices. I hope with the launch of the Fire phone, Amazon and Google work something out to get these apps into the Amazon AppStore, so that BlackBerry can also take advantage of it eventually.

I don't know how to side load.
Pandora, netflix, wapo, kindle, drudge, Tunein came from Amazon. Rest BlackBerry world.

How did you get the Amazon App Store on your phone? I thought the deal with Amazon was only announced last week and it was supposed to come with BB OS 10.3?

10.2.1 update allows you to do it. The deal last week skips that step and preloads it. I still had to download app and install it. That was very easy, no different than any other app, not a sideload. Just 10.3 will preload it on phone already

This phone is massive! I just don't think it will be that easy or comfortable to carry.

I like it.

The screen shots look nice and everything, I'm just concerned that it will be too big for me. Here are some more comparison shots.

Looks like it would fit in my suit pocket. I usually have two cell phones anyways. I wouldn't mind this as a business phone so I could better read files and keep them organized. Only two things missing are apps I can use and a stylus.

What apps you need?
Posted on 6/28/14 at 6:02 pm to prplhze2000
Fastcase, Casemaker, my banks, etc

I found both of these using Snap on my Q10. Will they work? I have no idea.
Posted on 6/28/14 at 6:57 pm to SabiDojo
Yeah. The legal apps. You have a point.
Posted on 6/28/14 at 8:22 pm to prplhze2000
The phones look great. I really like the Classic a lot.

Those bashing the passport, let's see what it actually does first

I don't see the appeal of the QWERTY keyboard with touchscreen technology being the norm.
Not to be a smartass, but a QWERTY keyboard is the just layout of a standard keyboard (physical or touch screen). It doesn't mean physical buttons.
