I want the Passport. Looks good. It should come with a stylus, imo.

The entire keyboard on the Passport is capacitive. You can do gestures on it...basically the keyboard is one large trackpad!

‘I’ll admit it. When I first saw the Passport I thought it looked horrible in pictures, in real life I love it. It is nice to hold and not too big, with the capacitive keys you don’t need to reach around the screen to place your cursor. Just double tap the key board, cursor appears then swipe to move. It looks big but it fits real nice in your shirt pocket. I got to play with it for a few hours and then had to hand it back. By that time it was more a case of having it forcibly removed from my grasp!
The screen is 60 characters wide (Kindle is 66) so documents are very easy to read and it feels extremely high quality.
It’s a proper grown up BlackBerry keyboard but it’s capacitive, like your screen. So, for example, go on the web, turn the handset on it’s side and then swipe up and down the keypad to scroll up and down the page. It is hard to comprehend but when you use it the whole idea makes sense and I fell in love very quickly.
Hopefully when people get this in the wild it will fly!’
