Blackberry Passport Announcement Thread 24/09/14 - Page 2

Anonymous · ‎24-09-2014

Good Afternoon!

With less that 30 minutes until the launch of the BlackBerry Passport I decided to setup this announcement thread as I'm not expecting an official thread from O2!

Please leave your constructive thoughts here to try and keep this launch info and members thoughts all in one thread. (If possible )

Please try to remain On Topic.

You can follow the launch in the BlackBerry Live Stream here: http://live.blackberry.events/

There's alot of comparisons to the iPhone 6 at the moment...including the need to turn the iPhone to landscape view to get the same screen width as the Passport

BlackBerry 10.3 brings a new design, 100's of new features designed to boost productivity:

BlackBerry Assistant - A personal assistant built for work - stating it is better than Siri and Google. Siri/Google can't access info secured on work devices, but Blackberry Assistant can do so.

Blackberry Assistant will interact hands free with you at the wheel

Touch enabled keyboard: users were 4 times more accurate with less typos in tests

(sorry I had numerous phonecalls at work there, I'm trying to catch up!)
