Blackberry Passport Announcement Thread 24/09/14

[Anonymous]

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/

OS 10.3 effective today gives access to all kinds of new apps via the Amazon App store. Can download paid app for free on Amazon.

BlackBerry Blend allows access to BBM from computer. Blend Dashboard diaplays emails, calendar, BBMs, etc. Save a presentation and have access to it on any Blend connected devices.

Just trying to find that out!

The bigger questions is will the Passport be available on O2? Why has there been no official announcement of it by O2? (or have I missed it and this actually isn't a lack of the commitment towards Blackberry that we were assured O2 had??)

Theres still no news as to weather the passport will be avalible on O2. I tried to enquire again today but was simply told to sign up to a email news link for updates. Although Car phone warehouse have it on their website.

Yep, just waiting on an answer from the O2 Twitter team.

I think the fact there has been no great fanfare from O2 about the Passport like there was for the iPhone 6, Galaxy S5 and other major new phones recently, speaks volumes.

Sad really, as I would leave work early tonight pop to my local O2 storeand pay off the remainder of my contract to get it...
