BlackBerry Passport

Don't call it a comeback for BlackBerry just yet…

Solid, well-built design ; Decent battery life ; Improved BlackBerry operating system

Heavy and awkward to use in one hand ; Keyboard setup is very frustrating to use ; Android app support is buggy

This square aspect works well for work, but as soon as you start thinking about using the screen for more fun things like watching YouTube videos, it becomes a problem. A 16:9 ratio video is clearly not a good fit, which means you have to contend with...

BlackBerry Passport review

Is this the phone to reboot the 'Berry?

Great battery ; Excellent build ; Loads of RAM ; BlackBerry Hub

Impossible to use one-handed ; Lack of apps ; Interface unresponsive at times ; High price

Blackberry's faith has been placed in a device very much suited to a particular type of customer. The specs and features are all there, but the form factor falters against conventional devices.

BlackBerry Passport review: It's not hip to be square

The BlackBerry Passport breaks smartphone design tradition and offers something we've never seen the likes of before: a square display in a device with (you guessed it) a passport-sized footprint. The Canadian company certainly had to do something...

Email power tools, battery life is fantastic, BlackBerry Blend's potential and BB10.3 a great update, swipe keyboard

Design, lack of BlackBerry specific apps, keyboard issues, did we mention the design?

Overall the BlackBerry Passport is perplexing. We can't for the life of us work out who it has been designed for, how it was approved, and why BlackBerry thought that a square screen with massive keyboard and bulky chassis would be a success - even for...

Blackberry Passport Silver Edition Review: In Depth

Blackberry Passport Silver Edition review: The stainless steel silver version of Blackberry's Passport phone is about to hit the UK and here's our verdict.

Professional, attractive design ; Touch-responsive keyboard ; Sharp, vibrant screen ; Capable camera

Unwieldy ; Screen not optimised for many apps or media ; Missed opportunity

BlackBerry Passport Review: In Depth

After a stint of silence whilst the company collected itself, the new BlackBerry Passport is here. But what exactly does it offer?

Stunning, albeit unorthodox display ; Great battery life ; BlackBerry Hub keeps you organised ; Great all-round camera

Design is an ergonomic nightmare ; Awkward typing experience ; Square display doesn’t suit most apps, pictures and videos

The BlackBerry Passport is a very good phone. All the staples the company is known for are rock solid: tools for productivity, call quality, message management and battery longevity. The 10.

BlackBerry Passport will be great for a few, and awful for many. And that makes it cool

The BlackBerry Passport is a smartphone like no other, and for that we commend it. Whether that makes it a good buy will depend on your circumstances.

BlackBerry Passport review

Right out of the gate let me say this: the BlackBerry Passport is not for everyone. On looks alone many users will eschew its charms. It is a niche product built for what remains of BlackBerry's core userbase. It is the most BlackBerry BlackBerry I...

The BlackBerry Passport is not for everyone. The Passport is designed to be used as a productivity tool, in the workplace. As such it is powerful and versatile, and for those who want a portable productivity device with a hardware keyboard it will be a...

BlackBerry Passport review

The BlackBerry Passport is a pure productivity machine, and emblematic of the company's professional, business-focused mindset. It's packing powerful hardware, a slew of clever features, and a great foundation in BlackBerry OS 10.3, which is poised to...

The BlackBerry Passport offers powerful hardware and a clever keyboard that makes for a great reading and editing experience.

That squat, square shape makes it awkward to use. Amazon's app store lacks some key apps found on Google Play.

The BlackBerry Passport's bullish focus on productivity spawns a fantastic keyboard, but its blocky shape makes one-handed use difficult.

BlackBerry finds silver lining for Passport blues

BlackBerry reveals the Silver Edition Passport -- the same strangely-shaped phone but with a shiner case, a few small tweaks and a higher $549 price tag.
