Worthy successor to the BlackBerry Q10 with many improvements

For a year I use the BlackBerry Q10.
For several months I have been following many forums on the topic BlackBerry Passport. On 24.09.2014 it was finally over. Just in time by 10 clock the Passport was launched in three cities. The stream could be followed live. I've previously enthusiastic about the technical data and the new features such as the touch-enabled keyboard, the large display and the battery life. So I ordered the unit on the evening of 24.09. before. Thursday 2.10. Amazon delivered via DHL the device directly to the front door.
The OVP of the BlackBerry Passports is already considerably larger than with other smartphones.
I opened the OVP and first saw the Passport live and in color. I just thought to myself that it's quite large.
The workmanship is very good, what I did not expect anything else. The Q10 was super processed and after one year new. Since nothing creaks. Everything still like to day. 1
I did not shilly-long. The simcard I cut with a cutter into the size of a nano-Sim. Pushed simcard from the Q10 in the Passport and started. Short set up and first surfed via WLAN in the browser. This runs much faster and smoother than in Q10. The Q10 was quite fast, but the Passport is even faster.
The contacts could be transferred quickly and easily via the App units change from Q10 on the Passport. This was straightforward, without cable, via WLAN.
The keyboard and gestures, to display the special characters that work very well. If you have committed to, you tap lightly on the keyboard and a ring (at the same time slightly enlarged which) appears. This can also move through light touch very closely and use words or fix a spelling error. It will be proposed during the writing and words, resulting in a convenient and fast writing.
The display more space and surfing the Internet is making it much more fun and productive. If one the Passport to the side, you can use the keyboard as a scrollbar. Internet forums you can read so well and you do not always zoom with two fingers and rumwischen on display. Fingerprints and smudges can be seen on the display of Passports barely. The Gorilla Glass 3 allows this hardly. In very bright rooms or in the sun, the display is very easy to recognize.
The dimensions of the device is not a problem for me. I then had my Nokia 9210, 9500, 9300 and the E90 Communicator (those were the days, unfortunately there is no longer this series) in your pocket.
The reactions of other people on the unit are as far as positive. All wonder about the strange form factor. Many press rum directly from the keyboard, and then my own but very fast: Then you can already touch better than on a touchscreen,
The voice quality of the passport is very good, no dropouts or the like could find until now. The different interlocutors were very positive and satisfied.
The BlackBerry Hub is not new, but still really awesome. With a mop has all its accounts: email, WhatsApp, BBM, in a menu together and can respond as quickly to important e-mails, etc..

The battery life is really great. I had my passport is not very often invite because overnight the airplane mode is activated. Thus, the battery is consumed at night hardly.
Many fellows who do not know Blackberry, always argue that there are no apps.
That's not, there is the BlackBerry World, where there are plenty of useful apps. A new addition is now officially the Amazon Appstore. Thus, you also need no longer linked to a Google Account.
I invite for a long time every day the free app of the day. This super run on the BlackBerry. You can also customize the apps on the large display of the passport. You can sweep in the app on top of the screen, from the top in the center of the screen, so you can zoom right on a button in or out. The App is closed, and after a restart of the app, this is adjusted.

You have to get used to the size and the keyboard. This takes 1-2 days. The device, it is definitely worth it. I like it very well, and it is a device, what stands out. The form factor is unique and you realize very quickly that the large display has many advantages.
I hope more people buy the device and thus help BlackBerry because the company and the employees have earned it simply. It's a great product that works mature, safe and reliable.
