Blackberry releases new model ''Passport'' and is official; See photos

The BlackBerry Passport gets OFFICIAL in the UK today! Here's everything you need to know about specs, features and release dates

 The BlackBerry Passport is official, square, and soon to be getting a global release. Leaked eons ago as the “BlackBerry Windermere”, the Passport, as it’s now officially known, was outed by John Chen at BlackBerry’s recent earnings call. The phone is an odd beast, ditching conventional design for something… well, a bit different (it's the one in the middle).

The only question now is whether anyone will care? We'd argue, YES, they will! Just look online –– there’s a small, but very vocal bunch of people that are positively frothing at the mouth about the prospect of getting their paws on the BlackBerry Passport once it launches later on this quarter. And this is pretty easy to understand when you look at what the handset represents, because it is not just a comeback device, not entirely, anyway. No, the BlackBerry Passport is just about the most exciting handset BlackBerry has ever produced; the fact that it comes at a time when the company’s future is in question just serves as a means of raising the stakes.

The BlackBerry Passport is odd enough to stand out from the crowd and powerful enough to match anything from Android and iOS, at least for the time being. But where we think BlackBerry is going to make a lot of friends with this device is the battery – the Passport's is HUGE. And this is significant because A LOT of people consider battery life more important than OS, display AND things like what type of CPU the handset uses. Read more
