Well, this has been a long time coming so, sit back relax and enjoy a good nearly three minute hands-on video with the BlackBerry Passport. In the video, you get a nice look at the hardware everyone is waiting to get their hands on and although the video is chopped a bit to cover up the PIN, you get to see that capacitive keyboard in action. It's hard to say going by video how final this device is but it certainly looks pretty sweet.

BlackBerry Passport gets caught in hands-on video and fresh images!

The keyboard is your scrollbar and is rectangular... so in landscape mode you can make linger swipes while still keeping your digits off the screen.

I have watched this video two times a day since it was posted.
It is so special this phone. This is exactly what blackberry users, well at least majority need. Wide screen amazing keyboard with captive. This is the greatest thing that has ever came out of BlackBerry.
To Jim and Mike what do you guys think of John Chen? If I had to guess your probably saying wow this is who we should have hired 6 years ago.
Thank you Prem Watsa you were the one who believed in the company and had vision.

The only thing that can fuck this device up is Facebook for BB10!!! That and not dropping this phone simultaneously, world wide. This device should be available everywhere @ the same exact time.

Upon the passports release, does anyone know which company's will be rolling these out? AT&T didn't jump on board with the Z30 although I do own one LTE does not work in my area with this phone..... Z10 was super fast Internet on LTE
Posted via CB10
I guess I'm just someone who ever cared. About form factor; all I care about is functionality. I use a Q10 because it was all that was available from Sprint and my wife is under contract until October. The Q10 tethered to the Playbook works well, but I am highly receptive to either the Passport or the Z30 as a replacement for both. The timing of the Passport release works perfectly for the end of our contract, and I'd be shocked if Sprint ever carries another Blackberry.

Screen rotation and browser seem as slow as 10.3 on my Z10.
With the new BlackBerry coming out I better sell my old BlackBerry before the value of it drops. I usually search 12 different sites to find the best offer, but I just found this company that compares all the buyback companies in one spot, it’s called www.recomhub.com.
It’s like Kayak but for electronic devices that show you all the offers in one spot.
Why can't they program that same thing on the z30 and z10 virtual keyboard?
So when you are trying to edit text, all you have to do is scroll thru the virtual keyboard.
Posted via CB10
The scrolling seemed very jerky and not fluid in video. Hoping they work on it before its released. And looked like he was accidentally selecting stuff while scrolling.

I prefer having NO device videos than having to look at such crappy ones...!
Dear amateurial Tarantinos out there:
- Think about what you want to show with your video...
- Write it down...
- Depending on what you want to show, e.g. OS, think about where it's shown in a good way... wanna show the scrolling keyboard? Then think in what app(s) it knocks you out (browser, contact list or wherever you think it looks great)
- write down what you precisely wanna/have to do...
- do a sort of mini storybook... already just to find the right sequence of the stuff you want to show
- play it through w/o camera and look at it from the view of the "audience" (Keep in mind, the audience is mostly ignorant...)
- did you find something may look confusing to the "audience"??? Rectify it, or scratch the part...
- place/fix your camera, press play and don't touch it anymore... you're filming a device video, not the Blairwitch Project 23 - The revenge of the iPhones...
- Go through your script and don't improvise... don't forget to press record...
I would go so far and say it took me longer to write this down than go through the steps above... oh wait... i forgot... i flick on a Z30... :-)
This video is the result... A wannabee video of someone who doesn't really know what he wants to do and even worse, the phone doesn't really know what to do either... no wonder, it may think it's controlled by a monkey... and that's what 1000s get to see... by the way, I even go so far to claim that these crappy videos are the reason for the myth "BB10 is not user friendly... learning curve... laggy... bla bla bla"... what a pity!

Awesome = Z30
I love the phone and am absolutely going to be first in line, EE better have an early upgrade deal since I got my z10 on day one.
The video however doesn't fully showcase how great the phone is going to be, which is a shame. Because the editing is so choppy it makes the phone look un dynamic.

Nice video. Hope they show more videos briefing its feature before official release of this phone.
Cant wait!!!! Those of you bitching about square screen, gtfo and go by another phone. To each his/her own. I like the square screen.

Clearly this was taken at an Arabian country where it is being tested by a GSM operator, the Arabic keyboard is unmistakable and I always thought it ruined the BlackBerry keyboard as it was crowded with all sorts of letters.
Looking good so far, not sure I'll trade my Z30 for a passport just yet.
Posted via CB10
Wake me up when its September!!
Seriously, for everyone who thinks square screen is stupid, think again, the phone could not have be any wider, or longer, it would just be not easy to handle, unless u compromise on the keyboard comfort, this way it is ur wide screen or ur vertical screen as u like, but with just extra screen on the other 2 sides, stop crying.

Video gives error, removed already ?
I am a big fan of large size phones. But I an still not sure about the size and ratio of Passport.
Capacitive physical keyboard is definitely a fantastic innovation. I am sure a lot of professional consumers will want to make the switch from their current phones to Passport.
I still feel that BlackBerry should not procrastinate further. Specification rules in today's market place. It is high time they bring out specification rich phones to the market.
Lot of people do serious reading on their phones nowadays. BlackBerry need a 5.7" devise with superior specs to compete the likes of Samsung Note 3, Sony Xperia and Nokia Lumia.

While I am still not a fan of shape and the sharp corners, and this is from someone who does use his "other" passport sometimes 200 days a year, I do think it has the possibility to be an iconic device. Iconic in that is is instantly recognised, has good specs and performs well. But perhaps, ultimately a niche device.
Nonetheless, I would like to know more about the keyboard.
1. This morning I was on the tube holding the grip with one hand, using the Q10 with one hand, talking to colleagues, at times typing by touch. Obviously the shape/design of the keys and the size of the Q. Want to see a video with one hand typing.
2. As I work in different languages, how to shift quickly and efficiently between languages. And other special characters
3. Working a great deal in HK, Singapore, Tokyo, etc., how does the dual function keyboard / trackpad deal with humidity? Both my Q10 and Z30 are often challenged, that is the humidity and perspiration make it difficult to use the touchscreen effectively, but with the Q I can continue with just the keyboard.
4. When I use two hands with the Q, I can keep one hand, or finger on the keyboard while I swipe or select with the other hand. With the Passport, will I have to keep fingers free of the keyboard while I touch the screen or use the keyboard as the trackpad?
In summary, curious and intrigued, but reserve judgement until Vodafone and Smartone notify me for a test when the unit arrives.
I love my zed 10-best phone in the world....and That video made me drool.the guy wasn't comfortable with a smartphone from the looks of it, but he showed me enough to make me Want THIS PHONE...WANT A PASSPORT NOW .MR CHEN TAKE MY MONEY...
The keyboard blows me away! The passport is going to be the biggest phone to hit the market in years, and its going to be a status symbol among the rich and powerful.paint it in every color of the rainbow, bling,it to death and everyone world wide will want one. Captain Kirk, your new communicator has arrived.....
One thing is for sure- it's going to cause all of us hardcore crackberryians to drop to our knees at least once a day, face Waterloo and give thanks for Mr.chen and this awesome drool inspiring gift were about to receive.
Want want want want want!!!!!

How Blackberry could release the BlackBerry z3 before release Blackberry 10.3 OS?? Thats a fatal decission, cause the people who use Blackberry 10 do not need another Blackberry 10 devices, z30 and Q30 more than enough for us, we just only need Blackberry 10.3 OS. If Blackberry want we love Blackberry again, you must release Blackberry 10.3 OS, not another devices with Blackberry 10.2 OS!
Thank so much!

so with a square aspect ratio and a qwerty keyboard, why would you ever want the screen to rotate?
When consuming media, it may be more comfortable to hold it sideways and use the keypad to move your cursor.

Looks OK.
Have to say, not impressed.
It's still slow. When I swipe up or open an app I want no lag.
I thoight 10.3 would be a massive jump. But it isn't. It's just a mild better action than 10.2.9.38.47.47.58.38.3.244.244.
Verdict: unimpressed. And that's as a BlackBerry fan.
Posted via Z10, UK based (Good luck Bla1ze as EiC!)
How on earth do you know that the Passport is slow? Nothing has been officially launched.
They are most likely using a beta 10.3 OS for the purpose of bug fixing and device enhancements.
The Pre- Z30 was also slow, and it ended up Bloody Fast when released.
Posted on my Q5
I mean from looking at that video it barely looks much quicker than my Z10..
And so in that basis I made my judgement. I may stand to be corrected, you are right it could be Beta bit it's just how I feel.
My verdict, from that video alone, is "not overly impressed".
Is it meant to be dual core or quad core?

Me too. The characters on the physical keyboard seem too widely spaced. Also, I see very few large Galaxy phones now. Many people clearly don't like the form factor in a phone. I don't want to wear a headset all the time, so "can I hold this to my ear?" is a highly relevant question.

Maybe the frets in the keyboard is interrupting the scrolling function that's why it's better if you use it in landscape while scrolling up and down? But I'm sure there's a setting for sensitivity just like legacy devices..

Unfortunately for me ATT will never offer this device...
Now ShopBlackBerry.com just needs to come up with a payment plan so you can buy outright without the upfront sticker shock. Or buy it using a credit line and pay it down using your own repayment schedule.

does not come with hdmi output?
Presumably through the charging port or so I read somewhere.

Pretty cool stuff. Thanks.
Interesting thing about the capacitive touch physical keyboard in the video. It would have been nice to see some action on the keyboard though.

I think I'll be getting one when it's available!

Come September!!!!

Why do I get a hunch that Classic will be completely outshined by Passport..
Posted via CB10 on my Z30
Hey the keys have orange characters on them too!
I want this even more now! :o I can't wait to see it in white.
Yeah I'm sold. I'm getting it asap. No doubt. I was considering holding out for a possible Z50 but who knows when that drops next year. I'll worry about that when that time comes. Passport, take my money!
BlackBerry 4Life
end of september... it's very long... next video will probably show us the flip up for predictive words ability?
definitely my next device!
Amazing! :)

I can bet the lag response is solely related to Internet speed the user was currently experiencing.
I want one! Looks like a beast of a communicator.

Lmao!!! very funny
@Jtaylor....Scott Towels?
That keyboard is crazy cool, nice!! Thx

Pretty impressive.... I'm starting to lean........

So what is the purpose of the keyboard again, other than for a cursor? With a screen that big and a virtual keyboard doesn't make much sense, then again this is BB

Too much lagging and slow internet and keyboard scrolling needs to be more efficient.

OMG! This is so crazy amazing.

Sweeet!! Why don't they just use something like the setup video on the phone where it shows you how to use it - as a commercial? Only with some music or something in the background...that should get people interested as to how the phone works. ;)
Nothing so special

WOW... Just WOW!!!!!!!!... I want this phone now more than ever!. Absolute beauty!
Going to be another amazing product from #Blackberry!

I have to agree with most. This guy doesn't know BB10 at all, and therefore actually made the Passport look bad. He also doesn't know how to type on a physical keypad. I am not sure if he has even used a smart phone before......literally that was a horrible demonstration.

There is seriously still a RIM sticker on the device....
Probably still a lot of stickers left over in some drawer.
And they'd probably miss the ahem, ... job references... :-)

At the 26 second mark on the home it looked like he had 6 active frames. How cool would it be to have 12 active frames?

Its the device of the year!! Great for me!!
Amazing this passport! Thanks man...
Really liking the looks of this!

SQW 100-1 it's the model?
Wow

This device, once it becomes available, will fly off the shelf.
This will be the business community's wet dream for mobile devices. In fact, anyone who is a multimedia, Internet surfer, and productivity users, as well.
Posted via CB10
LOL, while I don't like that visual too much, I have to agree with you.
More like drip off the shelf.
I will say it will be a one if a kind phone, that's for sure.
Very good phone for a very limited market.
Using a BlackBerry Z10! The "UnDroid"!
I don't know that the market is very limited at all - I would think that almost every legitimate business professional on the planet would be interested in this device.
Agree, first time Qwerty keyboard buyer for the Passport. Blackberry nailed this one.
Fly off the shelf? Yeah, I want the drugs you are taking. Get ready for the oh they didn't promote it, the att store doesn't have it on display blah blah blah..... it's a cool phone, but again, NO ECOSYSTEM
So, other than the great launches of the Z3, how do you know Mr. Chen would do anything like the old crew? No one knows for sure, but it's pretty obvious this is not the same BlackBerry you speak of.
