One of the reason why I still love BlackBerry Passport & BB10.

Yes.

Passport with bigger battery and new form factor of PKB.

Classic (Q20) with smaller battery but toolbelt.

Both are winners though. cool2.gif

nope.

but on the "not so bad side" of things, one of the updates (i'm not so sure if the latest update supports Android runtimes because there was an update / beta once that actually removed the android runtime) restores android runtime functionality.

Unlike the playbook (which was stuck with froyo level runtime which still had to be converted to .bar), the passport supports up to jellybean (or was it kitkat), but most apps (at the lowest) are still running at ice-cream sandwich, which means that BlackBerry Passport can still support a lot of android apps. Just that you'll have to be mentally prepared that no proper notifications will pop in.

I haven't seen nor heard anyone tried BlackBerry Launcher (for Android) in a BlackBerry Passport. I've heard and known many other BlackBerry 10 users using other android launchers in OS10 (out of 6 slots, permanently pin launcher on 1 slot LOL), but i've never heard of anyone using BlackBerry Launcher for Android in BlackBerry Passport. May have some good or bad consequences.

BlackBerry KeyOne (Mercury) LEAKED

The BlackBerry KeyOne (known in leaks under its BlackBerry Mercury codename) official webpage has just gone live prematurely, hours before the company's event at MWC 2017 starts. And it reveals a ton of interesting details about the new phone.

The BlackBerry KeyOne is the newest and most powerful 'Berry with a full QWERTY keyboard and the largest ever battery in a BlackBerry. An interesting detail to remember while reading about this new 'Berry is that the phone is now actually made by TCL, while BlackBerry is a licensing partner, but will not handle the actual sales and distribution of the phone. With this in mind, here are all the important features of the KeyOne:


Android 7.1 Nougat on board
4.5-inch scratch-resistant, 1620 x 1080-pixel display, 3:2 ratio
Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 Octa-core chip
3GB RAM, 32GB on-board storage
Dimensions of 149.3 x 72.5 x 9.4mm, 180g weight
Smart QWERTY keyboard
12MP rear camera (Sony IMX378 sensor) with 4K video at 30 fps, f/2.0 lens
8MP fixed-focus front cam, 1080p video
3,505 mAh battery, 50% charge in 36 minutes
USB Type-C



As with any BlackBerry, the focus here is on the full QWERTY keyboard with customizable actions to each key and the ability to swipe on the keys, as well as on the full suite of security features and BlackBerry messaging services.

The phone has a nice design too, with a soft touch back material, an all-day battery life and the latest version of Android, 7.1 Nougat on board. The main 12-megapixel camera also features the excellent Sony IMX378 sensor, the same one as in the Google Pixel, which is currently one of the best camera phones out there.

NO SUPPORT FOR VERIZON AND SPRINT 4G LTE BANDS
Interestingly, the North American (U.S.) version of the BlackBerry KeyOne does not support all of the essential 4G LTE bands required by Verizon Wireless and Sprint, so it will likely only work with AT&T and T-Mobile. Here is the full list of 4G LTE bands supported by the U.S. bound version of the KeyOne: bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30. Check which 4G LTE bands are required by each U.S. carrier here.
