it was headed to mississauga and the blackberry owners were mostly people that looked like they worked in the financial district (assholes) mostly newer z-whatever devices. a few bolds or whatever the older ones with the keyboards are called.

Bonzo posted:Holy poo poo look at this thing That sounds like a winner to me. Now that the OS is basically done (upgrades and tweaks only), the ability to focus on the tech specs is where it is at. Chen did say they are looking at dual sim tech, but added he could not discuss...hmmm. The dual sim would perfect the balance feature!

Don't round it off at all please!!!! No way!!!!!! If you do it will loose it's x-factor!! C00121953 channel for car freaks!!

Bonzo posted:Holy poo poo look at this thing two passages stuck out: quote:have purchased every single iPhone. My biggest complaint about how thin they are is that, as they get thinner, they become increasingly more difficult to pick up off of a table if they are not in a case.  quote:The UI has changed just a bit, but I'm not getting into software in this pre-review. The camera is crisp. Autofocus has never been faster on a BlackBerry when it comes to the rear camera. Photos are crisp and the zoom does it justice. Low light photographs are much better but burst photography still needs some work. Shutter speed is definitely faster that any of the Samsung devices out there, but it's not an 'iPhone killer' by any means. also lol @ 3 second "shutter speed" for hdr in 2014

also like this thing has a 1440 pixel square screen. you wouldn't think it would be important to mention whether not the camera is taking square shots or 3:2 pictures or at what resolution in an age where camera functionality moves smartphones 3:2 shots bother me enough on a 16:9 iphone 5s god knows what they'd be like on a square screen

i was an intern at a building trains company once and there was this blackberry laying around to be delivered to an executive later in the day. i grabbed it and tried to visit the largest online news site on it and it was dreadfully slow even though it was connected to wifi. the site didnt even load and crashed before i could even read anything. unfortunately the browser autosaved the open webpages and the browser just kept crashing every time you opened it. i just put it back and hoped no one would notice. thats my blackberry story, ive avoided them like poison since. thanks.

Editor's Note: This is a pre release pre-review of the BlackBerry Passport. It was written by @halobandit based on his views of using the device personally. I m the halo bandit. no, I'm the cognitive dissonance. For a second it felt like I was picking up a sexy new twist to the original Gameboy and that's a compliment. as in long ago deprecated? The keys are smoother than anything before. They're almost a tad slippery. Also, it's really wide. I know the screen is just as tall, but the keyboard makes it feel wide. I had a passerby say it looked like a flattened Sidekick. he must be in a very retro hipster neighbourhood for some passerby to remember the sidekick. I have purchased every single iPhone. My biggest complaint about how thin they are is that, as they get thinner, they become increasingly more difficult to pick up off of a table if they are not in a case. The Passport has dealt with it. #fathandsrejoice #upgrade2bb You will have fewer things in the pocket thanks to the Passport, but it fits and it's snug. like I won't have to put my iPad mini in my pocket anymore? This model has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of on-board memory, though I did add a 64 GB SD card myself. funny how RAM in a smart phone has become not an indication of how well it performs but how badly it's OS + touchwiz + ??? are optimized. Finally, there is an easily accessible nano SIM slot to allow for easy SIM switching without the battery interfering. It isn't the easiest to remove, but it's debatable whether that's a good thing or not since it's very sturdy. actually this is good for blackberry because Not only can you be fancy like the keyboard on the Z10, Q10 and Z30, the keyboard is in fact touch sensitive. It's like the trackpad of a MacBook and you feel as if every part of the phone knows what you want it to do. actually very cool, almost like the keyboard itself is a touch screen... My faith in this BlackBerry has been shaky but I can say now that it's a strong device that makes you feel important, powerful, productive and ready to take on the world. For those of you you think it's bulky, when it comes to devices, the Passport is a Brooklyn bouncer in an Armani Suit. tired of being a skinny nerd at the beach? bulk up and get the alpha dog of phones.
