"feels good in the hand" is like the ultimate tell that someone has no idea about design or anything

basically if you get a review of something that already seems pretty poo poo where they don't even mention "feels good in the hand", it's such a crappy product that there's nothing to say to redeem it.

some of the comments on joanna's review are really really sexist but more importantly super mad about the cheese thing

In thinking about it, this review could stand in as a metaphor for women in the workplace. Mrs Stern doesn't need a "work phone" she needs one that she can use to play on... and play at business. When given a power tool to use she finds that she is not comfortable with it. I'm sure this would also be true if she was given a power saw, a major court case, a billion or two to manage or a major story to report.

Mrs Stern, like her children, should stick with the iPhone. It is made for women and children to use. Easy to use and to master, the iPhone will not tax their intellect or their (limited) attention.

Typical MSM review of a BB technology. Apple can put cow dung in a box and said reviewer will be declaiming its cutting edge technology and 'cool' factor. I bought a Passport. Blows iphone and android away and is easily the best phone I have used. In fact ms reviewer the PP is a Phablet - meaning it is supposed to be larger than your little iphone 4 and the target market are high end professionals who use a lot of data, files, or need a productivity tool. Not housemoms and teenies who cling to their Apple bibles. Male professionals will love the PP. Females interested in 'chatting', snapchatting, and pretty colors will stay with their bendable iphones. Media is so far in the bag for Apple it is embarrassing.

I really want to know what all these Serious Business dudes actually do for a living because "lead tech writer for one of the world's most popular media outlets" seems like more of a real job than "regional sales manager for a cardboard box company"

It is critical that we remember the real victims of the Holocaust: the Soviets.

Claiming that the Holocaust was about Jews is Zionism. Biden is doing it to provide cover to Israel!

Amidst the iCloud hacking scandal, the iPhone 6 Bluetooth connectivity issue with cars, Apple pulling back its faulty software update which left phones unusable, the iPhone 6 Plus device bending under pressure, a rather nasty bug that exposed yet another major Apple security flaw with their HealthKit apps, and the U2 album that was invasively installed in everyone’s iCloud account without anyone’s permission, the BlackBerry Passport still managed to receive the most criticism and mockery from, what seems to be, an Apple/Android “zombified” media.
finally, someone willing to point to the flaming corpse of apples credibility in the wake of the iphone 6 bluetooth car connectivity scandal
