ahmeni posted:But none of this changes one fact: The Passport is big. Super big. So big that I could show it to my kids’ friends and convince most of them that it is some sort of Cro-Magnon relic from the 1990s. My iPhone often ended up in a shirt pocket. But that feels awkward with the Passport. In fact, there are a few shirts I own that actually do not permit this without busting the pocket stitching. When I asked my wife to try it with some of her blouses, she couldn’t get the Passport to fit in any of them. Even in my pants, the Passport was an awkward fit. It really only makes sense in a jacket, briefcase or purse. So to state the obvious: This business-oriented phone is hardly the ideal phone for, say, the beach or hiking trail. current headline is Why I ditched my iPhone for Blackberry’s massive new Passport, the url has it as why-im-hooked-on-the-clunky-new-blackberry-passport-the-worlds-first-male-gendered-smartphone

further laffs from that review:quote:Because of its radically different form, the Blackberry Passport alters the very idea of a Smartphone in a manner that must be termed existential. With my iPhone, I’d gotten used to lazily holding it in my right hand, casually swiping through tweets and emails with my thumb as I drank coffee with my left. The Passport, on the other hand, demands the commitment of two hands, because (in my case, at least) the right thumb can’t get past the T button. That sounds like a drawback, and it certainly feels like one when, say, you’re using an umbrella or trying to keep a door open for someone in an office building lobby. But it also made me less tempted to use the Passport at times when a person really, really shouldn’t be using a Smartphone — such as when you’re stuck in traffic. "impractically huge... but that's a feature!!"

Cold on a Cob posted:stop posting reviews of my dillz pls quote:Over the last month, numerous strangers have approached me to ask about my dillz. They are always men. The women I’ve shown my dillz to — including female colleagues, my wife and her friends — seem vaguely horrified by the thing. Even with two hands, my dillz feels like something that fell off the bottom of an old fridge. I assure them that they’d get used to it in a few days, if they give it a chance. But the starkly boxy aesthetics scare them off.

http://live.theverge.com/Kim-Kardashian-live-from-code-mobile/ JOSH LOWENSOHN 4:54:40 PM PDT Kim says she had early issues with people thinking the was shilling stuff for companies when she was really posting something she likes. She notes that when she has an endorsement deal there's like a tweet or month, but that she's never put a price tag on it. What would it be worth though? More than $10,000, probably. No joke. JOSH LOWENSOHN 4:55:55 PM PDT Swisher asks about her favorite phone. Yep. She says it's still a BlackBerry, though she has an iPhone. The reason why, she explains, is to type out angry emails. She uses a BlackBerry Bold that they don't sell in stores anymore, so she buys them on eBay until they break. "I have anxiety that I will run out, and that BlackBerry will go extinct ... I'm on a mission to make that not happen." JOSH LOWENSOHN 4:56:37 PM PDT Kim says that she has a BlackBerry Passport, but hasn't turned it on. so is blackberry just trying to avoid the "tweeted from iphone" stuff with tim allen and now her

http://blogs.blackberry.com/2014/10/classic-john-chen/quote:BlackBerry is driven by an urgent, obsessive focus on what matters: you. When we lose sight of what you want and you need, we lose you. Just talked to some buddies I have that still work there. This is just the Q10 hardware (which is 2 years old) with a trackpad. I bet you anything they try to sell this for $600.

A Pinball Wizard posted:are you loving serious basically yes. officially they have multiple DCs for different regions. in practice, from what we saw during the week long outages a while back that affected multiple continents, and from scuttlebutt around waterloo, no they have one DC that's routing traffic for BB worldwide. if it goes through blackberry enterprise server, it goes through a DC somewhere in or near waterloo
