Use Your BlackBerry Passport Again in 2023!

I can proudly say I've been carrying around my Passport again...

its like a brick. ALL OF THEM. its very hard to crack a blackberry phone. ( got Samsung + Iphone ) both screen look like they have been through ww4. Blackberry passport carried it for years. nada. Photos + videos still hiqh quality. I have to say im glad IPHONE and brought on alot of Blackberry "style" & technology to it phone 7 years later..

[@bwold9138]

I still miss it. I loved the size, the shape, how it fit my hand, the look and the durability. Such a good phone.

[@aarondaniels8428]

Facts!!

[@BlackRain.]

Agreed!

[@dannnnn809]

I still can't believe that Blackberry is gone in the Smartphone Industry. I've bought a Blackberry Classic, I feel the OS, Blackberry OS 10 is very good and I hardly find any lag. Everything went smoothly, if the Blackberry is still there. I'm sure the product and OS can compete with APPLE iOS

[@StevealiciousTech]

Absolutely!

So good device wander why nobody take that design again

maybe it's a stupid question but what do we need to do? I mean I am considering buying one in France (as cheap as 200 dollars in store) but will it work and what needs to be done in order to function? Sorry id it's stupid

[@soniakaur1355]

Ive been heartbroken over the end of Blackberry. I so want to get a Blackberry again.

[@Exedorable]

I'm def w/ you on the hardware front, nothing feels as solid as BlackBerry. Just took my Priv out for a another day or 2 out in the wild and man no amount of speed or modern apps replaces the joy of simply using this device - every text, every call

[@depressedsauce2898]

I bet that 808 chip was atrocious though 😂 otherwise I'd buy another one

[@wasknownasthemedriocre]

Thank you for the reviews! I just received my Unihertz Titan and can't wait to get it running. I had a few BlackBerry in the past (you know, a Canadian supporting a former Canadian company...) but never got into the hype since THEY NEVER had a rugged device. I've worked mobile tire service for over 10 years and now for the Agriculture department of my country and require a water resistant and shock resistant phone. I feel the titan will fill my need of a keyboard and android compatible device.

[@robsky588]

god I love that phone. the design is timeless

[@Comedy-y8o]

I still love blackberry this very day

Wow! Such good news. I wish Mintmobile to come here in Europe as well. Pure beauty that BB Passport.

Thankfully, in Europe, you should still be able to use it either way, I thought most European carriers still support all the way back to 2G.

It's a big shame these don't have VoLTE. My Verizon Classic still works on LTE with my Verizon postpaid and Red Pocket (T-Mobile) sims. If I use my Verizon sim, I can make no calls at all, due to the lack of CDMA. On T-Mobile calls work over GSM but it's a pretty bad experience
