I’m also a Passport user and LOVE it. It’s the best BlackBerry I’ve ever used (even though I’d still prefer the full 4 row keyboard). I’d much rather BB10 get a full Android runtime with Google Services than a BB skinned Android.

As someone who uses a Passport and thinks that BB10 is the best mobile OS, I’d much rather better Android integration on BB10 rather than a straight up Android BlackBerry.

I’m actually driving a 5-spd 97 Stratus these days. Sure it’s old, but the highway mileage keeps it around.

I’m currently driving a 97 Stratus 5-spd, bought in 2006. I’ve put a hell lot of money into it over the years (on my 3rd alternator, engine rebuild in 2010 - got to love interference, plenty more), but this car give me some of the best highway mileage. I love this car!

Good for BlackBerry. Loving my Passport.

It's hysterical that whenever BlackBerry brings out a new device, everyone says "oh it's more of the same" meanwhile there's a ocean of glass slabs that are all the same (innard not included). I for one look forward to seeing what this slider does. I just got a Passport (already love it) and I will keep sticking to…

I'm glad for this map. All I see are revenue generators. I can't stand the 25 mph limit or Vision Zero. Are there bad drivers out there? Absolutely, but what's going on with VZ is BS. I just see revenue generation.

I don't see any reason why. BB10 is actually good, plus there's the whole security part of it. Android will never be that secure.

While this is kind of cool, it still doesn't beat an actual physical keyboard. As long as BlackBerry makes (definitely more than mediocre) smartphones, I'll keep buying them.

I was one of the those college students who used Napster from 98-2000. I used it to download songs of a band that I was just starting to get interested in . . .

I will definitely be picking one of these up.

Another day, another BlackBerry article that everyone bashes. $599 for what the Passport has, off contract? Sign me up. This will be my next smartphone.

There's no tactile feedback, so how can you be sure what key you're pressing. I don't see how typing speeds are faster on a virtual keyboard without that. I know if I'm hitting the right key or not on my Q10. Besides, it's not as if the key travel distance between normal and pressed is so big. It's just enough to…

Because a physical keyboard will ALWAYS be better than a virtual one (at least to me).

BB10 landfill? Really? As a Q10 owner and user, BlackBerry 10 is definitely not a landfill. As for the P'9983, it's actually more than a Q10 inside, having BlackBerry 10.3 and 64GB of storage. This is a nice device, but it's coming out a little too late with the Passport out soon. I know my next smartphone will…

Exactly, they aren't even looking at the Bronx.

BlackBerry ISN'T dead yet. That 0% figure is definitely not true. I like the fact that the portal is out there now to combat all the FUD that's out there about BlackBerry.

HTC Mogul

I have a 'consistently functioning, well constructed phone': a Q10.

Well this press release came out earlier this week (with little to no coverage outside of CrackBerry): BlackBerry 10/DoD Full Operational Capability
