im still using my passport every day! i friggin love this device.. looks so unique and runs so smooth its almost hard to tell its 7 years old. I get compliments on it all the time .. the camera is great, the speakers and headphone jack are top quality too. I love my Blackberry Passport!
The Passport was and still is pure class. The height of BlackBerry hardware engineering. I still use ny Silver Passport as a backup and it makes a great conversation starter!
Yes you can use the Blackberry Passport in 2021 but you will need to do extensive work arounds... And be aware that the Passport only has 9.5 months of support left from Blackberry. If these don't bother you, go ahead and enjoy!
I have been a Blackberry user since the 8700R. I just ordered a new passport as my key one is getting well used. Thank you for all the great tips and info!
Hey Bud 🤗 you’re the best blackberry reviewer to me! Thank to you I purchased mine last summer because of your video, definitely this device has so much to give still today and for more years ahead! Blackberry Passport ❤️ ciao 👋
Great video, bro! I have 4 Passports and I take one with me everywhere. It's also the best audio recording device I can find, using the Parrot recorder. I use the Passport for all my podcasts. The quality would amaze you. Thanks for sharing!
You're making me miss the BB10 devices! They were ahead of their time and Android is just not the same. Great video and love letter to the Passport. However, the Play Store, in my experience, can drain the battery considerably. The person (Cobalt) who came up with that solution doesn't even recommend it any more. the (forked) Yalp store is a lighterweight alternative. Just wanted to mention. The deviec is also great for emulators! And you can't beat that screen, keyboard, and speakers.
because you knew that one new superphone from BB will come out in 2021, a 5G version with this kind of capacitive keyboard and other goodies.... me.. done that too... sold it a while a go... and I am into a key2 now... waiting for the most wanted new flagship coming this year.
i just purchased one of these and everything was going well til after i left the t mobile store. i was able to make regular calls and texts. once i got home. the phone says emergency calls only. i called t mobile back i was told this phone is no longer compatible which i weird. Does anyone know of a carrier that will make it work in 2021?
Hi , thanks . I own one . Still very much useful 👍. Very nice video .. just subscribed.. can you help to get the android play store installed.. am getting some errors
the physical keyboard enables me to type long texts or email and input passwords without any typos or word substitutions. When I use my iPhone for messaging, half the time I am correcting typing mistakes or wrong autocorrect inputs. It gets OLD quickly. I just wish BB or any company will bring back the physical keyboard phone, be it with the latest Android. I've given up BB10 for dead!!!
Can you please tell me if you can download and run star wars galxy of heroes on the phone? I really want this phone but also need this game to work on ir
god bless you. that titan is a dog for looks i dont think i could ever carry it lol. the passport is on a whole differnt level as far as build quality and hand feel go
August 2021 and my Black Passport is still my daily driver, and it's still on the original battery! BB10 OS is still far, far, more pleasant and efficient to use than Android or iOS, and admittedly with a bit of work you have the Google Play Store + Apps. I came from an much loved and Hacked HTC Leo when my daughter broke it, bought a new Galaxy S6 Edge and hated it - what a POS, and while selling that bought my Passport second hand for next-to-nothing as a temporary phone... still using it and very happy. If it dies I'll get another. It will be a very sad day indeed when 'progress' forces me to abandon it - not because I imagine the phone will ever stop being a joy to use but simply because Google will eventually drop support for Android 4.0 on the Play Store. 4.0 is the version BB10 OS emulates when running Android apps... ...loading .apk's is fine by me and I'm happy with the apps I use but Android developers do like to lock users out their services if you aren't using the latest version. Eh, RUclips?!?
Not sure if why anyone would want now as a 5G blackberry is months away. Nonetheless, key2 is the best option in 2021 as you still get security patches and full access to play store. It was a great phone but sadly it's losing a lot of its functionality.
Im going to let you know when it happens. Noone knows yet ,we can only speculate that the blackberry services will stop working and that the 4gLTE wont work but that could be just speculation.

1:06 I see you downloaded Swordigo✊🏿really cool game!
thanks for the positive review! i just purchased the limited red blackberry passport.
I bought one silver edition 👍 2021
I hear that after it's killed out the text and calling won't work anymore. I was going to buy one yesterday. Should I still get one?
Any hope for OS 10? that will be the end of it from January of 2022? it is only a paper weight after OS10 is over. The best business machine ever.
Blackberry! Major nostalgia
Thanks for stopping by Patrick,congrats on your growth keep up the great work

sell one to me
What podcast app do you use on your passport?
Shout out from Moncton New Brunswick 🇨🇦 love your channel!
Why your blackberry looks different? Its square -ish? What version is that? Or did you modified it? Looks like silver edition but color black?
It's the limited at&t version version check link below
My Passport and Bold are still working without any issues, despite the servers being decommissioned.
Another great video 👊🏽
♥️
Is it worth buying? I wonder if that's true that the text and calls will stop working.
I will check
damn that's crazy

I use mine a lot for the sound performance
I like how they still have the small keyboard on the phone.
Come back blackberry?
IS Google silenced on this phone? if yes I want one.
Yes
Looking forward to re-buy this phone! Why did I sell it before?????

What’s good bro you should do a review on the unihertz titan.
I would but it's 350 right now and yeah there are better phones rn for the money, plus nothing can really replace the og passport
We need a Passport with actual specs and Android and then it will sell like Butter....
yes i agree
Those games works in Z10 or Leap 🤔
Yeah, it works

How did you install google playstore
Isn't BlackBerry shutting down its servers so most of the apps on the device wont work properly including the desktop come 2022

you mean BB passport has google app store now?
its a custom feature that the user must add on to the passport

how about video calls on facebook messenger? Does it work?
Yes. WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram calls and video calls works well, as well as on another chat apps.
@@axamesvc how? i cannot get video or audio calls to work on facebook messenger
@@axamesvc i changed to keyOne (now Key2) after Whatsapp stopped supporting BB Passport.

Yes it never stopped working on mine
No, FB messenger won't work for video calls. Just messaging. WhatsApp and Telegram work, though, as another poster provided.

Can the passport work on Verizon?
I don't know I use AT&T with mine and t mobile I have never used Verizon because they are cdma

Check the play store to see if the game is compatible with android version 4.4 if it is it will work
Personally I'd go for the Unihertz Titan
Nobody cares

Where in NYC are you. I could of sworn I saw you but you had a mask on.
I wish they would at least update the android runtime to the new android
Google won't allow it.
What happens on 4th Jan 2022 when end of life support ends
Im going to let you know when it happens. Noone knows yet ,we can only speculate that the blackberry services will stop working and that the 4gLTE wont work but that could be just speculation.
Am still using mine as my primary email device 🙂
I keep forgetting about blackberry Lil brother 😂😂😂
♥️
no apps now.
Unfortunately blackberry os is dead!
All the old blackberry phones will be shut down on the first month of2022, that's what i heard.
@Nafsal nzr there so many videos about it on professional channel check it out.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I totally forgot that Blackberry existed 😂😂
Using mine - shall never swap with android samshit bullshit
Can you do a video downloading this android game called "TACTICOOL", I'm thinking about buying a Blackberry Passport since it carries a SD801 chipset.
