I use WhatsApp a lot and was distressed to find that they were not going to support its use on Blackberry OS from Jan 2017. The Priv runs on Android so you can have Blackberry keyboard, Blackberry hub AND Whatsapp. There is a helpline for folk moving from Blackberry 10/Classic/etc to the Priv and all the Google apps. It was relatively easy to change. I like the camera and the screen but the size is not as handy as my Blackberry 10 but the versatility and the apps are such an improvement, I can adjust to the size.

Personally the blackberry passport is my favourite phone ever! For those wondering what the difference is between the original passport and the silver edition, apart from the silver body and change in the camera design (not specifications) , is the feel of the keyboard. It's much more softer and reduces typing fatigue to a minimum. That was one of the concerns I had with the original black passport. Now the phone itself, this is the phone that showcases the power of blackberry os 10. The os in my opinion is the most underrated os ever. The reason for its lack of success boils down to the timing of its release. By the time it came out, ios and android had already established themselves with huge app ecosystems. That's where the catch came, barring a few dev, most dev decided to see how popular these phones became before effectively developing apps for it and consumers were reluctant to buy these for lack of apps. Let's put this straight out there, the app situation isn't that great as a result. However, whatever the passport does, it does it well. Communications wise, email, BBM et al, this is second to none. I wouldn't say the same about ios to be honest. The native ios mail app sucks and apps like spark and outlook deliver emails in the delayed fashion. Bb10 in my opinion has the best of both worlds, stable os like ios and flexible like android (access to file system). To top it it's quite secure as well. The app gap can be addressed by side loading Google play store but it's not that great to be honest. Barring all that, the ease of use, the unique uncommon design and the touch sensitive keyboard add a lot to what is one of the best phones out there. If you are not crazy about apps, then this is the phone!Read full review

The physical keyboard means the whole screen remains viewable when typing, and half the screen is not eaten up by an on-screen keyboard. I run my whole business on this phone - it is intuitive and awesome. Infinite Android ecosystem + Blackberry organising software shell on top (+ security) makes this the best phone for serious productivity. Also beautiful screen, crystal clear audio and long long battery life even when I am hammering away with multiple apps all day....

I had the original Passport which I liked but decided to upgrade. The Silver edition is in my view superior. The keyboard is easier to use, although the original is ok. The SE It's lighter It feels less like a slab, I quite liked the slab though, and more of a sleek smart phone. As far as I can tell, it's lighter. The Blend app I find invaluable - really useful I'm not a game player therefore apps, or lack of, although the Amazon link up is quite adequate, is not something I am bothered about. A great functional sophisticated business phone. I like it.
