Just bought a cheap Balckberry Passport from eBay. So far so

how's the battery life?

I thought Balckberry was bankrupt.

>>59984162
I don't know. It's my first day with it, but after a couple of hours tinkering it drained maybe like a 10%

>>59984144
Are you supposed to sideload the Android apps?

Also have you done a test to see how many apps it can have open

ETA on someone unlocking the bootloader and sticking a non-botnet OS on that?

>>59984185
>from ebay
he got it used

>>59984144
Yep, you can find them pretty cheap these days and you can install Android apps with no problem at all nowadays. Pretty cool device.

>>59984193
I installed fdroid directly from the own Blackberry web browser...
It has 3gb of RAM so theres no problem at all. I have 1.65gb free with Telegram, Whatsapp, Clover, Twitter and some Blackberry OS services.

>>59984205
He only tried the phone. It's almost new. Maybe he used it a couple of days.

>>59984197
Oh fuck I'm waiting for that as well. Got a BB Classic at home that I'd love to continue using but the lack of apps / hub integration with android apps is just a horrible no-go.

>>59984224
Are you using Android version of whatsapp or blackberry? Any problems with message delivery or notifications on the Android version?

>>59984319
I'm using the android version. You can receive notifications about who sent a message to you (even a group) but you have to enter the app in order to read it, or go to the integration Hub in order to open the android popup that you could open in a real android device.

>>59984375
Seems a little cumbersome. Are the android app shortcuts in the app drawer or home screen or are they only available to open through the integration hub

>>59984455
You can open them from home screen or within the integration hub if you have a notification.

>>59984144
Are thay comfy to type on because my q10 battery not keeping it's charge might upgrade to a pasport?

>>59984622
There's a learning curve. I'm still learning, but i think so.

>>59984185
>Bankrupt
No, the opposite in fact. BlackBerry themselves won't be making their own cell phones though anymore. They've refocused the company into a software developer only for now. They've partnered with other phone makers to make BBOS10.3+ usable phones, and made BBOS10.3+ able to run Android Apps (after being checked out by BlackBerry Guardian for malware and other shit).
It's actually a pretty nice setup.

>>59984656
My BlackBerry Z30 phone requires a restart / power down about once a week to keep running fast.
If I don't do that it starts slowing down noticeably.

How does Clover work?

>>59984144
How cheap anon?

>>59984197
Never unless BB themselves do it.
These phones have a focus on security. Even the Android ones can't be rooted yet.

How is the keyboard? Does it have full disk encryption? Thinking of getting one.

Not a blackberry fag but would've absolutely copped it for that price.

Another anon with a passport
Got it since January, got no problems with the android apps, except the ones who use Google play services, but there's a workaround for that with a quick Google search.
Pic related, currently using clover

>>59986453
Got it new or used?

How's the battery life?

Give it back, Tyrone

>>59986479
New in a sealed box around the price of the other guy

Battery life's good, after a long day (from 6 a.m to 11 p.m.) I have around 35 percent left

>>59984185
Blackberry is the Family Video of tech companies. It recognized it would become obsolete, so it shifted its business plan and stayed afloat.

Saw a guy with one of these on the train back from London, asked him if I could have a look at it and he just handed me it and let me look at it unsupervised for like 2 mins.

Immediately wanted one after.

>>59987058
Get the silver edition

I like the A E S T H E T I C of the Bold 9900 the most and they seem to go for dirt cheap, but it is probably obsolete by now, right?
Just need a safe (botnet free) phone to browse 4chan, listen to music and use whatsapp with

Amerilards can get an almost mint condition passport for $200 whereas it's around 5-600$ in my third world shit hole. Fuck me man.

>>59984193
You can just open the apk to install it, or you can install app stores. It has Amazon preinstalled, F-Droid can be installed like the other anon mentioned, and you can even install the Play Store.

>almost mint condition passport for $200
I got mine bnib for $210 shipped, man I feel bad for you.

I'm a successful businessman and the BB PP is the only phone I use. It's a no-nonsense phone that's great for email, PDF, and web browsing. I don't install many apps. Battery life is great.
It also has a good microphone which is very important to me.

>>59988059
are you me? I can't justify getting one to fuck around on that money even though it wouldn't hurt my monthly expenses.
