Verdict:

It’s clear that Blackberry wants business users to buy the Passport but gone are the days when phone manufacturers could put consumers into neat little buckets like that. Chances are even if you like to wear a suit to work, you will change into more comfortable clothing at the end of the day but the Passport is a device that’s not made to follow your example. Instead it feels like it wants to only cater to you for only half of the day and in this day and age, and for a price of Rs. 49,990, that’s simply not enough.

The Blackberry Passport has great specs, a display of fantastic quality and solid build quality but it feels like a novelty device and not one for mainstream consumption. The Passport is uncomfortable to use and not meant for anyone apart from hardcore Blackberry fans.

v  Verdict

At first sight, the Blackberry Passport may seem to be a bit inconvenient due to the square shape but brings in better usability and extra productivity. The innovative touch enabled QWERTY keypad allows you to work comfortably and the device boasts of a powerful battery that lasts for more than a day even after running powerful tasks. It is apt for professionals
