First of all, that was a great video. The got the total snerap-peak into both the phones. But it had just one thing missing - WHICH ONE TO BUY ULTIMATELY ? Lets say you are 50:50 on both the phones, which one will you pick to make it 51:49 (Thats the confusion in my mind right now). So which one is "SLIGHTLY" better than the other ?
First It depends on taste because they are totally different form factors.. so no can tell you what to like.... second it depends on what you value Video watching or browsing ? Physical keyboard or virtual keyboard? Security or customization? And apps are pretty much available on both devices with few exceptions
Mike Trieu 'most Android apps' is pushing it. If it does run most, it hits stumbling blocks with them at some point throughout the user experience. Sometimes this isn't a huge deal, icons half on a screen or something easy to overcome. Other times, it's an experience breaker and renders the app useless. We'll post a video of key apps and illustrate whether or not they work shortly.
we keep stressing on apps when we dont use much apps on our phones ,,i find once u have the apps that u use on a daily basis its good ,,but at the end of the day the choice is yours wether u want android or blackberry OS ,,we a re all free to choose ...
Instagram works.....I do however use Igrann pro BB native version. Works great. Don't think I have found a App that doesn't work. I use amazon app store for items that require a pay service like Games.
This blackberry will fail. It'll be over priced and offer less than android and apple. I r so a real shame too for a once world class organisation. I can't help but feel this is a last throw of the dice. Problem is the major networks in the US and Canada have dropped blackberry from their catalogue and no one in the UK uses them anymore. Of course there are more markets but I just can't see it selling. Mind u. I write this from my Z3 so maybe I'm biased!
Dakarai Jordan working in the industry for 8 years I am qualified to post what I did. There has been an unprecedented decline in BB sales over the last few years. I did post that it was a shame also so perhaps you should read the post again before losing your mojo. I assume u use a blackberry? They have declined so much that they started sharing BBM on android and ios to get users again.
I'll forgive you for being biased (aren't we all?), but you are also terribly misinformed. Since launch, the BlackBerry Passport has been continually sold out (it sold out within hours), despite the fact no U.S. carriers officially support it. It was also the number 1 unlocked phone on Amazon until it sold out there too (also within a few hours). It my opinion, it offers a lot more than Android or Apple.
I don't think you understand. No one in the U.S. has it on their catalog either. It was destined to fail. But people bought unlocked on Amazon or direct through ShopBlackBerry, and the demand has been so high, BlackBerry has not been able to keep it in stock. It has already vastly surpassed BBRY expectations and been a huge success for the company.
I really want that blackberry passport now.
You can adjust white ballance on passport as well
.... I'd like to see a comparison of blackberry assistant v cortana v google v siri... If your able to do it..

I really want the xperia Z3
Heard bb has great speakers. Could you make a comparison with some speaker flagships like HTC One M8?
Артем Багдасаров good shout!
please do complete review of blackberry passport soon is it worth buying or blackberry failed to get on their feet...
you really have sold the blackberry to me. i was considering the Z3 compact but i like the Passport being a little different. thanks .
Best two smartphones on the market right now
Passport all the way
Damn straight!!
Instagram does work on the passport or on any bb10 device. Big error there! Otherwise great look.
You should do a speaker comparison between the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, to see how they match up.
Include the passport there to blow the competition (;
Will Zed Three come to verizon? i really hope so !!!
yes october 23rd is the day it comes to verizon as the xperia z3v
I want BlackBerry Passport :)
You can't compare Apple's and oranges
Open Z3 keyboard and you'll see major difference with Passport. BB is clearly superior in this regard
Fewer apps because of superior security (so simple).
I would get a Blackberry but they really need to get some apps to justify the phone.
Doesn't it run most Android apps natively and comes pre-installed with the Amazon Appstore?

Btekt Looking forward to the app demo. Do you think it's because of the dependency on Google Play Services?
Btekt
on the passport maybe.....Z30 all apps perform well.

Instagram works, download the 6.2 apk. What other android apps aren't working for you? I have yet to find one that doesn't run.
Instagram does work and 90% of apps work flawlessly.
ahmed hanif interestingly not using the latest Android APK on our Passport, though it works on the Q10. Which version do you use?
6.1 on my Z10. Sure that would work on the passport.
Yiu can always use the latest version from the native Google client called Snap... I've been up to date with the latest from instagram for months...
Instagram works fine on Z10
DOES HE HAVE AN AUSSIE ACCENT ?? DAMN
All apps work on my blackberry, Instagram, Netflix, kids have snapchat...the sony picture sucked big time.

We'll see. It'll fail again in my opinion. EE the biggest carrier in the UK has zero blackberry devices on the consumer catalogue

All carriers in Canada offer BlackBerry
