Formerly known as Research In Motion Limited (RIM), BlackBerry Limited has released numerous successful gadgets that seem to not conform with the usual trend. When smart touch-screen, keypad-less phones were at high demand, BlackBerry Limited produced wider screened BlackBerries, however still maintaining their qwerty keypads.
Not fully detrimental to the sales of the company however not exceeding customers, loyal BlackBerry fans continued to rally behind their favorite BlackBerries, and remained faithful to whatever BlackBerry Limited comes out next with.
The most recent addition to the BlackBerry line is known as the BlackBerry Passport officially released last September 24. According to the official website, BlackBerry Passport (latest news) "has a large square touch screen that provides amazing viewing and reading experience, giving you wider vision that unleashes your capabilities."
Apart from these upgrades, full Blackberry Passport (latest news) specs include an IPS LCD capacitive touch scree, with multitouch up to 10 fingers. It is enclosed in Corning Gorilla Glass 3, weighs 196 grams with a 128 x 90.3 x 9.3 mm in dimension. Camera is 13 MO with 4128 x 3096 pixels, with optical image, LED flash and autofocus.
In spite of these upgrades, CEO John Chen explains why BlackBerry Passport (latest news) isn't for everybody. BlackBerry Limited as well, isn't forcing iPhone or Samsung users to change smart phones/phablets either. In his editorial for CNBC, Chen explains: "We don't expect to sell a handset to everyone and don't expect to take down the consumers who love to play games on their iPhones. But we do want to provide an experience that caters to the middle professional - anyone who relies on their device to do their jobs. As I like to say, most smartphones are better designed for helping users kill time than making the most of it."
