Re: I certainly won't be buying a new BB, unless it's in a 'fire' sale.
Yeah, that's not 'the right price'. I agonised long and hard before spending a reasonable amount of effort to get a Photon Q and mod it to accept accept a SIM slot. The Passport form factor and keyboard look great, I like the idea of the hub and Blackberry Blend.
However : no removable battery, sub par app store, plus inadequate Android compatibility and inability to control Android app permissions.
If they released a Blackberry Passport Android edition, which could be unlocked, I'd be pretty happy. I don't want a Priv - it's too expensive, and I want a landscape keyboard phone. Also, because it can't be unlocked, it's ever more likely to turn into a doorstep in another year.
