The new touch keyboard

The BlackBerry Passport takes our iconic keyboard to the next level. The physical keyboard gives you more typing accuracy and leaves you more screen space for viewing. It is also touch-enabled, so you can perform many functions right on the keyboard. It’s responsive to touch so you can scroll web pages, flick to type or slide along the keys to move the cursor. Only BlackBerry can take a perfectly crafted keyboard and make it better.

Battery power to keep up with you

BlackBerry® is well known for amazing battery life. The BlackBerry® Passport delivers our best battery performance to date with an impressive 3450 mAh battery and optimization of power consumption in BlackBerry® 10. With up to 30 hours of battery life1, you can be confident your phone can keep going for as long as you need it to.

Your personal assistant
BlackBerry® Assistant allows you to manage your email, contacts, calendar and other BlackBerry 10 features through voice and text commands. It helps you to execute tasks quickly such as responding to important emails, scheduling a meeting or getting directions.

BlackBerry Assistant is intelligent enough to respond to you based on your situation. Speak freely to it and it will respond in kind. Type a query and it will respond simply with information on the screen. When you’re connected to Bluetooth in the car, it knows you can’t look at the screen and will interact with you completely eyes and hands free.

Phone calls come to life
Phone calls on the BlackBerry® Passport are the next best thing to an in-person conversation. It comes with powerful speakers and a quad microphone system. BlackBerry® Natural Sound Technology is built in to adapt Wi-Fi® and cellular call sound depending upon phone position and background noise. The result is unmatched sound quality that can make you feel like you are in the same room even if you are worlds apart.

All your messages in one place
BlackBerry® Hub is the one place to manage all your conversations – email, text, BBM™, phone calls, social media and more. The all-new instant actions feature will allow you to quickly organize and action your inbox without having to go into each individual message. Plus, BlackBerry Priority Hub will get to know you and how you use your smartphone, curating a view of the most important messages and notifications. And it’s always available with a single swipe to help you stay organized, in control and on top of all your conversations.

Fast, responsive browser
The BlackBerry® Browser on BlackBerry 10 has been completely reinvented to help you quickly browse, read, and share online content. And with the BlackBerry Passport, you can see a full desktop web page on your screen. Pages load incredibly fast and render beautifully, making web pages easier to read.
