I suggest buying the BB passport if you...

..do not play games much. but it would be good for emulator like SNES or others with keypad. look at the keypad    button location on BB passport, it is perfect for the game pad i think.
..want a long battery time. its really long. but there is a phone which has the longest battery time with 2600mh size, just google it.
..like the physical keypad. the passport has 3 rows,so I thought it would be uncomfortable than old BB.
  but it is not, it is awsome sweeping function on physical keypad.  
This could be disappointed for BB passport if you...
..expect to use android apps 100%. I want to say 80% android apps work.
..use google map and googleNow alot.
most popular android apps are wokring, but paid-apps are not working which you have to login into google account. 
and the phone price is not that cheap. I think BB CLASSIC could be better choice for current BB users.
this post is just personal opinion, so dont judge me even you don't agree lol
I like my passport so far except what i disappointed above

I found with games the Passport did very well. It also depends on the types of games. This phone was really designed for serious type use with very high security as like Blackberry devices are supposed to be.
I found battery time to be excellent. It is in fact better than I expected. I am a power user of my phones. I carry both the Z30 and Passport with me.
I am using some Android apps. I am using Waze, Radio Tunes, Bubble Level, Sound Meter, Metal Detector, and Gas Buddy, just to mention a few. This phone runs most Android apps very well.
As for Google maps, using the phone go to  http://www.googlemaps.ca or http://www.googlemaps.com   After about 10 seconds the phone should pick up the web based Google app.  Save it as a shortcut to the desktop. Close the window to go back to the desktop.  Now launch the shortcut. It should work as Google maps Android. It is that simple! 
BB recommends using 1mobile and their supplied Amazon download program to obtain Android software for their phones. I have not tried, but I am under the impression it is possible to purchase paid programs using their recommended download sites. A credit card would be required.
As we know the Passport was designed more as a serious type of device with a lot of computing power. I did find however it does a great job with sound quality when connected by Bluetooth or by the earphone jack to a decent set of speakers.
I have very little negative I can think about this phone.  I was reading this morning the demand for the Passport is much greater than they anticipated. There is a shortage of this model. it is getting difficult to obtain. I managed to get mine about two weeks ago.  I like it a lot!

  • Do you need a credit card to buy the sketchbook proor can you use itunes cards?

    do you need a credit card to buy the sketchbook pro or can you use itunes cards?

    Hi..
    It might depend on the tax rate for your location.
    If you are in the U.S. >  http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/check-taxes-in-your-state.aspx
    If taxes or fees are applied to the $59.99, I doubt that $60.12 will cover it. You may need to purchase another iTunes gift card which you can redeem to increase the funds available.
    it is 59.99 dollers and i have 60.12 and it goes to the billing part
    If there are not funds available you will see a dialog asking you to edit your payment information. When there are not sufficient funds, the difference between the purchase amount and funds available is deducted from a credit or debit card account. If you don't want to have a credit or debit card then purchase another iTunes gift card.

  • Is it worth buying 21 inch iMac or buy the 27 inch iMac?

    please give some edvice

    21 in iMac does not allow RAM upgrde later.   27 in lets you upgrade RAM later.
    for 21 in you need to buy the amount of RAM you will need eventually.  That can drive the price of a 21 in up to a 27 in that has base-amounts of RAM but can be upgraded later for low cost.

  • What account info will I need to buy the data add on for europe

    Only know my mobile number will I need my EE account number when I buy the add on?

    You don't need any account info to buy roaming data when you are abroad, simply turn on data roaming and start browsing the net as normal. You will automatically be directed to the EE data roaming add-on page.
    EE automatically detects your mobile number and account info and charges your account accordingly.
    Do be aware that if you are in pay monthly, you don't see data roaming add-on charges until your next bill is issued.

    You don't have to buy the new version and you aren't forced to apply the updater 9.1

  • I just want to kno how many time do I have to buy the same app?

    how many time do I have to buy the same app?

    You are going to have to articulate a little more clearly what your issue is. General statements like buying the same app every year is not helpful.
    What, exactly is your issue? What Apps are you having to buy over and over? If you cannot take the time to describe your problem fully and clearly, then we can't help you.

  • New to the MAC world - can you suggest a new drive for my G4?

    Hi, I'm a newcomer to the MAC world after using Windows for years. I'd long wanted to make the switch and now my chance has come I'm absolutely delighted.
    At the moment I'm still finding my way around but I already have an idea about upgrade choices and the first is to replace the Hitachi GD-7000 DVD-ROM drive. It appears to be unable to read at least one commercial DVD and has problems with some data CDR/RW's from my collection (the same discs work fine in numerous standalone players and other DVD drives).
    Although I live in a "region 2 zone", I buy lots of region 1 films via Amazon and out of 7 discs tried using VLC only one worked (they all work on my PC's) - is this because of regional coding issues such as RCE or rather the Hitachi's age?
    I realise that ultimately the drive will have to be replaced and I would appreciate it if you could please offer suggestions on suitable drives.
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • One of my friends is getting an error "Can not buy this item. You must buy the application to which this item is intended to buy the item" when they try to make an In app Purchase

    More Details: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/cannot_download_camera_pac k_inside_photoshop_app
    My friend is trying to purchase an IAP on Adobe Photoshop Express, however they get an error saying "Can not buy this item. You must buy the application to which this item is intended to buy the item" when they try to make an In app Purchase". Everything other app is working fine.
    Any thoughts/suggestion to make this error go away?

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • On the Apple webiste, I read that you must run OS 10.6.8 in order to sync the iPhone 5 with the computer. However, in the tech specs on the "Buy the iPhone now" email  I  received at my .me email address, it list the OS sytem needed as 10.5.8. Which is it

    On the Apple website, I read that you must run OS 10.6.8 in order to sync the iPhone 5 with the computer. However, in the tech specs on the "Buy the iPhone now" email I received at my .me email address, it listed the OS sytem needed as 10.5.8. Which is it?

    In Reply to all fellow Apple fans: It is great that someone found a work-around to the iTunes 11.4 no syncing problem. I think that is fine for the short term. And  I am really glad that we customers have a forum to share information and experiences regarding Apple's products. However, as someone here said, we are all customers; and posting a problem here "IN HOPES THAT APPLE READS THESE POSTS" is NOT a way to resolve this issue or any issue.
    PLEASE CONTACT APPLE: Apple Service Center: 1-800-275-2273   - Once you get a ticket number then and only then is this documented and then Apple can follow-through and alert the engineers who will fix this.
    The "CWA2" work-around band-aid does several things in addition to reverting back to iTunes 11.3.1. :
    1) It ensures that Apple continues to know nothing of the problem.
    2) It ensures that the faulty code that is within 11.4 remains there and is perpetuated into future versions.
    3) It ensures that YOU can never upgrade to future versions. (If the resident faulty code remains and perpetuates)
    So once you have reverted back to 11.3.1, the problem APPEARS to have gone away (FOR YOU) but you have not solved the problem.
    Again, respectfully,
    1) Sending feedback to apple (using the "Report Bugs To Apple" menu item in Safari will get the information to someone, somewhere and add it to the pile of issues, complaints, suggestions, etc.
    2) CALLING the Apple service/support Center at  1-800-275-2273 will put you in touch with a real APPLE person who will begin the process of documenting and forwarding this issue on to those who will fix it.
    and
    3) emailing Apple directly will make sure that they get the information.
    lets get this fixed !!!!!!!!!
