Loss of functionality in Blackberry Passport

I recently purchased Passport fully confident that it would at least have the functionality of earlier blackberry phone software.  I was wondering if it is only I who cannot find these functions, or if not there is Blackberry looking to address these loss of functionality.
No categories for categorizing contacts?
No acces to mapping e.g. Outlook contact fields to Blackberry contact fields?  E.g I am missing my PRIMARY tel numbers on my Blackberry
How to "save" messages (text and email) so that they will not be deleted 
How to increase intensity of the vibrate mode?
No SELECT ALL option anywhere? we need to select one-by-one (mainly applies to messages)
Are I REMEMBER notes synchronized? where are they synchronized? How do we synchronize (all with Outlook)
Earlier versions allowed to set up different color LED for message notification e.g. blue for text, red for email, green for reminders etc.  is this no longer possible?
Would greatly appreciate any help on these items.  i hope that Passport touted as productivity tool will add to and not remove from those very functions.

1. Correct.
2. Correct.
3. BlackBerry10 syncs with your mail server and does not "save" messages to your handheld device. The alternative is to "file" the message if you are on an IMAP or Active Sync email server, or to share that email to the Remember! app. OR to Evernote, which can sync to your desktop PC.
4. Can not.
5. In the Hub, tap the lower right three dots (overfow) icon > Select More. Now select by touching any messages you desire. Then tap the overflow icon again > Mark Read, Delete, etc. (upcoming OS 10.3 will improve on this by allowing you to tap the upper right icon so that the trash can/flag/mark read messages all appear next to each message).
6. No. Evernote entries can be.
7. With third party apps, such as BeBuzz or Hub++, yes.

  • How do I install itunes.exe on blackberry passport? I've downloaded file but it will not open.

    I'm trying to download an app that's only available on iTunes. I've downloaded iTunes.exe but it will not open on Blackberry passport. Is there a specific .exe version that I need to download?

    You can't.  iTunes itself runs on Windows PCs or Macs.  Any apps available from the iTunes Store will only run on iPhones or iPads.

  • Blackberry Passport sim tray issue is prevalent and they will not fix it for you because it is your fault. Ridiculous.

     I bought my Blackberry passport on Feb 13rd. Right out of the box the sim tray didn't read the sim. I thought it is my sim's problem, so I waited for another sim. New sim came in, still didn't read. After a long call with customer support and BB virtual support, I had my device sent in around mid March. They checked it and said I damaged the sim tray and I need to pay 268$ to have it fixed. I though it is ridiculous since I haven't done anything to the phone. So I argued with them and eventually they agreed to have my fixed without cost.
     However when they sent me back the device, I poped in the sim and it only works for 1 day, on and off the second day and then not reading the sim at all after that. I think the sim tray's problem with the passport is prevalent and the pin can be broken by the simple act of poping in the sim card. My ATT sim is working perfectly fine on the 5s and my brother's iphone 6.
     After 2 days of receiving the "repaired" device, I call them again and this time they said it is certainly my fault and if I send it in again, I will have to pay 268$ to have it fixed.
     So I thought for people out ther if you have a passport, don't pop in and out the sim card. It can really easily be broken.
      For me, I think now I just gonna use my "broken sim tray new passport" as a reading device. After 10 years, I will officially switch to other brand. Still love the keyboard though, but anyway.

    Check that your sim card does not have a burr or edge on it before you insert it, as that may be what's damaging the SIM pins.
    Site anly allow linlks to web images, so here's what the tray is supposed to look like - with the SIM cover on.
    FWIW - a T3 torx driver is required to remove the screws around the SIM  and TF card tray cover. That would allow you to look at the underlying pins - and possibly - with a bit of luck, fix them on your own.

  • Can i get a new BlackBerry passport AT&T ?

    Hello, I was Zarah, from Hong Kong, the family members are young lawyers and civil servants. I work in a hospital operating room.
    From a doctor in the hands, recognizing BlackBerry Q10, since then, I've been looking to get and watch things about the BlackBerry until blackberry passport AT & T's appearance, this is how perfect machine, in security and confidentiality, shape, size, both perfect. Simply can not wait to get it, so I asked my friends to go to the US AT & T to buy a brand new BlackBerry passport, in this process, I simply can not expect to sleep.
    Unfortunately, even if I am willing to pay for immediate expenses and no annual contract and the remaining two months of the monthly fee payable to get a brand new and unlocked Blackberry passport AT & T. My friend to help me, the past few days in different places all over the United States, the clerk encountered in AT & T stores are not friendly and not active assistance, or even in the NEW YORK NEW JERSERY alike ... Why is this so? They hate people buy blackberry it?
    Even equally in Hong Kong and sales direction and strength significantly substandard.
    Really feel very sad, friends say there is no way, told me to stay away from the BlackBerry. Family members disagreed, why bother to get this phone?
    In fact, I really hope to be able to help my blackberry to solve this problem, because I really love this BlackBerry, and to the people around the promotion of BlackBerry.
    Until now, every one of my friends think around Blackberry was about to fall. I do not agree, do not give up to get the BlackBerry.
    Even Finally, BlackBerry does not help me to get a new passport AT & T does not matter, please stick to it, do not give up. Because, you really done a good job! In this phone, hardware, cameras, you could see the rest of the efforts and progress.
    I no longer want to return to the Apple and Android. Blackberry Come on!
    Now I am going to go to Australia working holiday in April a year, it is unable to personally go to the US to buy Blackberry passport.
    Originally planned, there will be blackberry passport to accompany me to go to work, learn and experience different.
    In this sorry, as a BlackBerry fans, the phone is not the BlackBerry.

    The best thing is to purchase it online from AT&T or purchase in store and have it shipped. The stores probably don't stock them.
    Even if you get one you'll need to pay to get it unlocked, too.

  • BlackBerry Passport won't get past 100%

    Hello,
    Yesterday I tried opening an e-mail on my BlackBerry Passport - the screen faded to a darker colour (as if it was going to open it), then returned to the hub. I tried to open it again and the same thing happened.
    I refreshed the hub by swiping 5 times from the top right to the centre of the phone - I was still unable to open the e-mail, or any other e-mails I had read in the past. 
    I then restarted my phone, however when it was rebooting, here's what happens:
    It displays the BlackBerry logo
    It shows the 'loading' screen (BB logo and the square loading bar around the logo)
    It gets to 100%, and that's it... nothing further happens
    Occasionally, it automatically restarts the cycle, displays the logo and then begins loading to 100% again. It stays on 100% for hours, the phone gets extremely hot then this morning the battery had died on it.
    I plugged in the charger, then minutes later the cycle started again. 
    I have tried powering off & on, holding both of the volume buttons and loads of other combinations, but the same issue persists. Interestingly, the phone doesn't seem able to actually fully power off. If I hold the power button down for 10 seconds, the screen goes black, a red light shows for around 2-3 seconds, and the restart process begins again. This happens regardless of how I shut the device down.
    Ordinarilly I'd take the battery out of my Q10 if something like this happened and put it back in - obviously this isn't an option with the Passport.
    Is there anything I can do? I tried to wipe it from Link, but it doesn't recognize the device is plugged in via USB. 
    This is literally 2 weeks old and I'm extremely frustrated that this is happening to such a new and 'necessary' device. 
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Yea, I would be frustrated also.
    1. You can return the device for a warranty replacement.
    2. Try connecting to Link via a different USB port on your PC, or use a different PC with Link installed.
    You might try also making the connection to Link while the device is rebooting.
    I agree, a new device shouldn't have these issues.

  • Blackberry Passport with Blackberry Presenter

    Hi everyone,
    I was just wondering if the Blackberry Passport (which I currently own) or any other BB10 smart phone could be used with the Blackberry Presenter. The Blackberry Presenter manual does specify that it could be used with OS 4.6 and later, and it works fine with my Bold 9900, but I just sold it to buy the Passport. Any suggestions?

    Presenter does not work on BB10 devices

  • Blackberry Passport Ordered Oct 3 (VIP) - Submitted, Confirmed, Charged - No shipping info

    Hey not sure if i am the only one but i don't think I am.  Anyways be nice if someone could clarify or provide me with some information.
    Ordered Oct 3rd, Blackberry Passport from the VIP page
    Oct 4th, Order Confirmation
    Oct 6, Payment on CC is charged and went to DR
    Now the thing is..its Oct 17th and I haven't heard a single thing about my order.  On findmyorder, it shows "Order Complete"
    Attempts to Contact DR failed..then I have read on crackberry and here that people who ordered Oct 4, 5, 6 and so on have already received their passports.
    Anyone have this issue too or any information to provide?
    Doesn't make sense..considering those people who ordered after me live in the same area as myself so the regional area is not the problem..

  • Blackberry Passport Unlocked version

    I am having difficulty finding details regarding the compatability of the unlocked version of the Passport with international carriers.  The phone would be home based with ATT in the U.S. but would need to work in most places in Europe and Africa.  We have used many different previous models of Blackberry successfully when traveling and just want tio confirm this model would work as well. 
    Does the unlocked version have dual sim slots?
    We tried to find a phone  number for pre sales questions but have been unable to.  We've always bought directly from a salesman before but apparently have to order on the web for this model?
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Hi! 
    The BlackBerry Passport is single-sim only and supports the following network bands. 
    FD-LTE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20 (2100/1900/1800/1700/850/2600/900/700/700/800 MHz)
    HSPA+ 1, 2, 4, 5/6, 8 (2100/1900/1700/850/900 MHz)
    Quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
    To ensure 100% compatability, I'd recommend contacting the service provider you'd like to use with the BlackBerry Passport. For more details on specifications check out the BlackBerry Passport website located here.
    I hope this helps!

  • Blackberry passport has no bass

    I really enjoy listening to high quality sound music but blackberry passport is a disaster from this point of view. It doesn't have any bass! I have tried both ways through the bluetooth and through the auxiliary. Even my five year old iphone produces better sound. Is the problem in hardware or software? I hope that the problem is in the software as I enjoy the phone overall except for this issue. There is nothing to do with the equaliser or any other settings. The problem is in the phone itself!

    And the equalizer doesn't make any change for you?
    If so, try turning down the output on the BlackBerry by a notch or two.
    The other question is, are you hooking up to a aftermarket stereo system or a stock stereo system.
    I go thru a stock radio in a Ford car and have no issues, except for the volume could be a bit higher. But it's not fault of BlackBerry but rather the radio. Also on my stock radio I noticed if I keep the volume down on the radio by one or two clicks from max volume, I get better bass.

  • When will the BlackBerry Passport come to Verizon?

    Also, I notice the BlackBerry Passport works on LTE band 13. I have heard various Passport owners stating that they can't get their device activated to work on Verizon. I thought Verizon was under legal obligation to allow anyone to put a non-Verizon device on LTE band 13.
    I would rather just have Verizon release the BlackBerry Passport! When are you getting it?

    briandpeterson I think this has been discussed a few times here already...but its been said that AT&T has a lock on the Passport for now...
