the thought of getting a Q10 just for temporary use before i get the Note 4,stayed a thought.. because i browsed a little on blackberry, and apparently they only just recently released a new flagship phone...
At first i thought Passport was just a term for its security measure or something like that, but i knew i was wrong when i accidently saw a photo of a square phone while i was browsing for 2nd hand Q10's on Mudah.my.
I clicked on the photo...and i fell inlove with it straight away.
i then proceeded to googling the specs of the phone, and i fell even deeper...hahaha.. drama gila aku ni.
all reviews that i read were positive about the hardware of the phone, saying that its a huge upgrade from all other blackberries ever produced before, and that blackberry might rise from the ashes once again..yada yada yada. for me, i really dont give a damn about it all, as long as i could share files with my friends and do a little bit of work with it. because prior to using an android, i was a blackberry user too...and i loved my berry so much then, as it served its purpose well. the reason i switched to android was because it was new at that time, and touch screen phones were starting to become popular.and also because my bb was at the edge of breaking down lol.
anyways.. after seeing what i thought was enough of the phone on the internet, i made a call to a seller on Mudah.my, asked my father in law to belanja me a phone (mmg aku call dulu org tu suruh datang tanpa aku konfem ke tak dapat duit... hahaha.. i was fucking restless the whole day, scared that my FIL wont agree on me buying such an expensive phone, dahla dah call orang tu suruh datang malam tu jugak) and malam tu jugak aku beli.
upon opening the box, i totally did not expect the phone to be super huge....mak terkejut tau! phone petak , besar muka plak tuh.. and my face isnt your typical girl face, my face is the pinggan sized one. so besar! took the phone out from the box, held it in my hands and i thought 'oh my god.. what the fuck did i just buy', 'how am i gona talk on this' and 'but this looks pretty solid and handsome'. haha.. yang ketiga tu tak belahhhh.. ayat sedapkan hati sendiri. though it is a veryyyy veryyyyyy beautifully crafted device, i swear to it. the bezel is all metal, and it just feels good in my hands.. and mind you, that it is as solid as it looks. only just yesterday i was jumping like a monkey and the phone dropped out of my pocket (yeah it fits in my pocket.. and i was wearing skinny jeans) onto the floor, to what sounded like dents or cracks would appear somewhere on the phone..my heart skipped a beat..but i acted cool,picked up the phone, put it back on the table without taking a look at it (konon cool, padahal takut nak tgk kalau ada bengkok ke retak). selepas 5 menet baru slowly reach out to the phone, and pretended to look at messages, when i was furiously scanning for imperfection.
Nothing...not a single scratch on it. Lega gila!
the screen glass is made out of Corningware Gorilla Glass 3, so its pretty difficult to get scratched. good for me, because blackberry is heavily overshadowed by other companies, so this new realease isnt much of a hype yet in Malaysia. kalau nak cakap pasal accessories...mmg takde laaa for now. semua kene beli online. kalau ada casing or protector pun,, semua stock yang buruk2 je.. i got a silicon casing recently, and i hate it so much, but i pakai je cz kawan aku bising, kata just for temporary protection.
noww... getting into the operating system. so, my last blackberry was the bold 4, and that was of the old OS, tak ingat yang mana.. but it is very different from the current OS, Blackberry 10. so i was afraid i might have to subscribe to BIS upon wanting to make full use of the device, but i din have to, which is good, because im on a 2 year contract with maxis that still has a year plus remaining. having to subscribe would mean that id be breaching the contract, and i would have to pay a 1k fine.
seb baik tak payah. rabak duit aku kalau tak.
Apparently Blackberry 10 is relieved from the necessity of BIS to operate, and using it is a simple, straight-forward thing too (well actually i find that all phones are the same). and because i havent been using blackberry devices for a while, i wouldnt know what to compare it to (in terms of usability) except other platforms, so ill leave it at that.
App wise, i think it is pretty poor. maybe cz i came recently from android/iOS devices, i feel like it could use a bit more apps. with my note 3 i could buy gadgets to pair with my phone, but with the passport, i cannot do anything like that..because there isnt any apps to it. blackberry claims that theyre compensating this with the amazon store, but still, i find all the apps available to be very bland. but of course if there is a will then there would certainly be a way, and there is. theres this sideloading thingy that allows you to install android apps on the device. some works, while others dont, and theres that hassle of needing to connect it to a computer to get it started on the first place. since i dont actually use apps with my android before, i still like to see them on my phone, you know, just incase i decide to use any in the future lol. i would appreciate it if theres like at least a decent blogging app.. whatever lah. it makes me use my phone less. which is also good la kan? hahaha..
the keypad is wonderful to use... i think its really clever for bb to incorporate a trackpad into the keypad, it gives that minimalized look, and also adds a cool factor to it, being able to just flick on the keys for screen scrolling and other small things...
nevertheless i will still buy an android as a second phone so i could connect to devices that uses apps for that purpose!
eyeing for a OnePlus One!
