BlackBerry, $ 550 for those scrapping iPhone – PianetaCellulare.it

Written by Simone Ziggiotto, the 27/11/14

If the industry was based on the quality of the efforts that a company makes to try to grow there is no doubt that BlackBerry would be among the first in the world. Now, if these efforts are truly effective is a completely different story. Since a couple of years now, ever since it started the decline of the Canadian company, Blackberry had to need to be more creative things to diversify from competitors and try to regain customers lost, with the ‘other’ competitors in the mobile industry that are Google and Apple. With this in mind, the BlackBerry has introduced a program that intends to use to convince iPhone users to buy a new Blackberry, the current flagship model, the Blackberry Passport.

The program requires that users who want to pass from their iPhone 4S, 5c, 5s and 6 to a Blackberry can get up to $ 550 with the purchase of a BlackBerry Passport – if confirmed the bonus, BB makes payment of the bonus via a card Visa prepaid. The offer, which is available only in the United States and Canada, will be valid from December 1 to February 13 next year, and is a good choice for those interested in that mark and return to a device with a physical keyboard. For comparison, the retail chain Best Buy, for example, pays about $ 460 for an iPhone 6 with 128 GB of storage space still in good condition.

Passport drives productivity with a touch of the form 4.5-inch square that maximizes space to allow users to read 60 characters per line, while the typical devices only touch in portrait orientation display only 40 characters. If to this is added a new keyboard with touch capabilities, you are able to perform more actions on your smartphone, without feeling the need to use the PC or tablet to read and write emails, view maps, surf the Web or edit documents.

Blackberry Passport has a 4.5-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1440×1440 pixels and protection Gorilla Glass 3. The phone is powered by chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 with a quad-core processor at 2.2 GHz and 3GB of RAM. The handset has 32GB of onboard memory, expandable via further cards microSD . The rear camera is 13 megapixel with OIS, while the front camera has 2-megapixel resolution. For connectivity there is support for LTE , HSPA +, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and NFC. To feed the whole battery wide from well 3450 mAh . The size of the Passport are 128 x 90.3 x 9.3 mm , for a weight of 194.4 grams. Finally, the Passport has support for all options including LTE connectivity, and runs the operating system BlackBerry OS 10.3 .

Passport is built with quality materials and robust, as, for example, the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for the display and forged steel for added strength. The new keyboard QWERTY BlackBerry Passport is at least four times more accurate than seen on virtual keyboards of BlackBerry 10 – the error rate is on average less than 74% – so there are fewer typos .

BlackBerry Passport remains in the meantime available in Italy to the operators and authorized dealers at the recommended price of € 649, including taxes.
