jim, 15 Jan 2016can you do this also on the Leap or classic< thanksYou can run Android app (install apk instalation file) on any device with Blackberry OS 10 (Leap, Classic, Q10...) but of course, on devices with smaller screeens (Q10, Classic) there will be less compatible or usable programs, due to 1:1 screen ratio, and smaller resolution, and these applications will run slower then on Passport.

gino, 09 Jan 2016how to install android apps in BlackBerry Passport? please tell me the steps. thanks For installing Android apps that doesn't use Google Services, you just need to download installation file (*.apk extension). You can find these with google search. :)
If you need apps that use Google Services (All Google Apps like, Maps etc.) there is detailed explanation on one of the popular site that support Blackberry.
Also, if you don't want to bother with *.apk's and want to use Google Play Store, there is detailed how-to on the upper non-mentioned site. :D

Mustafa, 08 Jan 2016After the successful launch of BB Priv, should we expect an update on BB 10.3.2? The updation ... moreNew version (not necessarily major revision) is scheduled in the next couple months (officially: 'in the beginning of 2016).
BTW BB CEO just announced that BBOS development continues along with new Android BB smartphones).
After the successful launch of BB Priv, should we expect an update on BB 10.3.2? The updation is badly required. Also updates are required on several key applications such as facebook and linkedin for their smooth and rich experience. Otherwise BB10 future might be in danger.
Which one is better and easy handle also comfort passport or silver edition?
AnonD-188690, 06 Jan 2016Somebody was talking about samsung. Passport is built from stainless steel, chassis also steel... moreBlackBerry is the only OEM to use stainless steel as frame on their products.The rest uses plastic or aluminium.
Anonymous, 15 Dec 2015What about the plastic body somebody told me dat the plastic used us very week anybody tel meSomebody was talking about samsung. Passport is built from stainless steel, chassis also steel. unbendable.
I have google playstore on my passport. You can install 1mobile market directly from the web and then you can install Uber or any other android app that isnt in the Amazon appstore.
The following are the observations on BB10.3 NATIVE Apps , which are relatively best apps (as on date) after filtration (40% money wasted, as there is no response from BB against my refund request) for the requirement.
1) Zeus Browser by FileArchiveHaven Rs150.00 for flash performance it was only among chrome, opera , Firefox , stock (of android/IOS/BB10.3) etc that was able to open a flash map in hmda.gov.in
2) SMS Scheduler - Text Later by Ajani InfoTech Private Limited Rs50.00, if it can select group (if user created it) from Stock Contacts it will be great
3) Call Recorder for BlackBerry® 10 by Toysoft Development Inc Rs150.00 no need make speaker phone on (but record particular contact option not available)
4) Smart Contact Share by Devcellent Solutions Inc.Rs 50.00N/A for sharing contact as text
5) Color LED for BlackBerry 10 by Droom Soft Rs100.00 for customization of LED (Queuing is required, additional colours may be essential, if slow rising & slow diminishing is provided it will be great)
6) Profile Changer Pro by Toysoft Development Inc Rs 150.00
if large button is given for one time profile (further center button long press activates this function it will be much useful , & one more button if given for overriding to normal mode also great.
7) BookMyShow- Free
8) ContactsImEx-Free for import / export contacts
9) Ghost Commander file manager -Free for hidden file explore
10) TripLogger -Free for tacking on google map & exporting as kml file
11) IRCTC Official-Free font size is very low, not adjustable as on date, train schedule is not available.
12) WhatsApp Messenger-Free
Balance all are Android apps

Download snap onto your passport and every single android app performs so well, nothing like an blackberry: the best phones ever... and that's my opinion so don't care what others think
AnonD-1360, 02 Jan 2016Your so wrong on the apps front. Download BB Beta Labs or look up nemory studio you can downlo... moreFurther observations
Most of the android apps work as told in my initial opinion but at present only which does not need google play services, all most all sms android app does not work, dialling android apps partially work,
My main intention of expression of opinion is to make the buyer to know the advantages & disadvantages to non BlackBerry users, especially android-samsung users & users who do not want to put any effort in getting desired features / apps other than downloading from official downloads
BlackBerry is more intelligent in Deletion / edition of any word.

Dont bother downloading the same app from BB world its not worth. Side load the android version of true caller on passport it works just fine.
Give it a shot and lemme know.

Did you know half of the apps that work on an android works on the passport. Except apps that don't support 1:1 ratio of screen resolutions. Thanks to Oliver many apps that weren't available earlier on BB are now available. So stop whinning and use some common sense and start searching for apps.
Secondly, BB weren't know for being those fancy android phone which has so many useless apps that you generally dont use most of the time, why even crib thanks to BB the new OS 10 support the cross loading of Android Apps on their new 10 devices.
knreddy, 20 Dec 2015Excellent Phone due to the following factors
1. High in call volume (ear piece) & audio q... moreAdditional observations to my user opinion dated 20.12.2015
1. The native sampling frequency is 48000 Hz but after repeated listening I can safely opine that the resampling of 44100 Hz music is so perfect (like SSRC)that I am unable to listen any difference.
2)Fiio E07K USB DAC connection is plug & play, stock music player capable to handle lossless flac
3)It's contacts app does not capable to accept any custom labels other than work, home, mobile, other (phone numbers), simply it ignores i.e. other than above contact nos will be missed (whereas android, ios are capable)
4)a)there is no facility to set default phone no from available multiple phone nos of a contact
b) further it's order of preference work , home, mobile no, this is a disadvantage if work no is landline & cannot receive messages
Especially if names are picked up from contacts for group for group messaging, messages may not delivered due above problem
(no capable 3rd party app also available, so you have to prepare /edit to suite BlackBerry from available contacts)
5) As BlackBerry 10.3 OS is not as popular as android or IOS, many native ticketing, travelling apps like ola, uber etc are not available & they are workable in cobalt method which needs some reading & googling
6) since blackberry is only OS (software ) probably not crackable or jail breakable in the world hence we can not bring new features
