BlackBerry has been making all out efforts to make a comeback in the smartphone business. While some of its recent smartphones did get appreciated, it's uncertain how the new Passport performs in the Indian market. However, BlackBerry is trying to woo the business users with a number of enterprise centric features.
So far, the device has received mixed reviews with many praising the design, resolution and viewing angles. However, it has also been criticised for being uncomfortable to carry in a pocket or use one-handed. Also read: BlackBerry Passport: Will the square phone work?
