BlackBerry Passport expected to arrive soon

Get ready for what is, perhaps, the most exciting announcement from Blackberry this year… the Blackberry Passport is ready to land. Over the next week we will be bringing you insights into the ‘revolutionary’ new handset, which Blackberry promises will have us clamouring to purchase.

Today we take a look at what is perhaps Blackberry’s signature piece, the QWERTY keyboard, which we have seen on the BlackBerry Q10 and BlackBerry Q5.

Crackberry addicts often cite their loyalty to the brand due to the easy to use keyboard and it looks like they are about to cash in their loyalty with a very notable upgrade.  This revolutionary new physical keyboard provides you more ways to control and navigate your smartphone thanks to its impressive response to touch. Rows of touch-sensitive keys combine the tactile efficiency we come to expect of Blackberry, with touchscreen like navigation to enhance productivity.

Blackberry’s QWERTY keyboard’s revolutionary response to touch provides you more ways to control your smartphone without having to use the touchscreen. Whilst it might sound slightly odd to control a Smartphone from the keyboard rather than the touchscreen, Blackberry have cleverly continued to target their loyal Business users, who depend on the ease of a physical keyboard to fire off emails quick fast but want the feel of a smartphone.

The rumoured capacitive touch keyboard will allow users to perform gestures to delete words, predict text or scroll browsers on the actual keys.  Developers will be able to use the new keyboard in their apps, bloggers will navigate web pages and bash out their latest piece on the go, whilst business professionals will be able to read documents faster, all whilst enjoying the ease of fast, efficient typing .

The innovate Blackberry keyboard also promises the following:

  • Faster scrolling
  • Intuitive cursor control
  • Intuitive text selection
  • Contextual virtual keys
  • Flick to type
