Best wishes. Thank you.

I think it's a myth, next to impossible to get linux on a non-linux phone... and android isn't linux.. well not yet anyway

I am not a programmer, but I believe BlackBerrys, and that QNX, are locked down tight. No options for another OS.

I think the issue is a lack of users and the type of users, Blackberry devices aren't as popular as Android devices so the hacking community will be much smaller. No security is impossible to get past provided there is a desire to do so. There is always a work around!

I made a parody of the Verizon and Motorola 2009 advert "Droid Does" for the Blackberry Passport. This was also done for the Nokia n900 by fans. The Blackberry Passport has many features that the iPhone and similar don't or often don't have. The Blackberry Passport is the anti-iPhone. Though these limitations aren't necessarily iPhone specific. Sorry for the lack of transitions, kdenlive has been giving problems. When other smartphones aren't enough Blackberry Passport does!

True about the anti-iphone.. it's anti-android and anti-gnu phone too lol
Never seen the passport ad before.. impressive piece of kit!
