I'm doing research..
I've got 4 N900's (1 factory seal) ... I'm getting gitty like I did when I first saw the N900.

If it can run linux via emulation.. wow!

While watching the launch video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlaC0__f6hA)
I made some notes:

So it has good points:
Physical keyboard (which is a touchpad)
MicroSD
3GB ram (maybe more with a swap file?)
32GB on board
13 megapixel camera/ 2mp front
blackberry assitence ( voice command) seams better then apple's and android's.
HDMI/VGA out via optional cabel
3450 mAH largest battery on a mobile?
solid construction, stainless steal frame
1440×1440 pixels, 453 PPI largest screen size on a mobile?
Amazon & Blackberry app store
android app sideloading
Blackberry blend (PC/Mac/iOS/Android remote integration with passport's data, send/recieve email/sms/etc)
Good CPU/GPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 801
CPU Krait 400, 2.2 GHz quad-core
GPU Adreno 330

Bad
shame it doesn't have a stylus (like N900)
I'm not convienced on the passport form factor.. (I like a compact sliding keyboard ie n900/droid).
And usb for HDMI/VGA, out is a shame it didn't have it's own port/cable.
no function key on keyboard, ie no HW copy and paste :'(
battery not user removable.


It's a good comeback phone, good mix of performance, extras and a few cost cutting.
'Working wide' is it's moto, and I think it hits the business/mobile computing market very well.
It's on special on BB's site for 599USD which I think is a good price for a newly released phone
