New Colors Celebrate the Holidays and Offer Users Choice to Best Suit Their Styles
BlackBerry today introduced a white color BlackBerry Passport and a limited edition red color BlackBerry Passport. Just in time for the holidays, customers in North America will be able to purchase red and white BlackBerry Passports on ShopBlackBerry.com and Amazon.com.
BlackBerry Passport is now available in three color options, allowing customers to choose the color that best fits their style – from traditional black, to classy white and powerful red.
“We are thrilled with the positive reception the BlackBerry Passport has received since we launched in September,†said BlackBerry Executive Chairman and CEO, John Chen.
“The introduction of the red and the white BlackBerry Passport colors underscores our commitment to break through the sea of rectangular-screen, all-touch devices, offering different styles that meet mobile professionals’ personalities.â€Â
Thoughtful Design for the Mobile Professional
Inspired by an actual passport, the universal symbol of mobility, the size and form factor of BlackBerry Passport is portable enough to easily tuck into pockets and use wherever you go. Utilizing premium, robust materials such as Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 for the display and forged stainless steel for added strength, BlackBerry Passport will provide the durability business professionals require in a smartphone.
The large square screen is optimized for viewing and creating content, and makes everyday tasks like reading and writing emails, reviewing and editing documents, web browsing, and map navigation more comfortable and effortless. The BlackBerry Passport includes the industry’s first touch-enabled keyboard with gestures that make typing, editing and navigating more efficient and accurate. BlackBerry’s physical QWERTY keyboards have always made it easier for users to create polished, professional communications with exceptional accuracy.
The BlackBerry Passport is one of the first devices to launch on BlackBerry’s latest OS platform, BlackBerry 10.3. It comes preloaded with new productivity-enhancing features including BlackBerry Blend and BlackBerry Assistant, as well as the BlackBerry World storefront and Amazon Appstore, offering access to the very best apps for work and play.
