Look and appearance:

Blackberry passport has a dimension of 128 x 90.3 x 9.3 mm (Height x Width x Thickness) wich weighs 194grams which seems to be a little bit heavier than normal smartphones.
Blackberry phones are more used at corporate companies and less used as a personal device.
Having said that this Blackberry Passport seems to be perfect for official use.
It has a pretty decent 4.5 inch sqaure display of 1440x1440 resolution which makes it really better for documents reading and editing on the go.
But because of this it really looks very bulky and less stylish.

Keyboard features:
