To all those former BlackBerry users does the passport or classic have any features to sway you back?
what I mean is I want MS to have the strongest presence in enterprise, for mobile, and there a few things in BB I would like to see move to WP such as the hub ar fully integrated BBM mostly.You can't buy security. That must be engineered into the software architecture from the get go. Today, WP is just as secure as BB ever was. If anything still separates WP from BB in that regard, then it is nothing more than brand image.
I'm not sure BB still has anything worthwhile to offer MS besides patents, but those interest many, not just MS.
The Z30 looks nice. So does the Lumia Icon. Unfortunately, both of those are only available for Verizon.Ah yes, BlackBerrys' new WTF devices! The Passport is a weird-a** size, and combining the "tool belt" buttons with the BB10 OS on the Classic seems lame. BlackBerry did such a great job on the touch screen keyboards on the Z10 & Z30, why not release new models of these phones? If BlackBerry would fix the mechanical keyboard on the Q10, it's easily the best physical keyboard phone out there. It seems BlackBerry is going in a weird direction with the Passport & Classic, I wouldn't buy either one even if I had stayed with BlackBerry.

Yep, Verizon had me if I stayed with BlackBerry, or moved to the Icon.
I was always intrigued with the LG Intuition because of its 4:3 aspect ratio but the reviews were scathing. I would definitely give the Passport a look. As someone else mentioned already, the Hub is just phenomenal for notifications but I just don't know how long BB will be around. I'm done being on ghost OSes so I'll stay on the sidelines for now.
Actually, the Passport has a 1:1 ratio screen; BlackBerry Passport | CrackBerry.com The one cool thing it features is a keyboard you can use gestures on to navigate, not cool enough to make me sell the Icon though.
