In addition to everything that was said Web browsing was second-to-none on the Passports. Wide screen had the most horizontal real estate I've seen in a pocket device and the browser was cutting edge at the time in terms of HTML5/standards compliance, if I recall correctly. I'll miss it greatly (had a Z10, Passport, and Passport Silver).

I absolutely loved the Passport, especially the touch sensitive keyboard, it felt so revolutionary at the time.
Agreed.

And the square screen meant no need to flip your device between portrait and landscape mode all the time – an annoyance we don't notice much on basically all other smartphones because we do it so much.

If it'd caught on, maybe we wouldn't be plagued with millions of portrait-oriented photos and pictures from people who don't know how to use their device's camera.
