Actually, i would be interested in the passport if verizon was getting it. Hate to be a downer, but its this whole reality thing, and accepting the inevitable. Just tired of all the posts about "when will verizon get the passport" and people getting all butthurt that there is no answer, and blaming it on verizon.

As it stands, its att exclusive. Like the iphone used to be way back when. To ask verizon about an agreement they arent involved with and raise a huge stink over it is an exercise in futility.

Recently went to my Verizon store and they have NO Blackberrys on display, and I was told they will not carry the Passport. I also was told a lot of mobile carriers use BBs in house because they are so secure. (Amusing).

I am SO tired of constantly being pushed to buy an insipid iPhone, (sometimes by Verizon folks who tease me about my Q10). They say that BBs are returned often but I think that has something to do with how poorly Verizon folks have always represented BB. When I bought my Q10 I knew a bit about it, the reps didn't seem super comfortable with it, weren't familiar with what the different swipes did, and there was a definite anti-BB bias, so I can only assume that they also steer people away from BBs. It's a shame, because BlackBerry - from the security, to the standard HDMI port, to the battery life - is just lightyears ahead of the iPhone.
