Reddit reviews Blackberry Passport Case - Ringke FUSION Passport Case [FREE Screen Protector/Drop Protection][CLEAR] Shock Absorption Bumper Premium Hard Case for Blackberry Passport

1)

• A- I have never used one so I cannot comment.
  
  
• B- Gmail is easy to setup you can even use this as your main email account.
  
  
• C- I don't have a lot of experience with this but from what I understand the netflix app from the Play Store will work you just need to find an older apk (version) of it. The newer version wants to go full screen and cuts off some of the video. However, I heard that from someone a few years ago. I have not used netflix on my passport personally.
  
  
• D- I don't have much experience with this either. Apparently the Play Store has a usable app.
  
  
• E- BBM has a Reddit app in it's App World called Reddit in Motion. However, I have heard there are some issues. From what I understand no Reddit app works perfectly. I personally use Reddit is Fun. I have the pro edition and have very few issues with it. Only thing that will not work is Imgur albums with gifs in them and some Imgur albums. They will crash the app.
  
  
• F- Again there is a native BB10 app. However recent reviews are mixed. Some say it works others say it's slow and non responsive. I cannot comment as to whether or not it works or an Android version is better. Crackberry has an article about the integration of it. It's from 2013 but if the native app still works this should be useful.
  
  
• G- I use the web brower for Facebook. I don't have many issues with it. You will not receive notifications though. Comment replies are a little tricky to click on but once you find out where the hyperlink actually is you won't have issues. I created a short cut to my app page for it.
  
  
• H- Not sure on Skype. I don't think it works for BB10 users.
  
  
• I. Again can't help you for music. I don't have many issues with the native player. If you are looking to stream Spotify is really your only option. I could not get Google music to work. An older APK of Google music might work for you but I have not looked into that.
  
  
  
  2) Get Cobalts Play Store on your device so you can sideload android apps. Here is a tutorial you can use. I can't find the exact one I used but this seems to be the same steps. I had the Play Store running in minutes.
  
  
• Also do not close any Android apps that you have downloaded by backing out of them. For example Reddit is Fun has a back tab to exit the app. If I do exit the app this way the keyboard gestures become unresponsive. To get around this if you want to close the app simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen to minimize the app and close it from the home screen (there is an X in the corner of all open apps)
  
  
• Finally, learn the keyboard short cuts and gestures. The keyboard is touch responsive. Here is a list of ones for the classic. Most of them apply.
  
  
• Some tips that aren't mentioned On the Passport when you want to delete a full word of text simply swipe right to left on the keyboard and it will go back an entire word.
  
  
• The Passport also has a virtual keyboard that is on top of the 3 physical lines. To flip between symbols and numbers slide down on the keys and it will open new options for you.
  
  
• To access the hub quickly from any app or position in the phone slide your thumb up from the bottom of the screen and to the right. I found this to be a big help.
  
  
  
  3) I was able to successfully and without synch all of my contacts through my Gmail account. I did not use the SD card method. Gmail also regularly syncs contact updates just like it would on my android device.
  
  
  
  4) This is the case that was recommended to me. I think it is great. If you are in the States you can search the name of the product they offer it out of the USA as well.
  
  Everything else I have kind of learned through trial and error. Crackberry.com is a great resource. I have only had my Passport for a

Which Passport? Original, AT&T Edition, or SE (Silver Edition)?

Following are for the Original edition:

One of the handful of different cases I bought. It's my favorite non-holster version

This one is still in stock (other colors available) and the design is the only holster-friendly shock-absorbing case available. There are other 'brands' that look identical. One of which is superior because the rubbery material is more elastic and the entire hard plastic surface has a non-skid finish. But it's now unavailable for purchase :(

I haven't installed mine until the original film comes off (it's been 11 months and now it is). This screen protector application removes all bubbles because you apply it wet then let it dry for a few hrs before use (i.e. do it before going to bed)
