BLACKBERRY INTRODUCES BLACKBERRY PASSPORT SILVER EDITION

Refined design and enhanced features offer premium look with ultimate productivity experience

WATERLOO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – August 04, 2015) – Editors Note: There is an image associated with this press release.

BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY)(TSX: BB), a global leader in secure mobile communications, today unveiled the BlackBerry® Passport Silver Edition, a premium device built for business professionals who want a smartphone with the mobile tools they need to get things done – without sacrificing style or portability.

The BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition is in a class of its own, featuring a stunning silver finish with refined, curved corners, large square touch screen display and reinforced stainless steel frame for extra strength and durability. An essential business tool, the device delivers the same productivity enjoyed by other BlackBerry Passport products, as well as an updated QWERTY touch-enabled keyboard, battery power that lasts more than a full day of mixed use, and BlackBerry® 10 OS 10.3.2.

“We strive to deliver products that combine cutting-edge technology with purposeful, globally recognized design, and the BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition is the latest manifestation of this vision,” said Scott Wenger, Global Head of Design at BlackBerry. “It brings together BlackBerry’s latest OS platform, enhanced productivity features, and a refined industrial design based on customer and user feedback to deliver an unmatched experience for professionals who value precision and focus.”

Thoughtful Design for the Mobile Professional

Inspired by actual passports, the universal symbol of mobility, the size and form factor of BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition is portable enough to easily tuck into pockets and use wherever you go. Key features of the device include:

--  Large High-Resolution Square Screen -The BlackBerry Passport includes a
    4.5" square screen, 1440x1440 pixel (453 dpi) HD display and Corning®
    Gorilla® Glass 3 for added strength. 
--  Innovative BlackBerry® Keyboard - The BlackBerry Passport's
    revolutionary keyboard brings innovation to input with a responsive
    touch surface like a trackpad that lets you perform many touch functions
    directly on the keyboard. Scroll web pages, flick to type or slide along
    the keys to move the cursor, leaving the full screen space for viewing. 
--  BlackBerry® 10 OS 10.3.2 - The BlackBerry Passport comes preloaded
    with the new BlackBerry 10.3.2 operating system, including features such
    as BlackBerry Assistant and Amazon Appstore. 
--  Best-in-Class Battery Life - The 3450 mAh battery is the largest among
    the top selling smartphones and phablets and, when tested against a very
    active user, provides up to 30 hours of mixed use - BlackBerry's best
    battery power to date.(i) 
--  Dual app storefronts preloaded for access to a huge selection of apps
    for work and play: 
    --  BlackBerry World - BlackBerry World offers essential business and
        productivity apps for professionals looking to drive efficient
        communications and collaboration including Box, Evernote, Cisco
        WebEx Meetings and Documents to Go. 
    --  Amazon Appstore - Discover and download popular Android apps and
        games through the Amazon Appstore including Candy Crush Saga,
        Pinterest, SoundCloud, Kindle and Amazon Shopping. 
--  BlackBerry Assistant - The BlackBerry Assistant is BlackBerry's first
    digital assistant and can be used with voice and text commands to help
    users manage work and personal email, contacts, calendar and other
    native BlackBerry 10 applications. BlackBerry Assistant intelligently
    determines how to respond based on how the user interacts with it - if
    you type, it responds silently, if you speak, it speaks back and if you
    activate over Bluetooth, it speaks back with additional context because
    it assumes you might not have access to the screen. 
--  BlackBerry Blend - BlackBerry Blend 1.2 brings a new refreshed UI and
    additional functionality and is now available for all BlackBerry 10
    smartphones. BlackBerry Blend brings messaging and content on your
    BlackBerry smartphone to your computer or tablet. Get instant message
    notifications, read and respond to your work and personal email, BBM™
    and text messages, and access your documents, calendar, contacts and
    media in real time on whatever device you are on, powered by your
    BlackBerry. BlackBerry Blend works across multiple operating systems
    including Mac, Windows®, iOS and Android™. (ii) 
--  Premium Components - The device is built for the most demanding user
    with durable materials mixed with top-of-the-line technology, including
    a Quad Core 2.2 GHZ Processor, 3 GB RAM, 13 MP OIS rear camera and 32 GB
    memory expandable with a Micro SD card up to 128 GB. 
--  BlackBerry® Natural Sound - BlackBerry Passport comes with powerful
    speakers and a quad microphone system that delivers a high-quality
    listening experience. BlackBerry Natural Sound Technology is built in to
    adapt Wi-Fi and cellular call sound depending upon phone position and
    background noise, automatically adjusting volume so you don't have to.

  4. Am using the passport silver edition in Mumbai, there seems to be improved network coverage… calls seems to hold on in the dark network areas where usually calls used to drop. The feel is awesome to hold with the new back surface. does feel a bit heavy than the black passport. Also come default with 10.3.2 OS. Check Airtel 4G and Vodafone 3G successfully on the same. It would be coming to India in October.
