#3987 — Blackberry tries out a square device

Give them credit for experimenting, at least, although technically this
isn't the first device they've created that had a screen that was
essentially square.  I for one find it hard to believe cellphone
evolution is going to come to a halt with iOS and Android.  I hope not,
anyway.

Here's a follow-up from OSNews:

Great keyboards are in our DNA. With BlackBerry Passport, we set out to                                   
create a smartphone that would break some cherished rules in order to 
set a                               
new bar for real productivity. In particular, BlackBerry Passport's 
keyboard                              
will show there is an easier way to do more. This is exactly the kind of                                  
stuff I want to see from BlackBerry: instead of trying to copy everyone 
else                              
and build yet another black glass slab, they should build on their 
strength             
and go from there. The Passport looks to be exactly that. I have no idea 
if  
anyone cares or if it's too late, but I love this thing.
