So, the latest news is that BlackBerry Singapore has gotten approval from IDA for another model of the BlackBerry Passport. Rumours have it that it is the BlackBerry Dallas or Windermere2 and have a code name of SQW-100-4. The original Passport has SQW-100-1 and the AT&T variant SQW-100-3. Could this be the Oslo or something else?
Apparently, the device was originally slated for a June 30th release, but the device was pushed back into an early-mid July launch instead. Probably because of delay in getting approval?
The guys soyaincau saw the one for Malaysia:
The phone is purported to have:
LTE band support: LTE 700, LTE 800, LTE 850, LTE 900, LTE 1700, LTE 1800, LTE 1900, LTE 2100, LTE 2600 MHz bands
HSPA+ band support: UMTS 800/UMTS 850, UMTS 900, AWS 1700, PCS 1900, IMT 2100 MHz bands
GSM band support: GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1900 MHz bands
And if it is the Oslo:
It would get the same 2.2GHz Snapdragon 801 processor with 3GB of RAM, 3,450mAh capacity battery and the similar set of 3-row QWERTY keys. The back also gets the same 13MP OIS camera and likely the front maintains the same 4.5″ 1440×1440 pixels resolution display. Out of the box, it should be running on a newer BlackBerry OS 10.3.2 with its own host of business solutions like Blackberry Blend and BlackBerry Assistant.
