????像大多數人一樣,，我在我自己的手機上用的也是虛擬鍵盤,，我發(fā)現要重新適應實體鍵盤還有點麻煩,。尤其是評測的第一天,，我差不多是盲目地按著那些按鍵，試圖拼出連貫的句子,。（幸運的是,，盡管使用了實體鍵盤，但黑莓10依然有拼寫糾錯功能,。）隨著時間的推移,，這種痛苦感慢慢變淡了。不過我仍然不確定用慣了經典黑莓鍵盤的人是否會為Passport的鍵盤唱贊歌,。

????PassPort的鍵盤還有另一層功能——它還是一個隱蔽的觸控板。如果你用手指掃過鍵盤,，它就能實現翻頁,、郵件和刪除文字功能。雙擊還可以激活文本選擇工具來精確地編輯一個文檔,。

????在你發(fā)現這項功能的一剎那,，感覺還是挺新奇的——但這種新奇感很快就消退了。那么大一塊觸屏不去使用,，反而把鍵盤當觸控板,，這種感覺還挺尷尬的。另外在我打字的時候,，文本選擇工具經常被激活,，導致光標的位置都變了，因此我輸入的文字錯了位,，讓人很沮喪,。

????我也希望愛上Passport觸控式實體鍵盤的卓而不群,，但最終卻并沒有找到我苦苦尋找的驚喜。

????在測試結束時,，我放下了Passport,，但我卻并不覺得悲傷。這款設備大膽地獨辟蹊徑,，讓我很難不對它表示尊敬,，另外這款手機顯然還是有屬于它的小眾市場。不過對于那些仍然抱著老款設備的黑莓用戶來說,，Passport或許不是你心目中的那臺黑莓,。對于已經投奔其它平臺的用戶來說，恐怕他們也很難轉投回來,。

????那么我們?yōu)槭裁匆诤鮌assport呢,？在花了不少時間評測這臺設備后，我對這個問題仍然沒有很好的答案,。我知道現在有很多人談論這款設備,，順便也談到它的制造商黑莓。現在想來,，或許這正是原因所在,。（財富中文網）

????Like most people, I use a virtual keyboard on my personal phone. I found it a struggle to readjust to a physical keyboard. The first day I felt like I was blindly mashing the keys in an effort to elicit coherent words from it. (Luckily, BlackBerry 10 includes a mechanism to correct misspelled words, even when a physical keyboard is used.) The pain eased over time. Still, I’m not sure that traditional BlackBerry users who are quick to profess admiration for the classic BlackBerry keyboard would be singing praises of the Passport’s version.

????Moreover, the Passport’s keyboard has a secondary function: it’s a covert trackpad. You can swipe your finger over it to scroll through spreadsheets, navigate emails, and delete words. With a double tap, activate the text selection tool to precisely edit a document.

????Once you find the functionality, it’s a novelty—then it wears off. I found it awkward to ignore a fully capable touchscreen to use the keyboard as a trackpad. What’s more, I repeatedly activated the text selection tool as I deliberately typed, which changed the focus of the cursor and thus the destination of my entered text. Frustrating.

????I wanted to love the ingenuity of the Passport’s combination trackpad-keyboard, but I failed to have the “Aha!” moment I was so desperately looking for.

????By the end of my testing, I wasn’t sad to put the Passport down. It’s hard not to respect the device’s bold departure from norms in the category, and there’s clearly a niche market for a device like this. But for the vast majority of BlackBerry users still clutching legacy devices, the Passport is not the BlackBerry you’re looking for. And for those who have moved on to other platforms? It’s difficult to go back.

????Why should we care about the Passport? After spending quality time with it, I still don’t have a solid answer to that question. I do know people are talking about it, and by extension, its maker. Now that I think about it, perhaps that was the point.
