My next phone was going to be a Gemini PDA but (while it's amazing they got it to market and it's an impressive bit of hardware) it doesn't compare to the sound quality of the Passport and the keyboard is actually quite hard to use.

And "apps" is another word for clandestine data collection. Sms, web and email is all I need and it does them excellently. I feel they avoided a lot of the bullshit I see on ios and android by positioning it as a business not consumer device.
