I found out the other day Verizon will be getting the BlackBerry Passport his soon they go to the Volte and I call and talk with some one that do not work at Verizon. So do not jump ship everyone. Good things come to those who wait!! A soon the whole world will have to use Volte. And Verizon will have the best deal out there. If you can not wait try calling Blackberry to see if you can put in a special order so that you can use it on Verizon network.

Verizon can still carry the Passport. The Passport is not exclusive to AT&T In the U.S. Because a little Carrier called US Mobile also carries the Passport. The balls in your court Verizon to carry it early 2015.

Before Verizon can carry the Passport, BlackBerry has to make a CDMA version. So far nothing has reached the FCC for approval. At this point it's not up to Verizon. The ball is in BlackBerry's court.

I've been with Verizon since way back in the GTE days...yeah, that long. After three Android phonesin a row over the last 4 years and still displeased with the platform ( unit #3 is a Droid Turbo) it's three strikes and you're out, Android. Though attracted somewhat to the iPhone 6Plus, with enough sticktime on one I know I won't be satisfied with anything but a new BlackBerry (I formerly had a 8700g, & BB Curve 9320) I'm going back to BlackBerry, PERIOD...and I desire the Passport for my professional needs, and the Classic for my personal use.  Why? I want a professional communication TOOL, not an overfeatured and underproductive toy. So either Verizon ultimately gets the Passport, or I will, though I hate to, go with AT&T. 

True, Verizon has the Classic coming as per the BB website...but c'mon. Get the Passport, VERIZON.  The report posted by Code90 is VERY encouraging, and I hope it's the truth. The lack of BB support at my local Verizon store is sickening. When I went in for a new phone there was not ONE BB displayed, and they only had a few Z10's when I asked if they had the Z30 in November 2014.  Guess it's that way system-wide...another reason to look elsewhere, sad to say. Instead of Choosing what the Customer can choose from, Verizon; how about giving us REAL choices?  Please don't tell me to look at your roster of fine phones- if it doesn't show a Classic and a Passport, I'm simply not interested, Verizon.  What features am I looking for? Simply What Blackberry Offers. Ease of & quality, communication, A real Qwerty keyboard and BB security features are just the tip of the iceberg.

As far as we know, no one has been able to get a Passport to work in any way on Verizon, EVEN just for data.  Yes we believe/are told it has the correct LTE radio, it just doesn't seem to work.  Folks have tried.  (I'm a Mod at CrackBerry I keep up with things )
