BlackBerry Passport

If you loved the design of last year’s BlackBerry Passport, it looks like BlackBerry has something even better in the works. N4BB has obtained some pictures of a device called the BlackBerry Oslo that appears to be a redesigned BlackBerry Passport that smooths out a lot of the original device’s rough edges. And we mean that literally — one of the most striking things about the Oslo is that it now features smoother, rounder corners and edges compared to the sharp and boxy Passport, as you’ll see in the picture below.
