Specs wise passport is bera than ifone 6. Google it
U still don't get it. Specs doesn't really matter, its how manufacturers optimize their software. Blackberry passport has 13mp camera vs 8mp on the iPhone but the iPhone takes far better pictures. The iPhone takes better pictures than lots of phones with 13, 16 and even 20mp cameras. IPhone camera is regarded as one of the phones with best cameras. The only phones that take amazing photos like the iPhone are the xperia z3 and lumia 1020 and 930.

Blackberry passport packs 3gb of ram vs iPhone 6 1gb. Again optimization. IPhone doesn't need more rams because the OS is optimized, so why would they waste resources to include what is not needed. The OS is as smooth as butter. Android on the other hand is power hungry and needs more ram. My HTC one m7 with 2gb of ram and snapdragon 600 is a lot faster than my lg g3 with 3gb of ram and snapdragon 801. That is because HTC sense is more optimized than LG software.

So do not be deceived by specs.

Bugatti
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is a version of the Grand Sport with a Super Sport engine. It produces a maximum output of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp) @ 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lb·ft) @ 3,000-5,000 rpm. These figures allow the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standing in 2.6 seconds. On normal roads, the Vitesse is electronically limited to 375 km/h (233 mph).


Veneno
The Veneno Roadster is a limited (maximum 9 units during 2014) version of the Lamborghini Veneno convertible commemorating the 50th anniversary of Automobili Lamborghini. It has exclusive alloy wheels, Rosso Veneno (red) body colour and 2 bucket seats made in forged composite, woven carbon-fibre carbonSkin interior upholstery. The Veneno Roadster has a top speed of 356 km/h (221 mph) and goes from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.9 seconds.[48]



Now u see that bugatti beat veneno in strenght, speed, acceleration, brakes, and even handling.
Veneno is only expensive cos its a limited production. Puttin the two cars to a race is like puttin knife and gun to fight.
Like I said, specs alone does not determine the worth of a car. Some cars are just rare collectibles and are more expensive than some more powerful cars. An example is maybach exelero at 700HP. It is a lot less powerful than the Bugatti veyron supersport, Bugatti handles better but the maybach still costs 4 times the price of the Bugatti.

A 2015 Dodge challenger SRT hellcat packs 707 HP and handles really good, but it costs almost half the price of a range rover autobiography with just 510 HP.

I think the "beef" against BlackBerry is global.

Anyway, for those who don't know, BlackBerry devices now run Android apps. My Z10 runs Android apps smoothly. But you need to upgrade your OS to BlackBerry 10.2.1.
Blackberry make good phones no doubt, but they are always behind the competition and sell their phones too expensive in Nigeria because they know Nigerians are addicted to blackberry. Blackberry q10 for 130k at launch? Blackberry passport for 140k? Are u kidding me?

It is not about running android apps. Smart phones these days are like mini computer and companion, not just for making phone calls and texting. I can easily get a Nokia x if that is what I want.

Android phones had 720p display as far back as 2010 while blackberry launched the first 720p phone with the z10 and it was sold for 120k in Nigeria lol, a very lame phone.

What about camera? Android and iphones have had better cameras for years while blackberry keep playing catch up. Now they released the passport with incredible specs but then with awkward shape. Still the passport is no match for android powerhouses like the note 4, lg g3, xperia z3 or z3 compact, HTC one m8, etc. Don't even try to put it against the iPhone 6, u no get respect?

USB on the go has been available on android for years.

Blackberry just started making phones with 1080p display when android powerhouses are now making phones with ultra HD. Android are already switching to 64bit. IPhone have variants with 64gb and 128gb internal storage, even one plus one has 64gb variants while the passport has only 32gb?

What about IR blaster that is available on HTC one, lg g3 and g flex 2 abs Samsung Galaxy s5 and note 4? Have u even seen the note edge? Yes, I use my phone as a remote control to control everything from TV to home theatre and even Dstv and air conditioner. And then iPhone has apple pay.

Then there is wireless charging on lg g3, google nexus 6 and some other android flagships. Dude even the lumia 920 has wireless charging. Don't even try the dual front facing speakers on the HTC one series and nexus 6.

Now some android flagships already have fast charging (nexus 6, moto x, galaxy note, etc). They can charge a phone from zero to 70% in just 15 minutes.

Someone said android lags. I laugh, I bet he has only seen tecno, injoo and infinix android phones. When u use a true android flagship like HTC one m8, xperoa z3, lg g3, note 4, then u will know android is very smooth.

As u can see, blackberry are always playing catch up, they give u functions that android and iPhone already has 3 years later. Battery life, camera, functionality, ease of use; android and iPhone beats the sh*t out of any blackberry . and yet they sell those craps very expensive here in Nigeria.

Both the thief and the torturers are all the same.

If u can do this to a fellow specie only god knows wat u will do if u get a gone.

There is a reason for the judicial system, or shud we scrap it and just beat each other up wen things go wrong.
Pray u don't fall victim of armed robbery, then u will change ur view. They are brutal and shoot randomly without showing any sign of human. When u experience a robbery scene where people are killed, then I'm sure u will do more to this thief than those people did. I don't support jungle justice, I don't support burning of someone suspected for stealing from the market. But when an armed robber is caught in the act, it is normal for him to be beaten up provided he is later handed to the police. Trust me the police will do more than that to him.

Disadvantages of Train services
Oh really? So if someone crosses brt lane and he got crushed by brt bus u will say disadvantage of brt bus service. If someone crosses a 10 lane highway without watching and gets hit by a car what would u say? Disadvantage of having a good highway? Or someone decides to sleep on the runway and gets crushed by an airplane then u will say disadvantage of airplane service.

Eh so which mode of transportation do u suggest then?
Car TalkRe: Please What Is The Difference Between Camry CE, LE, And XLE by abatically(m): 5:56am On Feb 20, 2015
Ce is the base model (lowest trim) and comes with just basic features. Wheel cover, manual lock, some might not even have ac, etc.

LE is luxury/limited edition. This is the most popular trim and an upgrade from CE model. It has central lock and ac as standard with CD player and ac.

XLE is extra luxury edition and it is the one Nigerians call full option. Its got everything from sun roof to automatic ac, remote lock, electronic mirrors, etc. Xle is the most expensive.

Car TalkRe: My Camry 2008 A/c by abatically(m):
obitee69:
Bro I was in ur situation b4 Ladipo professors came to my rescue. What is wrong with your car is aa faulty AC compressor. I drive a camry 2007 SE. It has an automatic compressor which get faulty easily. It has an O2 sensor. I simply changed mine to a manual compressor and it blows ice cold! I cleaned out my condenser too. Itss fab. At a point I was scared. I bought the replica auto compressor and can u believe it spoilt aafter 10mins? So I decided to buy manual. Pls buy manual. It cost me 35k. Everytin sha I spent 45k. I am so happy with my muscle. The car only vibrates slightly when the compressor picks dats all. Now my babes are happy cos even though the lagos sun dey hammer, my interior is as cool as a freezer! Bawse!!
Using a manual compressor is not the solution. Ur rpm will drop and ur car will vibrate when u turn on ur ac. Those so called ladipo professors just killed ur car slowly and u are happy about that. Those baboons u call professor don't understand how the ac system works and it was easy for them to convince u to switch to the one they understand (manual compressor ). There is a reason Toyota placed an auto compressor there, as it is now ur car will consume more fuel when u turn on the ac. There is more to a car's climate control than just a chilly ac .

Just curious, what does o2 sensor got to do with compressor?

Ladipo is good place to source parts for ur car, but it is definitely not a good place to fix ur car. My reason is because that place is a market, a hustling ground where u don't know who is who. Most of the mechanics there are not qualified, they want to fix ur car as soon as possible so the next customer/victim can come in. Some fixing needs care and time but that is what u will not get at ladipo, everybody dey rush rush.

Car TalkRe: Does The Seat Belt Reflect The Actual Year A Car Is Made? by abatically(m): 1:01pm On Feb 18, 2015
The best way to know the year of production of a car is through the vin number. The 10th digit of the vin always denotes the year of production (at least for North American cars).
https://vinnumbercheck.net/images/vin-number-identification.jpg

Also the picture below might be of help decoding the year of production. If the 10th digit is Y, the it is 2000 model, if it is K it is 1989 or 2019 model, etc.

The seat belt helps too, but if a car was manufactured in late 1999, then it will have 1999 on the seat belt but on the vin it will denote 2000 model.

Car TalkRe: Why Are Nigerians Running Away From 607..please Tell Me Because I Want To Get On by abatically(m): 5:54pm On Feb 16, 2015
sultaan:
My though was more towards the fact that if you are spending $12k on either car the possibility of replacing a $300 part compared to it being $100 on the Toyota should not be a logical reason of passing on the Lexus.

The big picture is some who know what they are buying have factored in all probable issues while those who don't just look at the face value and that is what used car dealers depend on for real profit in Nigeria

Now here is how it all work for car manufacturers, they all have parts bin and corporate drivetrains every car is built around this parts to save money; basically they all share parts.
The engine EW10,EW12, and ES9 can be found across the PSA model line, so the engine transmission and everything on that car is not exclusive to 607 90% is possibly be used on 407 except for a few trim and body parts.

How can there be mechanics capable of fixing 407 but not 607 or how can the drivetrain of the 407 be good but 607 bad? They are both the same and these parts are shared across the group including Citroen
The suspension thing was just an illustration. A 15 year old luxury car probably would have lots of its parts failing and they cost a lot to replace. Why do u think a 2000 model Toyota Camry pencil light costs more than a 2000 model range rover? (At brand new the range rover would buy 4 of the Camry ).

left foot on the brake isn't a bad habit,instead that's what they assumed it to be...(Automatic ones)
If u try left foot braking in a driving test u will never get a license. The idea is to make sure ur foot is off the throttle before stepping on the brake. Using left foot to brake contradicts that as u might end up stepping on the brake and throttle at the same time. It is a bad practice ro use left foot on the brake, the right foot should adapt the the amount of force required to depress both.
