The problem with the Passport was that it didn't have the Google store. 95% of developers couldn't be bothered to submit their applications to Amazon.

- frosted-flakes 7y agoNot by default it didn't, but if you had any sort of technical know-how it was fairly easy to sideload it on.

And it was a super outdated Android runtime that ran like dogshit compared to the native BB10 apps. Also, if you wanted any sort of Google Play services stuff, you had to have an app on a laptop/desktop to sign all your apk's the same and remove a specific check... and you'd have to do it all over again every time you wanted to update an apk with play services. Not ideal.
