BlackBerry Passport launch event to be live-streamed tomorrow

As we wind down one of the most event-packed Septembers in smartphone launch history, BlackBerry is taking its turn tomorrow to launch their new Passport smartphone in an event that will run concurrently in Dubai, London and Toronto. We couldn't make it to Dubai, but we will definitely be covering the event in Toronto as early as 8:00 am Eastern time. It has been a while since BlackBerry hosted a huge launch event like this (last time was the BB10 launch with the Z10 and Alicia Keys). It also feels like forever since I've attended a huge product launch in my hometown. For anyone who wants to catch the proceedings, Blackberry is streaming the event live from http://live.blackberry.events/.

Post launch, expect to get your my first impressions on the new device as well as some hands on video and possible review to follow. Stay tuned for what we hope is a great comeback event from the company that started it all back in the day.
