We know that BlackBerry is poised to release an Android-powered device, what we didn't know is that the recent Silver Edition BlackBerry Passport can actually run Android. Fast forward to 5:07 in the above video and you can see the Passport running Lollipop without a hitch. We still expect to see the BlackBerry 'Venice' slider as the first official Android device, but this Passport seems run Google's latest mobile OS pretty nicely. We're not testing the Silver Edition Passport as BlackBerry isn't loaning out review units but it will be interesting to see if anyone else installs Android on the wide BlackBerry flagship.
