Yep, and any recent Android will lag as hell as it's Android.
Just found out BlackBerry plans to issue BB Rome, hw kbd bar. Hope they won't hard lock it just as they locked Priv.

Do you suggest that when they release new Android phones, they'll be hard locked too?

You probably should take a look at passport in person, it's really good device, and with dead-or-alive status of the platform you may grab a good deal on it.
P.S. It's bulkier than it seems on photos.
There is also almost usable Sailfish port for Photon Q so I think for now it's the only recommendable device with hw keyboard and some kind of linux system. I know it's not that polished like n900 but still I am wondering why there is almost zero interest in this device here: in center of linux/hw keyboards followers.
There is also ancient HTC Desire Z but with only 512MB RAM.
