@n0nce this is probably one of the best hardware wallet reviews I ever saw on bitcointalk forum, and I am sure it will attract other people who are not registered in this forum.
I do think that Passport needs a lot of improvements, especially with their display, that is weak spot in many hardware wallets like incase of ledger.
I even saw someone saying that after little use of Passport wallet their screen started to show signs of malfunction, but that could be exception not a rule.

I think that price should be lower, they need to make better battery solution, and remove all the games bloatware.
Compared to ColdCard I think they are going in right direction, releasing everything in public and going open source as much as possible.

ColdCard is from Canada with higher and more expensive costs then the US in a lot of places and they have theirs for under $150.
Nothing personal, but I have to be honest and say that ColdCard looks like a cheap calculator, it uses cheaper materials like plastic and should I mentioned all the crap they are doing now.
They are not open source anymore, they removed reference for ever using trezor code, and now with NFC they are not air-gapped anymore.
It's not a big problem to hire workers from Vietnam, India, East Europe or similar places to work in Canada and make cheap hardware wallets.
