BlackBerry officially launches the Classic, with a full QWERTY physical Keyboard.
BlackBerry
yesterday officially released the BlackBerry Classic with a full QWERTY
physical keyboard, physical navigation keys, and a touchscreen. The company has
for over a year now been stressing the fact they are going “back to their root”
– making QWERTY keyboard phones (as the name Classic even suggests) with mainly
business features. It has a striking resemblance to the Blackberry Bold series
but of course with significant upgrades. The Classic is actually possible to
use in one hand, unlike the huge Passport. BlackBerry formerly Research in
Motion believes this phone will appeal to those who love the traditional
BlackBerry (QWERTY) experience that made the company a market leader some years
back.
A brief rundown of the specifications of the
BlackBerry include a 3.5-inch 720x720 touchscreen, 1.5 GHz Dual Core CPU, 16GB
internal memory, 2GB RAM, 5MP front camera and 8MP back camera, all powered by
a 2515 mAh battery. The screen size is a
bit smaller than that of the already released BlackBerry Passport but still
very convenient to hold in one hand. The
1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm processor is a bit old but can perform relevant
functions like browsing and emailing purposes and that is what BlackBerry was
originally known for.
The
Classic runs on the recent Blackberry 10 loaded with features
like Blend, the Hub, BlackBerry Assistant, and the Amazon App Store
pre-installed through which it can access and run Android apps.
BlackBerry
says the Classic is available starting from the 17th of December.
The Classic is also available unlocked through BlackBerry and Amazon's online
stores for $449.
