BlackBerry Classic: The Familiar is Back and Better
Mary Odunuga
BlackBerry’s decision to bring back the QWERTY keyboard with the release of the BlackBerry Classic has got most BlackBerry lovers excited. We love the company’s innovation and its experiment with the new technology introduced with the BlackBerry 10 devices and the BlackBerry Passport, but die-hard lovers called for a come-back of the QWERTY keyboard and the company heeded that call with the announcement of the BlackBerry Classic.
The BlackBerry Classic is the classic BlackBerry phone you have always known but with a few enhancements on the edges and on the inside. It comes with a better QWERTY keyboard experience with complete hard keys, navigation keys and trackpad, the BlackBerry 10 Operating system, the best email service with features like the BlackBerry Hub which helps you access all of your messages in one place and the best battery life you can have on a BlackBerry.
Other features of this device are a large square touch screen of 3.5″ 720*720 pixel resolution for a better viewing experience, a 1.5GHz dual-core snapdragon S4 Plus CPU with 2GB RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera coupled with a 2MP front camera, 16GB of inbuilt storage and in addition to the growing BlackBerry Application catalogue, users will have access to Android applications too.
The BlackBerry Classic is available for pre-order and will hit the market shelves on December 17, 2014.
