    Ok, I understand about keeping things hush hush until launch. I get it. But I feel as though the classic has been "coming soon" since March. Any new articles or news that pop up, not just on this site, are just the same old "it's coming soon but we aren't really sure when but maybe November but maybe January".

    It seems frustrating that Blackberry wants to stage a comeback but they are so cryptic and slow with releases. It's like, pick a date, announce and stick to it. I would think they would want the Classic out for Christmas/holidays. I really would like a Classic, but it is very annoying when it is supposedly a month before launch and we honestly don't know when it is coming.

    Just venting. It is frustrating because I love Blackberry phones but the way they have handled this is not encouraging.

    Let me know when the do something that is encouraging....

    Chen said November, way back in June - but he did say anything during the latest Earnings Report or during the launch of the Passport to confirm that. And who know if the apparent demand for the Passport might throw production for the Classic back...

    I "get it" as well.
    That's why I don't ask. ;-)

    Agree on this. And why not? Passport seems to be picking up slow and steady. And it seems it may well be sensible to wait before releasing Classic. Passport needs to yield maximum returns.

    Likely tied to BES12 release. The Classic is aimed squarely at getting BBOS corporate issued devices migrated over to BB10.

    Delay the release in USA by another month and then expectations are set.
