I chose the Classic because of the keyboard, and that I'm familiar enough with BB10 that I know how to find workarounds for those apps that I need (namely Android Whatsapp and Android Wechat).
I wouldn't recommend BB10 for a new user. It would be better to move to an Android device - which will be faster than the Classic in almost every respect.
Hope that helps - feel free to ask any questions. People in Singapore, where I am based at, laugh at me when they see me using a BlackBerry. Yes, the brand perception of BlackBerry is THAT bad.
It is an excellent device, no doubt. Just that using BB10 today requires quite a bit of tinkering to get Android apps working properly. And even then, the Classic is a slow phone by today's standards, so you have to be realistic and practical too.
Cheers mate!
