Classic for me...the passport design is damn ugly,is so wide, and i think will be so inconvenient to type, the keys looks smaller. I hope the back cover is made by same material as q10. (sorry for my eng if there is any mistake)

TrackPAD debuted in 09. Glass Storm was out in 08. Sad to see so many Z users stubbornly clinging to old 2008 tech "with no design innovation". By your logic, anyway. ;) Passport is too big, for me. Classic might be too big for me. Nothing sad about choice. Diversity is a wondrous thing! :)
How many trackBALLS are still in service? I haven't even heard of ANYone still using one for YEARS. If the mission of the Q20 is to "transition" EXISTING legacy users, those existing legacy users are overwhelmingly using trackPADS. No comparison, reliability wise.
Spinning clocks pretty much evaporated once the OS's matured.
9900's camera is infamous. Even the 9650 was better, imo.
That's my main concern as well. My hands aren't going to be growing any bigger, and the Q10 is already the perfect size for me to hold securely in one hand. I think I'll probably be able to handle the Classic as well, but the Passport is much too big for me to wrap my fingers around. I might be able to use it as a small oddly-shaped tablet, but not as a telephone. And if I needed a tablet, I'd be more inclined to go with something rectangular in the 7"-8" range, than with the Passport.

I know this is not gonna be 100% accurate, but i took the original upload on this thread and resized it so it would measure the 3,5 inch screen on my computer display. if it's some kind of correct the Classic will be measured 133x73mm. I put my q10 on the screen also so you can see the difference.
And again. It might not be accurate!!!
Just a fun thought.

Inspired by your post, I went one step further:

Yes, it should be printed to scale. I can pretend to have the Classic until November, lol.

Your image wasn't visible in the CB10 app, slagman. Hopefully my quoting it here will rectify that. (Edit: yup, that did it! Very funny too!)

It's weird, I posted it using the app, and yes, it doesn't show from the app. I checked from my PC and it shows fine on the computer... Odd...
I like the Q10, but two issues, screen too small and alas, a row of 'classic' buttons as with the 9900 wouldn't go amiss....i agree with all your points...well said.
Call answering and hanging is a major bug bear when using a touch screen device.

That looks comfy in the hand!
Cool!
Feel free to print and cut the Passport rendering of mine - that would be cool to see in hand and compared to the classic!
I'd do it if I could!
Sure man, I'll do that sometime when I'm bored, lol. Maybe tonight after work...
I have a feeling that the small space for the trackpad will be very annoying for users...I hope it doesn't affect the sales...If someone from BlackBerry reads this and they haven't finished its design, Please tell them to give it more space..for the sake of sales and profits.
I'd rather have no innovation if I get to keep efficiency. I had a BlackBerry Q10 and selecting text was a horrible experience even though I'm a fan of BlackBerry 10 OS. Even with the BlackBerry Z30 I currently own, selection just sucks.

Yes, it annoys me every time I need to select text, especially if I need the cursor close to an edge. Worse when there is like an x there to delete everything in the field, I try to get the cursor back to the end after editing something and bam, everything's deleted because I accidentally hit the x...

I agree. I still use a Q10 and selecting text is a jab-and-hope thing. With a high chance of repeating because it didn't happen right the first time. I was a lot faster with selecting, copying, and pasting in my 9900.

Nice Job
Where's the ergonomic keyboard. Lol
What a POWER post!!!!
Thats why I will get the CLASSIC!!!! Those simple steps!!!
And how many times did that crap happened, that took 5-9 seconds to hang up???
I am a POWER guy! Like Donald Trump! Not the money, but how he manages things! Time is money! When I wanna hang up, I do it quickly! I hate the gap between the last sentence and ending a phone! I like to do ASAP!!!!
With these full touch or even Q10 I always struggled! With Classic this will be a thing from the past!
Same with the speakerphone call!!! This little detail! How many times did that happen? When ending a call, you had to enter your PIN, search for the active frame, etc. No words!
Slagman5, you are a minister! Thanks for this great post!
[Thread worth: $12,000.00]
So Slagman5, how did you manage to grab yourself a CLASSIC??? LULZ!!!!
Lol! I wish it was that easy! :-D

that screen is tiny
If, you are going to watch a movie, yes. Mine will be used as a work station, for fun I use a pro tab from Samsung.
I really want the classic but the small screen/lack of apps is putting me down. Come on BlackBerry get the android runtime to work properly and deliver push notifications!

Excepting the Passport, Q20's 2.47 wide screen will be wider than ANYthing BB has ever made, to date. AFAIK. It's even a little wider than S4's 2.45" wide screen. Q20 might be too wide for comfortable single handed operation for some of us.
Damn i want this befor i go to london...common Ill have to wait four months if it comes out after september 3
