Texting freezes up completely? You got 3 posts so far (all of which I may add, are criticisms of the Classic) and you come into this thread with these sweeping statements? How often does texting freeze, and please elaborate on that a little more. Did you install a leak, and out of 10 attempts to send a text how many times did it freeze? Did you consider it might be a problem with your BBID or carrier setup? When you say search is slow, slow compared to what? Is the search still going after you made your morning coffee, or just slow as in you think it's slow? What baseline are you comparing the slowness to?
By the way 3 post Rob (and OP), your summary of the Classic seems unusual when taking into consideration the time spent from many other users to provide positive feedback like the following person:

I find there are 3 major categories of trolls on BlackBerry articles (not necessarily saying the OP is a troll though)
- ex-fanboys for sure, who have switched to another platform but have grievances they can't let go of (or still just trying to justify the switch to themselves)
- users who never used BlackBerry devices before, let alone the latest ones and just want to trash talk
- short investors on BBRY stock. These are the most complex and troublesome of the bunch (IMO)
#3 can also be 1 or 2 as well.
Coming from a iphone 6 user, I hated the lightness, pretty glad classic is heavy, feels like it won't slip out of my hands.
As for slowness, not sure if it's the os or the specs (first bb), but I definitely can tell my iphone to be way smoother compared to my classic in app wise.
No deal breakers to me though, this phone does what I want with awesome batt life

I like a heavier, thicker phone and I didn't find the Q10 to be unreasonably slow so I think I'll be satisfied with the Classic once I get one. Right now I'm using the Passport and just can't seem to conform to the keypad after xxx months of use. I am sure I'll miss the Passport's large screen, though. In this regard I'll hate to give it up.

I've noticed a definite lag since owning the Classic. It's frozen on me a couple of times now, but I still love the phone. I see your point though, OP.

I really like the look of it, very stylish phone, but unfortunately its not easy to carry around as a secondary phone because of its weight and size. Q10 is an almost perfect secondary phone in 2018, easy to carry around, but if only it had the tool belt. I am thinking of buying Bold 9900 or 9790 as a secondary phone because of tool belt plus size, but not sure if the Gmail contacts can be synchronized in BB OS 7 in 2018.
For bold 9900 you need bis server active to your operator. It better to take q10 or classic no need bis server for email and sync Google contact or agenda. Screen and tool beld of classic it is very compary to q10. But it is a choice if you want small phone. ( I have classic and q10)
Love Peace and Share
Classic is as close to 9900 as you’ll get without BIS requirements. Since both are supposed to EOL in 14 months, odds are little better that Classic may still operate since BIS not required.
Every BB device running BBOS 7 and below will for sure stop functioning besides calls and sms right ?
BB10 will be so crippled anyway that it'll stray even closer to feature phone status with a QWERTY than a full smartphone.
Even for whatsapp, since BBW will be shut down, how would one get the WhatsFixer to be able to send/receive media ? (Assuming whatsapp still even works on the runtime by then).
You will probably need outlook for full featured but Im not 100% on that.
The native calendar is great, ics export iCalendar 1.0 and 2.0; Should sync all your meetings, tasks and notes when setup with the BB Hub. Which also provides the option to view your folder hierarchy and whether or not to sync the files or emails within.

Yea I agree, passport is better with apps, and Ive owned a few classics.. seemed like sqc100-2 from AT&T(had wireless charger) worked better than the other models. If you can cope with less apps, and using whats built in though I think it is still fast enough.
