Seems to me the Classic was most mostly made for Bold users who's contracts were finally ending, just wondering how many people on a Classic actually switched from something else

I hadn't any experience with BlackBerry devices prior to last November, when I purchased the Passport.
I purchased the classic upon its release, and bought a leap just last week.
The classic is the least used of my devices. I used the passport as my daily driver for the past year, and now use the Leap.

I think you're right. Most Classic owners probably used the Bold in the past. I'm guessing very few came from touchscreen phones.
Over the last 8 or so years, the phones i've had are: Curve -> Bold -> Q10 -> Classic
Also, Gaudreau rocks!

I guess I should state my background too, iPhone 4s > LG G2 > Passport > Classic.
Go almost half and half between my Passport and Classic.
Addicted the large screen, but also just as addicted to the trackpad, toolbelt and the best keyboard know top thumb.

We can agree there!!

I came from a 9810 slider (OS7). Went with a Classic due to cost of a Passport.
If I had realized the PRIV was coming out I might have waited for it, as I loved the slider form-factor.
Having said that, the Classic has been very satisfactory.
I hit several bonuses at once:
- OS10 web browsing HUGELY better than OS7's
- the 9810 couldn't handle LTE cell, so that alone was a huge upgrade speed-wise
- My carrier brought out a REALLY great unlimited data deal - combined with the LTE speed, I NEVER use WiFi, because we have very slow internet - the LTE is far superior.
Last week i switched from a Galaxy S6 128GB to a BlackBerry Classic..
Man,i missed that keyboard ;)
No regrets at all
Well, before the Galaxy S6, i had the 9900 and 3x Q10's...

I never had the 9900 Bold, but I did have the original 9000 and the 9700 Bolds. But I got the Classic coming off a Z30 and I feel it was made for me as well as 9900 owners.

Never had a bold. Many many curves. And a 7130

I used curve 9300 > Z10 > Classic. I still like my curve 9300's keyboard but enjoying my classic as well.

I never owned a Bold. Storm > Storm II > Z10 > Q10 > Classic. I held on to my Storm II for way too long. I retrospect, I wish I would've given the bold a chance. I know now I would've loved it.

My first BlackBerry was the Z10. So never got a Bold :)

I have seen some people in the past say they switched from iphones. I switched from the HTC one M8 to the classic.

Iphone 3gs > xperia S (GOAT device) > xperia Z2 > classic
I never had a bold. First blackberry I owned was a Q10. In fact, the Q was really first real smartphone I owned. I came from a walmart slider.
Typed on the fantastic Pas�p�rt SE
My first blackberry is the classic. The last phone I had was an HTC and the one before that was an iphone 4s. Glad I made the change. Though I must admit the lack of some apps can be frustrating.

I never had a bold, my first blackberry was a Z10, Z30, Classic and a passport
Posted from my Passport
I started with a Storm II, then a Torch 9860 and now a Classic. First BB with a keyboard I've owned. Great phone.
Tour - Curve - Classic
I am taking a wait and see approach toward BB10/Classic, as I really don't like Android as an operating system.

I never owned a Bold, but I'm enjoying Classic trackpad and toolbelt... is the best device ever for one hand use imho

i used a bold for about week a long time ago ive used a z10,z30, and a passport before going to the classic and its the one i like the most as far as usability and comfort, the screen is big enough for me to read on and the phone is small enough to fit anywhere
Never owned a Blackberry Bold. iphone 5 to BB Classic almost a year ago.
What brought you to the good side, OS or keyboard?

I never had a bold either, i had Curve > Galaxy tab 2 > Classic
I never had a Bold. I started with a Pearl, then a Curve. I switched to a few Nokia Windows phones for a few years then a Galaxy Note 4. Just got the Classic about a month ago and couldn't be happier!
