I'm another who traded the Passport for the Classic but also got a new Q10 added in the deal as well, even though I don't use the Classic as my main device ,at least I have it for those bored of device time for a change ideas.
On my reliable Z30
Great review! I'm waiting to make the switch from iPhone 6 to the Classic aka sexiest phone ever!
Just waiting for MWC to be over next month so I can see what else Blackberry may have in store (or lack of - I'm switching regardless. I can't imagine the Classic 2 or Q30 being any sexier than the Classic Q20!!!! :)
Classic and Passport is a great combo for somebody to dual wield.

Great review. I am having the exact same thoughts as you are being only 2 days in with my Classic. I didn't really think I would enjoy this device as much as I am since I am also coming from a Passport. I only got the Classic to try out and then go back to my Passport when I'm done playing with it. Still a tough choice, and at the end, it may be my Passport that may be the one I'm going to sell off. I would have never thought this before as I preached how perfect the Passport was for me and how it was the best device I have ever used.
Just lost my trusty Q10 last weekend. This is the perfect occasion for a treat!!
Just order my BlackBerry Classic, I'm sure I won't be disappointed... I was doubting about getting a new Q10, but decide to give a chance to the tool belt and also the bigger battery.

You know what's funny, it's really the screen,build, and keys that really make it. You'll see.

Graduated from the BlackBerry 9900 to the Q10...gave my better half the Q10, moved to the Z30, almost a year now...use the Z30 for work due to $$$ spent on accessories such as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse...excellent work phone and also PowerPoint, Word and Excel...hdmi to monitor...OTG cable for flash drives...confident with the Z30 for work with 10.3.1...also picked up the Classic as a personal phone and social media...Love It...no regrets at all...woo-hoo woot woot :-)

Thanks Op! That was a good review. Was actually surprised that one would trade the passport for the classic. That actually makes me want the device more. I'm still waiting here in the Philippines if my carrier is gonna offer it.

I brought the Passport as soon as AT&T offered it. Loved the speed, display, and BB 10. However, coming from a Torch, I missed the toolbelt/trackpad. I returned the Passport and got the Classic. This phone feels great! Someone else said it so well - it's like coming home. It's not as fast as the Passport, and the battery life has been a little challenging, but the trade off is worth it. I'm running circles around my business colleagues at the office. I really surprised myself. I was sure I would love the Passport which is a very nice phone. However, I'm a business user, and for me the Classic is unmatched for taking care of business.
