    Classic touch keyboard: Not going to happen. Standard Q10-style four rows (the touch keyboard is innovative, which the Classic is not ).
    Classic on Verizon: Unknown, hopefully it'll come out.
    Classic in November: No earlier, probably.

    The leaked os points to a verizon version. I personally don't think that we will see it this year. Maybe January

    Definitely no touch keyboard

    NO TOUCH KEYBOARD ON THE CLASSIC.

    There, the info is confirmed.

    Don't be too sure. The Passport has a Verizon version in the OS (SQW100-2) and is no where to be found.

    My guess is that Verizon passed on the Passport and felt the Classic was what they want to go with. It's a device more familiar to their legacy users, it appeals to a broader audience, and it's cheaper. It's harder to sell a premium BlackBerry like the Passport in the US.

    In the z30 came out in Nov 2013 and dumped around Aug 2014. There's no new phones from BlackBerry to replace it with yet. Maybe it eventually sold out? We know there were only limited quantities to begin with.

    Verizon just did that swap program with BlackBerry. Hope it points to them continuing to work together.
