People don't realize the specs of the Classic is a blessing in disguise.....
- Now for the life of me I don't know why people are complaining about the specs of the classic. First of all BB10 is an in house OS that is optimized !!! The classic is not made for the person craving high end specs, its made to get legacy users off BB OS 7 to BB10...you think business execs in Washington or CEO's care about a quad core 2k device when the intention of the device is to migrate users to BB10 from BB OS??? The only time specs matter is if you are a heavy gamer!!! And if you are you will buy a 16:9 ratio device not a 1:1 ratio sorry. Remember this device is only 720x720 resolution not some 1080p device....also 10.3.1 is extremely optimized big time.
Now the reason I say its a blessing in disguise is that they plan to support this device for years and years to come. Now remember this is the SAME SOC as the Q10...Z10....Q5 you know what that means. It means for years to come we will continue to get software updates big time.
So I see it as those who bought first generation BB devices that their investment is well spent since BB will still support those device for years to come.
For those complaining about specs the 2015 Roadmap will be for you trust me on this one.
All I can tell you is that when it comes to the high end device in that roadmap there will be not one tech site complaining about specs..
I can tell you the snapdragon 808 or 810 will be utilized and its in testing!!!
Oh by the way how I know you don't need high end specs to play android games
The Z10 uses the same 1.5 ghz dual core processor with adreno 225 and pushes more pixels than the Q series and classic and play android games perfectly....don't beleive me...watch the videos below..
Remember he is using 10.2 or 10.2.1 not even 10.3.1....

- I consider myself a power use and find my Q10 to be quite fast. Those who buy the Q10 or Classic will be quite happy, especially if upgrading from BBOS.HighFlight88 and LoneStarRed like this.12-17-14 07:41 PMLike 2
- Coming from the guy that said he guarantees the classic will be an underclocked 8960 pro with adreno 330
No need to defend specs that are underwhelming. They are using power that was introduced 3 years ago....its 2015 not 2012. Stop defending the current specs.

I agree... This guy need to stop it (he just hoping just like the rest of us) .. If specs are not important why did they put the high specs in the Passport. And according to him they going to put better specs in the future phones.

Z30 runs so much smoother than Z10, and runs Android apps much better too. As the platform becomes more reliant on Android apps, specs to run those apps smoothly will keep being a major issue. This is nothing more than repackaging written down hardware and charging over twice what it is worth IMHO.

When the specs suck its "This is a blessing, high end specs aren't needed." OP none of what you said makes much sense. They could have still put better specs in it to make it more appealing to those that still want the keyboard and trackpad but don't want the massive girth of the Passport.12-17-14 09:27 PMLike 0

- Again, we have an "in house" os but it also runs android.
Android apps need the specs.
I still say two Classics, one with a 1.5 and one with a 2.0 would have been perfect with $100 separation.

Thats right no one.... No other manufacturer can do this and that is what gives blackberry it's edge over the competition with this phone.... Enterprises and hardcore fans and some consumers are going to pick up this phone regardless of the specs..

I am that "guy". The single handed power house. I write alot so attempting to select a single character to edit it nearly impossible with my finger tip being 20 times the size of the character. The track pad allows me to seamlessly select anything I want quickly. I was also never a fan of the virtual key pad. So for me, the Classic is perfect. I will still use the Z30 as it is still an amazing phone, but the Classic will be my daily driver.12-17-14 10:33 PMLike 3

As for context, at most the target audience will be blasting away their emails and doing some heavy browsing. A more savvy user would sideload Droid apps. When you take this consumer into consideration, I highly doubt that specs will stop them from purchasing.
Now this is something I find hilarious: there are folks who justify their position by saying that the Classic is unnecessary because we already have the Q10, but in the same breath claim that the Classic will perform badly because the "specs" are old.... even though they just said that the Q10, which has "old" specs, is fast! That's a person who is talking out of both sides of their mouths.
The argument is pointless to me. If people are happy with their Q10, that's fine. There are users who prefer the the Bold silhouette and will gladly fork over their money for it.
... and I didn't even get started about the people who want a Superman phone with a huge, removable battery, but complain about the weight and cost of the phone. You simply cannot please everybody.ViaCassian likes this.12-17-14 11:16 PMLike 1 -
That would be cool enough...z30 is still really fast and smooth!
