Why so much hype about Passport and not Classic?

Right now - it's honestly the Q series and Bold 9900 series that's BlackBerry's best offering for communication and mobility for the professional, and which way you lean depends on your needs - but when the Classic is released, there's simply no comparison.
Honestly - I get the toolbelt as a reason for not upgrading, but if the Classic flops, it won't be BlackBerry's fault - they've done a tremendous job with BlackBerry 10 and if legacy users want to stick with their legacy devices because of a few "missing features" it'll be because they can't or don't want to adapt to a new way of getting the job done, which isn't necessarily slower or faster, just different.
I hope for some good results with the release of the Classic.

It really depends on what the few missing features are, if it's something essential (removable battery, keyboard assigned keys, skins, speed dial, programmable LED Api), then it wont sell well with the legacy crowd.
Why should I have to relearn something so basic as accept/decline phone calls OR recent apps in favor of live tiles ? That doesn't make sense to me so I am not willing to relearn it, period. Battery as always if it's not removable no interest in the phoney.
BB 10 did have enough time to add the legacy features if they are still missing G3 cat 6 or Note 4 are very tempting.
Personally I hope both phones sell well but if they don't BB only has themselves ans some wrong decisions to blame

What amazes me is how much money that has been flush down the drain.
What amazes me is how much money that has been flush down the drain. The more and more I think about how much money ML/RIM has wasted over the years under RIM. I don't know if John Chen can undue the years of poor decisions in a short time frame. Looks like at one more year.
