    There is. It's called Classic.

    No way classic is the right successor to Q10..its not that classy. Just a diff model with same specs and tool belt.

    The Passport is the natural successor to the Q10, but you're right, I think they should reissue the Q10 and sell it with updated specs.

    There won't be many more OS 10 phones in the future. There's no way you'll see anything close to a Q10 upgrade. Get yourself a clean version of the classic and be happy

    You asked for Q20 and Q20 is official mark for Classic.

    Classic does not mean classy.

    Nope. Just can't agree. Classic is the Classic, but not a successor to the Q.

    Well, you are just waving red flags in the bull arena . . . Is there a link to Blackberry.com that shows the Classic named as the Q20, rather than a third party website? I would think that would be the arbiter of final decision.

    Not that I would agree. Grudgingly accept perhaps, but definitely question the logic, the marketing and strategic reasoning . ...

    As you wish.
    OP wrote that he hope for BlackBerry Q20.
    BlackBerry made Q20. Even if they renamed it, that doesn't change the fact, that Q20 was made. I'm sure, that they won't name another model Q20.
    If OP was hoping for phone, that would be successor to Q10 by characteristics and form factor, he should put it that way, but he didn't.

    So, just to be clear. Even though the manufacturer does not, either at the time or launch or on the current product webpage, refer to the Classic as the Q20, you will call the Classic a Q20? Just to be clear.

    It wasn't meant to be a successor to the Q10, it was meant to transition BlackBerry owners of legacy devices into BB10. It has the same or very close to the same specs as the Q10. On top of that it was called the Q20 before Blackberry decided to give it the Classic name, which was just a marketing (we're just not used to seeing anything remotely like marketing from Blackberry and that alone threw us a curve ball) ploy.

    What is your problem? The manner in which you are carrying on makes me believe that you argue as to whether it is raining when you step out and find yourself all wet (which by the way you're doing here without stepping outside).

    I neither have issues nor see anything argumentative. By your statement, I would assume I should not engage in discussion. I was merely clarifying that the manufacturer decided not to call the device Q20. One may speculate to why it is not referred to as the Q, be it marketing or a realisation it is not successor. Or as you noted a "transition device". However, as noted the manufacturer does not refer to the device as a Q20.

    Notwithstanding the above, I think we can both agree there will be no BB10 phone to follow on from either the Classic or the Q10. Or the PP, the Zed's and the Leap.

    I've held on to these kinds of hopes for way too long now. However, I've come to realisation that this is not to be and that the only thing to do is to upgrade to the Passport SE, and adapt to its much larger form-factor.

    I've had my Q10 for two years now, and I still look at at times and think of how much a beautiful device it is. The BlackBerry Q10 will be known for one of the greatest and most elegant BB10 devices, IMO.

    I'm only switching to the Passport for its updated specs.

    Blackberry called it the Q20. Do your own legwork and find their reference to the device.

    I am optimistic that the leadership at Blackberry will see the folly of their ways and resume production of the most secure mobile device on the planet before I die.

    The Classic should have been released three years ago along side the Z10 and Q10 release in 2014.

    +1 it would have gotten many BBOS users on-board with BlackBerry 10 OS.

    I have an even better one for ya'll. THERE IS NO Q20, at all. There never was and never will be a Q20.

    The Classic and the Passport are not Q20's, they never were, not even a code name of Q20 existed for either of these 2 devices. And guess what? They're just a Classic and a Passport, that's it.
