Blackberry Classic... The best BB10 device?
I've been thinking lately about the BlackBerry Classic. Initially I thought what are they playing at? Why are they going backwards in terms of technology? Why bring back the scroll when everyone has just managed to get along with not having one?
But... I honestly thing this could be the one. I'm sure the old fashioned business user doesn't like fiddling about with touch screens. These guys have to quickly message whilst on the go, and sometimes without even looking at their phone (which a lot of BlackBerry users can do on physical keyboards). Imagine walking in a busy city and having to look down at your touch screen phone all the while? Messing about with just missing a letter on your touch screen so you have to go back and delete it then re-type the correct one. You'll get home more beaten than George Groves.
Having the ability to scroll, the toolbelt, having the ability to type on a physical keyboard AND the ability to have the option of touch screen, with the great camera, all these new apps, hub, gestures etc etc. I think this phone is going to do better than all the BB10 phones to date. These business users will jump at it surely? It's got EVERYTHING all of our BB10 devices have, and more. The one thing they are missing, which we missed at first, the toolbelt.
Remember just how good the Bold 9900 was? Probably one of, if not the best BlackBerry of all time. I think, with the new OS, the Classic could be the new 9900... but even better.

Blackberry Classic... The best BB10 device?
I understand why the classic is been introduced to bring some of the OS7 folks over to OS10 in the enterprise world.
As for me and most everyone I know who use to be a physical keyboard person have all converted to an all touch device and are not looking back.
I think an updated all touch device with a fast processor and great graphics, a good form factor, priced right and with some marketing, would sell.
Touch devices are what 99% of the market is using now, so if I was going to put out a device to get me back in the game, that would be my choice.
