Retro is a constantly recurring trend for all kinds of things or products but we strongly doubt that this is also true for mobile phones. Without a retro trend in mobile phones, the number of people potentially interested in a BlackBerry will remain very limited. A switch from an iPhone or Android device will not happen quickly. Despite its appearance of a real workhorse, the Classic feels dated in many ways.
Yet there is a target group for the Classic. If you want to be able to email, WhatsAppen, Facebook and Twitter on your mobile using an excellent physical QWERTY keyboard and not much more then the BlackBerry Classic is a good option. The Classic is mainly focused on productivity and not on entertainment during free moments while waiting for the train or an appointment. In its own niche for business users, the BlackBerry Classic is an excellent BlackBerry.
Finally, we would like to thank Belsimpel.nl for making this copy available. They have the Classic in stock and deliver it in combination with various subscriptions.
