Customers and reviewers to date have certainly been inspired by the Classic. Read our Q-and-As with satisfied BlackBerry Classic users, including this digital marketing agency CEO , this Toronto Maple Leafs executive , this club DJ , this arts photographer , and this high-tech CTO . And read our roundups of glowing media reviews of the BlackBerry Classic HERE , HERE , HERE , HERE , HERE , HERE and HERE .
We think that’s because the Classic takes the best of BlackBerry over the years, but updates it in a package that compared to the BlackBerry Bold 9900 , sports a browser that is 3 times faster, a screen that is 60 percent larger, and a battery that runs 50 percent longer.
Are you a photography auteur or a Photoshop ninja? Now’s your chance to show off those skills. To celebrate this stylish new color variant of the BlackBerry Classic, we’d love to see your best efforts at taking this classic device and framing it in an unforgettable way.
