Gallery: 24 Great #WhiteClassic Images Created by Our Photoshop-Savvy Fans

No matter how buttoned-up you tend to be when powering through your biggest workloads, it’s okay to have a little fun once in a while.

“All work and no play,” and all of that…

So when we asked our creative fans to send us classic black and white images with a white BlackBerry Classic inserted into them, we received a ton of responses.

If you’re in the UK, you can get your white BlackBerry Classic ON SALE NOW from ShopBlackBerry for £319.00, £30 off the regular price of £349, and customers can get theirs in Indonesia and Hong Kong and carrier retailer stores in select European, Middle East and Asian countries over the next few weeks.

(Read HERE for the announcement, and about upcoming color options in blue and bronze, complementing the black and white editions!)

The white BlackBerry Classic ended up in the famous (and infamous) hands of pop culture icons, artfully presented in chic, high-end presentations, or even thrown out there in interesting abstract concepts.

There are 50+ great images posted in the comments on our original blog. Many thanks to Donny H, carlos, Matteo Vismara, Mobibreak, Julian, BlackBerryClubs, David B, Josh Wedekind and the very very prolific Walter Arsenault!

There are more than we can run here, so to take a look at the entire range, head to Twitter and search for #WhiteClassic and behold the glory of our Photoshop-savvy fans.

#WhiteClassic Meets Geek Culture

BlackBerry fan @SimpleBerryRoy went for the “geek cred” with his submissions:

Apparently, Darth Vader likes to pair his fearsome red lightsaber with a white BlackBerry Classic. I guess it helps him keep on top of running the Empire:

The Dark Lord of the Sith popped up in a submission by @OhhJoy, too:

According to @_apoorv, Star Trek’s Captain James T. Kirk can even put in a call to Priceline:

Darth Vader isn’t the only bad boy representing. Batman nemesis The Joker pops up in this iconic image from The Dark Knight by ‘Why I Hate BlackBerry’ video blogger, @J_Caloy:

Speaking of Batman, @SimpleBerryRoy also sent us this:
