2. “Appealing and familiar . . . Classic is a welcome nod to BlackBerry's past . . . The backlit keyboard
on the Classic — with straighter frets than on the Bold — lives up to its heritage . . . Classic is just
what the more traditional BlackBerry diehard has been waiting for.”
- Edward C. Baig, USA Today
3. “The Classic has been eagerly
awaited by BlackBerry enthusiasts
and it absolutely hits the mark
for that audience, those who care
far more about a clicky, physical,
full-size keyboard than installing
Instagram . . . I found the keyboard
and trackpad a refreshing change
. . . The stand-out apps are the
BlackBerry Hub and the browser,
though there’s plenty to please
business users and the security-
conscious here too.”
- David Nield, TechRadar
4. “The BlackBerry Classic is like going to a Rolling Stones concert: you’ll hear some good new stuff,
but you’re really there for the greatest hits. The Classic will be a welcome upgrade [with] a great
keyboard, excellent security and all-day battery life . . . Verdict: The Classic hits all the right
notes for BlackBerry diehards.”
- Mark Prospero, LaptopMagazine
5. “The BlackBerry Classic brings the promise of the speed and performance of BlackBerry 10 with
the familiar and classic navigation keys you know and love . . . It’s a device purposefully built to be
reliable . . . I really love the BlackBerry Classic and I think it will be a great device for whoever picks
it up.”
- Bla1ze, Crackberry
6. “For getting work done –
especially if that work
involves typing long
emails or even
documents – the
BlackBerry Classic is the
right tool for the job.
The keyboard is simply
wonderful [and] it’s
oddly satisfying to use –
the BlackBerry projects a
sense of productivity and
even status.”
- Molly Wood, The NewYork Times
7. “Much like Antonio Stradivari perfected the violin in the early 18th century, BlackBerry has
mastered the physical keyboard, and from everything I’ve seen, it will not be surpassed. You
should take a close look at the BlackBerry Classic – you’re not going to find anything better than
the legendary BlackBerry keyboard.”
-Micah Singleton, The Verge
8. “The Classic combines
all qualities that once
made its maker a
powerhouse in the
smartphone realm with
modern functionality,
headed by integration of
Android apps . . .
Corporate types with
years of BlackBerry
experience might find it
to be just what
the doctor ordered.”
-GSMArena
9. “This thing is a productivity machine. All of the security enhancements and tools that Blackberry
put in place to support the enterprise over the years are here . . . The Blackberry Classic is an
important phone and it’s a true Blackberry in every sense. It’s usable, fun, and efficient . . . What
do I think of the Classic? I really like it.”
- John Biggs, TechCrunch
10. “[T]he BlackBerry
Classic is everything
that BlackBerry users
need it to be. It’s a
current, up-to-date
phone with great
build quality and an
almost perfect
physical keyboard and
control system. [The
Classic is] the best
BlackBerry in years.”
- Cam Bunton, PhoneDog
11. “There was general admiration among the Barron’s staff for what seems to many a very well-made
BlackBerry in terms of fit and finish and feel in the hand. My colleague sighed with delight at the
feel of the hardware keyboard . . . To type once again on that famous BB keyboard seemed to him
much like ‘coming home.’”
- Tiernan Ray, Barron’s
12. “For the BlackBerry
faithful, the Classic is
a sight for sore eyes. It
offers that familiar
(and terrific) typing
experience with
excellent enterprise
security. If you want to
relive the glory days
of physical keyboards,
the Classic is the
perfect device for
you.”
-Brandon Russell, TechnoBuffalo
13. “Classic design never dies. It remains evergreen in our minds and it becomes the benchmark
against which everything else gets judged . . . This new [BlackBerry] is more than just a case of
putting ‘new wine in an old bottle’, it has done a great job of merging the old with the new. [The
Classic] is one device executives and businessmen can blindly invest in.”
-R. Dinakaran, The Hindu Business Line
