Excellent communications hub ; BlackBerry Blend virtualisation software for computers and tablets ; Focus on security

Awkward form-factor ; Fractured software support

Its physical QWERTY keyboard is still aces ; Lots of good software touches ; BlackBerry holdouts will love the throwback design

Finding (and installing)apps can be tiresome ; Hit-or-miss performance ; Can't remove the battery ; Mediocre camera

Great hardware keyboard ; Respectable battery life ; Power user shortcuts

Mediocre camera ; Slow performance ; Lackluster software ecosystem

Excellent build quality. Lovely keyboard. Very good call quality.

Sluggish. Third-party experiences are seriously lacking.

Keyboard, BB Hub, better controls, solid design

OS can feel slow, hybrid approach to apps sometimes lets you down, can't swap battery, varied media experience, weak front camera

The BlackBerry Classic undoubtedly achieves its aims. This is every bit an upgrade of the Bold, exhibiting the same strengths, broadening the experience and offering more for the BlackBerry user. Of the recent BlackBerry launches, the Classic is the...

Sturdy, attractive design; Excellent keyboard; Long battery life ; Limited app support; Low-resolution display ; The Classic hits all the right notes for BlackBerry diehards, with a comfortable keyboard and long endurance.
