Blackberry Classic

Written by

BBC News:

> Blackberry has launched what it calls a “no-nonsense” smartphone, the Blackberry Classic.
>
> The device has a full “Qwerty” keyboard, resembling the design which made Blackberry a market leader before it was overtaken by competitors.
>
> Analysts said the firm was going “back to its roots” in order to appeal to business customers.

If I was a Blackberry fan, I would no doubt like this phone. It does a nice job of packaging the stuff I like (touch screen, QWERTY keyboard) in a phone that looks somewhat like an iPhone 4 or 5. This is full on retro.

The key part of the review:

> “This is more about avoiding more people leaving than necessarily winning many over,” said Carolina Milanesi, an analyst for Kantar Worldpanel.
>
> “I have a hard time thinking that people who grew up on touch[screens] will see this as an exciting ‘retro’ trend and embrace it.”

Ouch.

  1. Almost as important for many BB fans: the trackpad. It’s the reason why my wife got a Bold instead of a Q10 or Passport.

  3. Of course it is. And for folks who truly don’t like typing on a tiny touchscreen, it’s the best there is.

  5. Here yah go,

    We just moved to an Exchange mail system where I work. We helped hundreds of folks move from our old mail service to the new one on iPhones and Android.

    We had ONE Blackberry user, who ended up going out and getting a new iPhone because we could never get email working.

    The one thing BB was supposed to be good at, with the #1 corporate mail solution. DID NOT WORK.

    We weren’t going to pay for Blackberry server software for one user.

    This is just the last galvanic muscle twitching of a dead company.
