    The BlackBerry classic has got best 'specs' in the world of QWERTY smartphones (with a physical keyboard) and toolbelt. Looks sturdy and the bigger battery ( comparing to my BlackBerry Q10) helps too.

    I like the compactness of this phone, and it looks professional to met. For those who swear by compact form factor , powerful communication ( mainly email and texting) features of old model BlackBerry's, this could be a transition to modern BlackBerry 10 OS. The ability to run 'some ' android applications can save them in a bad day too.

    Beats pressing a sieve against one's ear while balancing a laptop bag , jacket and a coffee cup while packed in a crowded elevator!
