Blackberry Classic....

As its name suggests, the BlackBerry “Q20″ Classic returns to a vintage physical QWERTY keyboard design.

The Classic appears to have an aluminium frame like phones in the BlackBerry Bold series, and a familiar rectangular shape with round corners.
Clearly with the Q20, BlackBerry are looking to keep on the good side of die-hard BlackBerry users, who might not be overly glad with the touchscreen QWERTY (Z10 and Z30), and the square BlackBerry Passport.

Full SPECIFICATIONS:

The BlackBerry Classic should spot a 3.5-inch, 1,440 x 1,440 resolution display with 582 ppi pixel density, a dual core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB of RAM, a microSD card slot for up to 64GB, feature either an 8 mega-pixel or 13 mega-pixel rear camera, pack a 2515 mAh battery, and run on BlackBerry 10.3 OS. 

Connectivity wise, the Q20 will have Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth v4.0, 4G LTE, and support NFC. 

The BlackBerry Classic looks to be an update of the BlackBerry Q10, and should delight BlackBerry purists when it does come out. More Photos below.

To close out the BlackBerry for Enterprise event today, BlackBerry CEO John Chen dropped the vital release details for the BlackBerry Classic that a lot of people have been waiting for. The BlackBerry Classic launch event has been set for December 17th in NYC, Frankfurt and Singapore. Pricing for the BlackBerry Classic has been set at $449 through ShopBlackBerry. Hopefully, it'll be like the BlackBerry Passport launch where the announcement was made and instantly available for purchase.
