The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
The BlackBerry Classic will be launched by Verizon on February 26th. Big Red is charging $149.99 for the old-school 'Berry, with a signed two-year pact. That price is $100 above the $49.99 2-year contract price that AT&T is charging for the same phone. However, Verizon is offering $50 back in the form of a mail-in rebate to those who purchase the phone before March 16th. Verizon's after rebate price for the BlackBerry Classic, $99.99, is still $50 higher than what AT&T is charging.
The BlackBerry Classic was produced after CEO John Chen realized that the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 was still selling well despite running on the previous generation of BlackBerry's OS. The Classic takes the physical QWERTY from the older Bold model, adds back the old function keys, and stuffs the phone with the latest build of BlackBerry 10 (10.3.1).
Verizon is even offering a $50 mail-in rebate on subsidized purchases of the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10. Again, just make sure that you make the purchase no later than March 15th. The rebate form must be postmarked within 30 days from the purchase date of the phone.
