Pre-orders are now being accepted for the BlackBerry Classic

Jonesing for an old-school BlackBerry? The company today introduced the BlackBerry Classic. For this model, BlackBerry brings back the touchpad for navigation, and teams it up with function keys such as send/end, back, and menu. BlackBerry also announced today that it is accepting pre-orders for the BlackBerry Classic, but only from certain regions. The phone is priced at $449 and will only work on AT&T and T-Mobile networks.

The BlackBerry Classic will be equipped with a 3.5 inch glass with resolution of 720 x 720. This works out to a pixel density of 291ppi. A dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon MSM8960 processor is under the hood with 2GB of RAM. 16GB of native storage is on board, and a 128GB microSD slot is included for those seeking additional memory. Back and front-facing cameras weigh in at 8MP and 2MP respectively. A 2515mAh battery powers the device.

To pre-order the BlackBerry Classic, simply click on the sourcelink below. If you are interested in the handset, we would suggest that you don't dilly dally. Considering how fast initial supplies of the BlackBerry Passport sold out, you don't want to find yourself shut out.
