One of the best phone for business user

Posted: Jul 11, 2018, 11:43 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

Definitely I can say this is one of the best phone for business user like me.

Currently I'm using this Blackberry Classic to accompany my Huawei Mate 10 Pro PD as daily driver.

I really love this phone build quality and start screen. I read some bad review for this device multimedia but this is a business phone so I wont talk about that. The typing experience? MARVELOUS!

Blackberry push mail still one of the best and real-time 'til now and really help me with my daily tight schedule and multiple company email.

IF you need a secondary phone special for business, this is definitely your choice !

Great phone for your daily work. Fast composing emails with the keyboard. Very accurate when browsing with the touchpad. I use this phone for my daily work, create emails, make appointments. The sound of this phone with phonecalls is very clear and loud. If you do not need this as a gaming phone it is absolutly a great phone.

A Classic phone for the Classic population

Edited: Dec 10, 2015, 10:07 PM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

The Blackberry Classic has been my daily phone for the past three months. The only time did not satisfy my needs/requirements was when I did not have Snapchat on the phone.

Im no business owner or have a job where I need to send hundreds of emails of day. Im an average joe that grew up with Android phones. The reason I use BlackBerry is due to its reputation for helping said people with their tasks. Coming from a Q10 ive realized the BB10 os is very underrated.

Im very pleased with the phone. The only thing I dont like is the camera.
