Latest Blackberry: From Passport to Blackberry Classic

It seems Blackberry are gradually rediscovering their smartphone manufacturing prowess once again this season after being so quiet for a while now and allowing other major competitors out there to be making some noise with their flagship devices.

Just within the space of 3 months, Blackberry has launched 2 different powerful smartphone devices in the market that will keep people talking about them for the rest of the year.

In the month of September this year, Blackberry came out from the dungeon with what many termed rugged Blackberry Passport which reintroduced the aging QWERTY keypads.

As if that was not enough to round off the year with, just 3 days ago yet another blackberry device, this time around the Blackberry Classic was released, making it the latest Blackberry phone in town.

With the Blackberry Classic at hand, one could only but start reminiscing about Blackberry earlier devices like the Bold’s and the Torch’s, because the Classic look more or less as an enhanced combination of both Bold and Torch.

For Blackberry deciding to go QWERTY again at this point in time when only touchscreen devices seems to have overshadowed every other keypads phones, questions can easily be raised if Blackberry is actually making the right moves, considering their recent ups and downs in the smartphone industries.

But the reason on the other hand for going QWERTY might not really be far-fetched, as these latest devices must have been manufactured out of consumers demand.

It is a simple ideology here; Blackberry fans requested for QWERTY keyboard devices, and Blackberry gave it to them in Passport and in Classic, and even in a more outstanding way.
