Review: Think I'm a BlackBerry convert just wish facebook and whatsapp would be included in the hub - Oh My DAYS! Where has this phone been all my mobile phone years? I've been through phones galore trying to find the right one for me. I bought this model second hand from amo and I have to say going back to a keyboard and qwerty at that is such a wonderful experience. Just holding the darn thing let me know immediately that it is a quality product. The weight is nicely balanced. Fits easily in my handbag or pocket. Never lost connection even when colleagues are on the same network and lose connection on their Samsungs and iPhones. I had an iPhone 3GS years ago was great until I got fed up as it became slow so I jailbreaked it. Then I had a wonderful experience with it as it became faster but the apps only worked for a certain while then crashed. Moved onto Samsung Note 2 and caned the phone. Was a great phone though so went for the note4 and what ahorrible experience. Touch and swype were erratic. Tried the z3 compact but the touch went on it fast. Was a nice phone to hold. I am a very small woman with not long fingers. Exasperated with what was available and missed calls etc not being notified on time etc I wanted to try something different and old skool. Enter the BlackBerry Classic. For an old phone it runs just as fast as my gf's LG5. Which is still lighting fast. Oops I almost forgot I had the LG3 which worked but the battery drained really fast after a year. Now facebook only works in the browser and no notifications within the hub for BlackBerry. The whatsapp is not going to be available soon for BlackBerry users. BlackBerry give us BlackBerry world. Not very many apps and the apps I tried e.g Pocket etc just don't work. You can download apps from desertcart and they seem to work better. Not comparable to the lovely Note 2 or LG3. I took the chance and delved into the apk world. Oh my goodness. Many many apps to choose to download and all work extremely well. I tried to incorporate Snap the app alternative incorporating Google play. I haven't been able to incorporate it yet but I'll keep trying. If you have trouble with Snap do what I did and Google for apks for the apps you want. Intuitive downloads MUCH better experience for downloading as you save it within your file manager folder and then install when YOU choose to install it putting the power of installation back into your hands. The ringer can be set to very loud. I'm a bit hard of hearing certain sounds in one ear yet the calls I take are crystal clear. Texting is easier as I like these buttons and find that I can type faster than my buddies with their androids and touchwiz or swype if they come from samsung note background. The BlackBerry Classic for me is an absolute JOY to use just be prepared for learning how to do things differently. I love the hub but wish it incorporated facebook and whatsapp. This is my back up phone. My main phone is the BlackBerry Passport which I got around the same time less than a week ago. I use the classic for round and about town. The passport for longer train or plane journeys. I strongly suggest you look at a few YouTube how to videos for setting up the BlackBerry as it'll prevent frustration.
Review: One Star - May be a good device but thick, heavy and bulky. Unfit for proper business usage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just spent a horrible month with a Samsung Galaxy Note 4
*by G***K on 18 March 2016*

I just spent a horrible month with a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I have returned to Blackberry with the Classic. Two things : the quality of phone calls is magnificent. Remember that ignored function of smartphones known as "phone calls"? You only notice just how excellent the call quality is when you've been on an inferior product. The second thing is battery life. The Classic could have had a glitzy HD screen and a monster processor. By using what is adequate and good enough for a couple of years in technology terms, the Classic does not suck the life out of its battery in half a day. So, if you actually want a mobile telephone that has excellent call quality and a battery that will last, then the Classic should be on your list. The physical keyboard is superb. It was only when I started firing longer and friendlier texts from the Classic that I realised what a horror story the onscreen keyboard on the Note 4 had been. I had been subconsciously minimising all my written communications because each one took so long due to a) the simple awkwardness of the onscreen keyboard,and b) the volume of errors requiring correction each time. For people who have never tried the physical keyboard - do it. (Yes, I tried different onscreen keyboards via Apps,but they were all differing levels of crap). The App Gap. I spent a month on Android and can report the following - 1. You will need to download a bunch of Apps to give the phone the same functionality that it has out of the box on BlackBerry 10, 2. There are a gazillion Apps on Android but many, many of them are garbage, 3. Most Apps on Android require extensive "Permissions" that record a huge amount of your personal activity on your phone (you can choose in detail what to do about these "Permissions" on BlackBerry 10, something which Android is finally getting around to copying but we'll see how well that works), 4. Despite changing all my security/privacy settings to the most restrictive possible, I still had to give away far more of my personal information than I wanted. In all honesty, this App stuff is like the Emperor's New Clothes - who uses all this stuff apart from teenagers? Screen Size. My only gripe. I do a fair bit of web browsing (though very few videos) and the screen is just a little on the small side. There are a few software workarounds which make most web browsing perfectly adequate, but I can't help feeling this would have been a tremendous phone if the screen had been slightly taller. Obviously this would potentially bring in portability and battery issues, but I personally would have preferred it taller. Finally we have BlackBerry's legendary, and deserved, reputation for security and privacy (there's a reason President Obama, Angela Merkel, finance companies etc. are using BlackBerrys today). I can be confident there is little chance of my personal data being sold on, or landing in the hands of undesirables, in a way that I just didn't have on Android. All this begs the question.....what the hell have BlackBerry's pricing, advertising and PR people been doing the last few years? This is a fabulous phone in many ways and should be much more popular than it is. It wasn't helped by overpricing when launched - a BlackBerry trend which has probably been more damaging than anything else the company has or hasn't done - but this device is just so much better than many more popular handsets. To anyone with a a brain and/or a slice of independence - check it out.
