I got my Classic/Q20. I really like it so far. It's a lot like my Bold 9900 from years ago. Getting used to BBOS again after being on iOS and Android for a while, but I'm sure I'll be back in the swing of it soon enough.

Welcome back!!! We are on the same boat!!!

Looks like older models but the price is still high and not all carriers are supported

For the last 2+ years, I've been using the T-Mobile Exclusive Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G running Android. The phone is now bloated and slow, and it lacks LTE 4G. I want to upgrade to a newer phone with a QWERTY keyboard, but I only have 2 options available: The BB Classic, and an LG Optimus model that's no better than the phone I have now, only it has LTE compatibility.

Give me some compelling reasons to come back to BlackBerry, because that Wall St Journal article isn't telling me anything compelling.

Jack, the Passport is not an option, or just an option you won't consider?

The latter. Although I've been using smartphones longer than anyone I know, going all the way back to the T-Mobile Color Sidekick, I do not intend to ever embrace the "phablet" form factor that the Passport uses. I don't need to carry a device that large with me everywhere I go, or else I'd already have a Galaxy Note device.

I've been reading every review I can find of the BB Classic. I'm glad to see support for Android Apps, but disappointed by the limited selection and the fact that the square screen causes some of them to have issues. I rely on the Waze app, the YouMail voicemail App, the Who Are You? caller-ID App, Target's Cartwheel App, and a few others that I need to have working correctly.

I moved away from my Bold because RIM... oops, sorry, I mean BlackBerry... wasn't keeping up with the Joneses and my phone was just waaaaay too slow at doing ANYTHING. I'd love for BB to start making truly great smartphones that consumers would love again, but even with new leadership, they keep holding back. It's like they're afraid to push the envelope too hard, even though they were a company that used to think waaay outside the box and developed a whole cell phone category that, at one time, the general public didn't even know they wanted. They could achieve true greatness again, if they really set their minds to it.
