Today, BlackBerry and T-Mobile announced a partnership to make the BlackBerry Classic available to T-Mobile’s network and its 57 million customers starting May 13.
The handset will be available to well qualified customers for $0 down with 24 monthly payments of $18.33. The full retail price is $ 439.92.
The BlackBerry Classic features some of those old-school ‘Berry goodies like a fabulous physical QWERTY keyboard, function keys and a trackpad. But it also is pre-loaded with BlackBerry 10.3.1 which means that it comes equipped with the manufacturer’s answer to Siri/Cortana/Google Now called BlackBerry Assistant. BlackBerry Blend allows you to view content from your phone right on your computer screen. And BlackBerry World and the Amazon appstore provide a wide selection of BlackBerry and Android apps, respectively.
The BlackBerry Classic came into being because of the strong demand for the Blackberry Bold 9900/9930, a device that ran the previous generation OS. The Classic has a similar design, but runs the latest and greatest BlackBerry OS build, making it as productive as it is nostalgic.
