Blackberry has learned nothing
I finally got the chance to mess around at length with the Classic. First off, its slow. And I mean agonizingly slow and/or hitchy in some cases. The cheapest smartphones from the competition are more responsive than this turtle of a device. Sure, a lot of it might be fixable via updates, but Blackberry has a very poor history in this regard so I expect little to no improvement. Like previous OS 10 devices the UI is tolerable if you're transitioning from another touchscreen ecosystem..and that's a big problem because the Classic was supposed to be targeted at the most hard-core of the BB faithful. Is it easier to use than the Q10? Yes, but only just. A determined user could probably learn to deal with the Android-like inconsistencies...

Non Removable Battery
The fact I cannot remove the battery & swap it with a fully charged one up till recently was a deal breaker for me however, I am seeing & hearing such good feedback on this device that I may just have to overlook this. In the past, I have always had spare batteries for my Blackberrys. Never being caught without a charge! I'm wondering, was this a step backwards "in my mind" for BlackBerry or does this device need to have a "always constant charge" ?

It will support the amazon app store as does the Q10. I currently have the Q10 and since the 10.2 update have the amazon app store on it as well.
Almost all my apps were apks!

It does support Android apps which you can install.
In similar news...
Motorola has announced plans to re-release the Razr flip and Nokia will be bringing back the 3595. 🤣 💩
Funny, I don't remember either of those phones having touch screens, app stores or any of the other smartphone features that have been common on Blackberries for years. The only throwback I see is your outdated trolling.

Those were really great phones!!! I still have a fully functional 3595 and 6010. Though only usable for calls only and the rare text and no data, you can not beat them for durability and reliability. Can not say much on that for modern phones though.
