              am using the blackberry classic for 5 month, its very good, i advise, major apps are available on blackberry world, for other apps you can use amazon store, its not that fast compared to iphone, but its stable, doesnt hang compared to BB OS 7
              so if you are not a gamer, you should buy this device, why to pay more for iphone or samsung?

                Blackberry world is suffering from lack of essential apps...

                If we install android apps, then it will lag too much. Because android apps are designed for android phones. Android apps are not developed for blackberry 10 phones..

                Some android apps won't work without google play services app.

                Missing essential apps like: ola cabs, axis bank, uber, shareit!, Viber, GOOGLE MAPS, HDFC bank, Tata sky etc..

                  I bought the Classic (via Amazon) when it first launched, but returned it. At the time, I didn't feel like I was getting enough out of it to justify its hefty (for me) price tag. Now, here I am, many months later - and I rebought the phone. This time, VERY slightly used, from Amazon for $260. I'm keeping it and I'm beyond happy. Why?

                  Because I use my phone, first and foremost, as a PHONE and a communication device. There is simply no other phone that handles calls, messages, and emails quite like this one. The Passport is too big/oddly shaped for me (I'm a woman with average-sized hands), so the Classic was my choice. I do basic social networking. I do not need a bunch of apps on my phone I'll never use - and if I want to watch movies, I have a TV and a computer. The camera is serviceable. I have installed a functioning Google Play Store on the Classic using instructions found online at Blackberry's most popular fan site. Honestly, with the Play Store added, I am not missing any apps I'd really like, except for a standalone FB Messenger. That being said, FB messenger is already integrated well into the Hub. The only thing missing is the ability to use stickers.

                  The build quality on this phone is nothing short of amazing. Once you acclimate yourself to its gestures, BB10 is a superb OS for navigating around. If you want a phone to play games, stream music/watch movies, this is NOT the phone for you. If, OTOH, you juggle several email addresses, social networking, texts, etc. and want a very efficient way to manage them, give the BlackBerry Classic a try.

                      The Classic brings perfect design, but the cpu is far too slow.
                      Terrible experience when making a search.

                      Dual core was a dumb choice. No excuse.

It can feel "clunky" which I can say the same for the iPhone safari browser, it is not smooth feeling like the Android GS6 browser. That being said, the Blackberry browser is incredibly powerful and can handle everything. With me I use MANY browser tabs at a time. I find that Safari and Chrome cant handle as many tabs and either crash or refresh the browser and the tabs. I find that the Blackberry browser handles multiple tabs fairly well! Another cool thing, something somewhat basic, but yet not an option for many, is YouTube on the browser. You can load youtube, play video on the browser, say you are working out, you load a music video and you just want to hear the song, you lock your phone, video continues to play on youtube in the background, no extra apps needed, plus downloading videos is just as simple as it is on Chrome on Android

                              I heard about this phone, but I heard about one thing that I am much concerned of: browser which is so slow....would any of you tell me about this? Would you recommend it to someone who wants to check news constantly?

                                AnonD-457063, 20 Oct 2015is there any lag when using it?Surprisingly no. I compare it to the Samsung Galaxy S6 and iPhone 5s on iOS 8.4 (which runs smoother than the Phone 6), It truly is multi tasking at its best. I do notice a small delay when swiping screens. Like if I swipe rightthere is like a nano-second of delay. GS6 and iPhone much faster of course but BB rocks, no lags no freeze either and even the browser can handle everything

                                        BlackBerry Classic is amazing..Size, appearance, hardware and OS perfect. Keeps you going IF you are a business person. Simply a SMART phone for SMART people... If you're not SMART enough, go for Droid.

                                        I'll stick with this. No issues if you know how to use it. PERIOD!
