BlackBerry Classic, Black 16GB (Verizon Wireless)

40 keys to success

It takes more than fast thumbs and a stone cold focus to stay on top of your inbox and the day’s priorities. You need navigation keys that do more than ‘go home’, and a physical keyboard that has no rival. Navigate with confidence using the optical track pad, menu and back keys, or answer, start and end phone calls with the dedicated phone keys. Combine your typing finesse with the power of BlackBerry 10 and your capacity for collaboration will have no equal.

Fast and beautiful web browsing

The new BlackBerry 10 web browser is amazingly fast and astoundingly beautiful. Access your favorite online content as it was meant to be seen, faster than ever before and with unlimited browser tabs. Spend less time waiting, and more time doing.

A battery that powers through

The BlackBerry Classic contains a sizeable 2515 mAh* battery and state of the art power optimization software, delivering the best possible battery performance. With up to 22 hours of battery power, you can be confident that your BlackBerry Classic will be ready to deliver results when you need it to.

Your personal assistant

BlackBerry Assistant allows you to manage your email, contacts, calendar and other BlackBerry 10 features through voice and text commands. It helps you to execute tasks quickly such as responding to important emails, scheduling a meeting or getting directions.

BlackBerry Assistant is intelligent enough to respond to you based on your situation. Speak freely to it and it will respond in kind. Type a query and it will respond simply with information on the screen. When you’re connected to Bluetooth in the car, it knows you can’t look at the screen and will interact with you completely eyes and hands free.

Built to last

The BlackBerry Classic is designed for ultimate reliability and durability. It provides for optimal grip and protects from impact when dropped, with a solid stainless-steel frame and the ultra-durable Corning Gorilla Glass display.
