In the world of touch, is there still any room for type? BlackBerry's keyboard sporting Classic is one smartphone that certainly thinks so.
PROS
Well built; Superb QWERTY typing experience; Good business multitasker
CONS
Erratic battery performance; R1k overpriced
VERDICT
It may not be entirely perfect, with the less than listed battery life and screen sizing issues, but for a smartphone that aids business applications, the Classic is very good indeed. My only issue is pricing, with a suggested R6 500 required to take one home. For me, this is a little too much, with a price tag around the R5 000 mark feeling far more reasonable.
