BlackBerry Killing Its Classic Lineup

Sometimes it can be very tough to let go. For BlackBerry, and more importantly for our customers, the hardest part in letting go is accepting that change makes way for new and better experiences.

BlackBerry Classic

BlackBerry has announced it's going to kill its BlackBerry Classic smartphone lineup. Instead, they will be focusing on other devices.

Three new coming models of BlackBerry powered-android OS are planned to released later this year around.

Here is the statement: 

"To keep innovating and advancing our portfolio, we are updating our smartphone lineup with state of the art devices. As part of this, and after many successful years in the market, we will no longer manufacture BlackBerry Classic. For many years, Classic (and its BBOS predecessors) has been in our portfolio. It has been an incredible workhorse device for customers, exceeding all expectations. But, the Classic has long surpassed the average lifespan for a smartphone in today’s market. We are ready for this change so we can give our customers something better – entrenched in our legacy in security and pedigree in making the most productive smartphones."

However, this company will still support new software updates for BlackBerry 10 devices and they will be releasing BlackBerry 10.3.3 next month.
