I have the Blackberry Q10 and I have no troubles with the 3.1" display. It's basicly the top of a Galaxy S3's display and it is easy to use it with one hand; which is somthing I can't say for the 4.7" display on my Nexus 4. The only advantage I can see to the Nexuses display is video playback doe to it having more pixels and a bigger size. It also makes typing much more enjoyable.
Having said that I do wish that the classic could have more power as a 1.5Ghz dual core is far behind the times, evan Blackberrys own passport has a Snapdragon 801 and 3GB of RAM; the classic just can't justify itself against the q10 which go for as little as 1/3 of the price on ebay.

I do not know anyone who has bought or planning to buy a TAG Heuer watch, Rolex's are more in but I think people would buy an Apple Watch over both of those since they are cheaper.

Speaking of Apple Pay, how about that CurrentC thing that has been going on two months ago? What happened to them?

...only issue I have with this bb classic from what I seen is that its only works with the amazon app store an not google play store? This bothers me since the amazon app store have a very small selections of apps compare to google app store :/

If you have a i watch just don't wave at someone who you know while buying some thing.XD

Apple must have got lucky. In the EU, they would have many courts. Also, the EU is/was thinking about banning proprietary chargers completely. This seems to be directed apple.

...I think "BlackBerry" is going to the right direction accepting the fact that android is very compatible mobile OS in the market outselling the apple iOS by alot!

Here what I see in the market today but I think android gonna sky rocket next next year;
30 iOS
50 Android
15 windows mobile
05 black berry

no need for the obvious bias Cnet, Bridget.  Its beneath you.

how you dare to call Blackberry classic as a past!, annd btw 3.5 inch is perfect for a cell phone, if you need bigger screen go for a tablet.

RIM should know when their beat...Blackberry had its time and cannot compete with Android and iOS. And this new phone is too little, too late-small screen, shot camera, pricey, etc.
