Later today, Blackberry will release it's new phone in Singapore, NYC and Frankfurt. Pre-orders are already sold out at the blackberry store . Word is, next wave of stock is January.[EDIT: See links below for availability]
From watching the videos from BlackBerry, their goal with this device is to bring back the old BB vibes by bringing back certain features, like old keyboard shortcuts and the navigation button. Whether people want that or not, I'm not sure, but I like that BB is catering to their old market.
The specs are not impressive. Compared to the Q10, the CPU, GPU and camera are nearly identical and screen size is only slightly bigger on the Classic. The Classic will have a 2515 mAH battery, ~ 15% bigger than the Q10 and will have the latest version of BB OS.
The BB Classic went on pre-order for $449 at the BlackBerry Store. If your on the Z10 or the 9900 () this seems like the phone for you.

BB Classic is available from Bell, Rogers, and Virgin Mobile
