BlackBerry has announced that the new BlackBerry Classic smartphone will bring Classic Navigation Keys to their BlackBerry 10 platform.
The company also announced that they will be bringing the Brick Breaker game back to the BlackBerry platform on the new BlackBerry Classic, have a look at the video below.
Always one to draw on that nostalgic BlackBerry feeling, the BlackBerry Classic brings Classic Navigation Keys to BlackBerry 10 for the first time. These, along with the trackpad and physical QWERTY keyboard allow you to stay productive, get work done and make the most out of your day. They also allow for something that I personally love to take a little downtime to do – classic gaming.
Classic Navigation Keys and Productivity
The introduction of Classic Navigation Keys is a significant move by BlackBerry, aiming to merge the best of both worlds: the modern capabilities of the BlackBerry 10 platform with the beloved features of older BlackBerry devices. The navigation keys include the familiar menu, back, send, and end buttons, which many users have missed in the touchscreen era. These keys, combined with the trackpad, offer a tactile and efficient way to navigate through the phone’s interface, making it easier to manage emails, texts, and other communications.
The physical QWERTY keyboard is another standout feature. Known for its precision and ease of use, the keyboard allows for faster typing with fewer errors, which is crucial for professionals who rely on their smartphones for constant communication. The tactile feedback of the keys can be more satisfying and reliable than a touchscreen keyboard, especially for those who type extensively throughout the day.
Brick Breaker and Classic Gaming
In addition to productivity features, BlackBerry is tapping into nostalgia by bringing back the Brick Breaker game. This classic game was a staple on older BlackBerry devices and is fondly remembered by many users. The game involves controlling a paddle to bounce a ball and break bricks, a simple yet addictive concept that has stood the test of time.
The return of Brick Breaker is more than just a nod to the past; it represents BlackBerry’s understanding of its user base. Many BlackBerry users have been loyal to the brand for years, and bringing back familiar elements can strengthen that loyalty. The game also provides a fun way to take a break from work, offering a quick and enjoyable distraction.
The BlackBerry Classic smartphone will launch later this month, you can find out more details about the handset over at Blackberry at the link below.
