In an effort to turn back the clock and woo some of its old fans back to the platform, BlackBerry began shipping the BlackBerry Classic today. Looking like a BlackBerry Bold, the BlackBerry Classic brings back the best mobile keyboard ever designed, to an era of large touchscreen devices. Will the gamble pay off? Only time will tell.
BlackBerry tells us they sold out of pre-orders of the BlackBerry Classic which is welcome news. The only problem is we don't know how many units were made available. Is the Classic a hot item, or just a novelty at this point? We will have to wait and see.
BlackBerry stock is up today, and has recently been upgraded by BGC analyst Colin Gillis, who thinks it is on its way to $12.50. Again, we will have to wait and see.
There is no doubt, in just over a year new CEO John Chen has had a very positive effect on BlackBerry. New devices, new services, and a whole new approach appears to have stabilized the company.
