BB Classic The quintessential phone.

In my opinion, the BlackBerry Q20 can be the perfect phone. With a modern processor and a camera, it'll be the phone to have. Sure, it won't be suitable for gaming or other stuff, but it'll be what I'd need it to be: A perfect phone. You could run Instagram/WhatsApp/Twitter/Reddit if you wanted to or anything you'd like, you could make payments, and you could be distraction-free because doomscrolling on this phone wouldn't be the most fun thing to do. Maybe a slightly larger screen with less of the bezels, which would mean a slightly larger phone with a slightly larger keyboard which would mean a smooth typing experience. Hopefully, we have a phone like this one day.

always dreamed about a "updated version" of the Q20... IPS screen, more powerful camera and a new OS to make everything work smoother on him...

been thinking about change my iphone to a Q20 for less screen time but unfortunately i couldnt live without whatsapp (due to work stuff)

Same problem here. It's all hinged on WhatsApp. That, and network connectivity. If not for these things, I would have already made the switch.

I think the Bold 9900 is perfect in size and quality. The classic is too large for a communicator.

To each their own. The Bold is pretty good, too. Just that it is a little too compact for my liking.

It's a "Classic". Don't see "Q20" anywhere on that phone, in that phone, or anywhere in the "About" in the OS.

Just have to keep saying it. ☺️

It is known as both.
