New Blackberry coming - but only for GSM carrier [telecom]

Surprise! If you're one of the few people left who wants a physical keyboard on your smartphone, you can now preorder a BlackBerry Classic. The Waterloo, Ontario, mobile firm began taking preorders on Friday for the mobile handset, which is based on older BlackBerry designs but includes an updated software suite.

The Classic is priced at $449 and is expected to ship in mid-December. But the model available only supports GSM carriers, leaving out Verizon, Sprint and U.S. Cellular customers. Details about the BlackBerry Classic's specs have yet to be disclosed, though its preorder information mentions a square touch screen and support for BlackBerry and Android apps downloaded through the Amazon Appstore. The company plans to officially launch the Classic on Dec. 17 in New York, according to The Next Web.
