BlackBerry Classic vs. Passport vs. Bold 9900 in photos

This past week, we got a chance to compare BlackBerry’s two newest devices, the Passport and the Classic, to their aging stalwart, the Bold 9900.

The Classic also does away with the curvature on the keyboard, something we’d also forgotten in the run-up to the Classic’s launch. While not considerably wider, the Classic has a more spacious keyboard that doesn’t need to curve up in a “smile” thanks to its larger, wider 3.5-inch screen.

The Classic also manages to stay marginally thinner than the Bold 9900 despite its much larger battery.
