Canadian phone manufacturer BlackBerry is meeting with its enterprise customers in San Francisco on November 13. CEO John Chen, has recently announced during the MIT Enterprise Forum in HongKong that the event signals the official arrival of the BES 12, so it's highly possible that we will also hear from CEO Chen regarding the BlackBerry Classic's exact release date.
In the meantime, with more or less than a month to go, the company is doing a great job by releasing teasers via their blog site to keep the excitement running. One noteworthy post was from Editor for the Inside BlackBerry blogs Donny Halliwell, wherein he gave his own definition of the word "Classic." Furthermore, he collected a number of "classic" depiction from celebrities, partners and fans all over the world and shared it in the official blog site, which we think is so cool. Below are some of the definition given by different personalities as shared by Halliwell:
Tim Allen (Award Winning Actor and Comedian)- USA
"The authentic and the original...the Classic...and now with more power."
Louis Banks (Grammy Award-nominated film composer and jazz musician) - India
"Classic to me echoes that classic jazz note that stands out when listened to in today's day and age of EDM, Rap and Hip hop. That timeless melody that never fades away but only oozes with class and it is forever eternal."
Rina Dhaka (Fashion Designer) - India
"Classic is something that we can run season after season without it looking vintage or futuristic...it's a timeless essential, say a black trouser, black tank or a white shirt - you can never go wrong with that."
Roland Heiler (Managing Director of the Porsche Design Studio) - Germany
"Classic objects start their lives being new and outstanding. Over time, if they don't lose their relevance, they become classics. You can't decide to create a classic, you can only find out later that you did."
Hueing Lim (Customer Service Manager, BlackBerry) - Singapore
"When I think Classic, I visualize people and things which have been judged throughout different stages of eras and prove to be outstanding within its league.
No matter how hard you try, you will never find another Audrey Hepburn nor Grace Kelly. A classic is never meant to be compared or replaced as it is a class of its own."
Shabazz Mohammed (NBA Player, Minnesota Timberwolves) - USA
"Classic means to me original, the blueprint of something that was at its best!!!"
