BlackBerry Classic Pre-order Inventory Already Sold Out In North America
If you head over to the BlackBerry Classic's product page, it still shows the pre-order button, but clicking it in hopes of scoring one in time for Christmas is a surefire way of being disappointed. There just aren't any more BlackBerry Classic devices to sell at the moment.
"We're sorry but BlackBerry Classic (pre-order) is currently out of stock and cannot be added to your card. We apologize for your any inconvenience," BlackBerry says.
Those of you who managed to get your pre-order placed before BlackBerry ran out of stock should see the handset soon -- BlackBerry says shipping is expected to start in mid-December, which is exactly where we are on the calendar.
After losing ground to Android and iOS in the mobile space, and more recently, falling behind Windows Phone, BlackBerry decided to go back to its roots by offering the Classic, a throwback to what made BlackBerry a popular option to begin with. It's a mixing of old school design with new school features, as the company attempts to offer the best of both worlds.
