Blackberry Q20 goes back to basics, will be out in November 2014

Loyal QWERTY keyboard fans, Blackberry has a treat for you: its much-awaited Blackberry Q20, also known as Blackberry Classic, will be launched this November.  Despite the fact that the launch month coincides with the release of the iPhone 6, Blackberry remains unfazed and is facing the competition head on.

Blackberry Q20 will come out together with Blackberry's new server software, the BES12.

Running on the Blackberry 10 operating system, BlackBerry Q20 will be equipped with a 3.5-inch touchscreen interface for better web-browsing and multimedia capabilities. All messages will be centralized in the Blackberry Hub feature for easy access.

Giving the phone an old school feel, Blackberry's signature 'Menu', 'Back', 'Send' and 'End' buttons and track pad will be incorporated into the design so users can navigate menus with precision and smoothly switch from one mobile app to another.  The phone will also have the brand's patented QWERTY keyboard, now made even better with sculpted keys for effortless typing. Plus, the Blackberry Q20 will have the longest battery life among all Blackberry products in the market today.

While it continues to cater to fiercely loyal QWERTY users, Blackberry will still be looking into the possibility of developing touch-screen smartphones to expand their market.
