Concept time once again and this one is a reworked version from regular forum poster DYLANHABKIRK who initially brought us a concept of the BlackBerry Classic/Q20 a short while back. But in true CrackBerry style he took onboard the comments that were left in the post and tweaked the design - good on him!
So what's new with this concept:
I moved the Volume, and Power / Sleep / Wake Button to the side. This allows the user ease of access considering the device gained some height with it's 3.5" 1:1 screen.
Obviously I cannot please everyone, but my intentions are to bring a new, yet Classic, Original design to the table. With more square corners, a leather back, and an easier to use lowered keyboard.
This one's looking pretty darn sweet if you ask me. Whether we'll see a return of the leather back to the BlackBerry Classic remains to be seen. I'm not sure I would want it but it is a 'classic' BlackBerry feature going back to some of the older legacy devices.
Once again, feel free to jump into the forum thread and sound off with your thoughts. And if you like the wallpaper seen above you can grab that there too.

CrackBerry Asks: Could the BlackBerry Q20 tempt you back to a hardware keyboard?
With us know knowing that the next BlackBerry 10 hardware keyboard flagship device (the Q20/BlackBerry Classic) will see the return of the trackpad and function keys I was intrigued to discover if the news could indeed bring 'all touch' BlackBerry users back to their roots and switching over to a hardware keyboard. From my perspective it's a hard one to call. One the one hand I...
CrackBerry Asks: Are you happy the trackpad is making a return with the BlackBerry Q20?
Although we don't have images of the forthcoming BlackBerry Q20 (or Classic), BlackBerry CEO John Chen has confirmed that the next flagship hardware keyboard device will see the return of the famous trackpad and function keys. As a hardcore Q10 user myself it's certainly going to feel a bit odd almost going back, but with a bigger screen on the Q20 (3.5 inch) the ability to navigate...
CrackBerry Asks: Do you prefer the name BlackBerry Q20 or BlackBerry Classic?
Hot off the heels of John Chen announcing the BlackBerry Q20 at MWC he made it very clear that he prefers to call the Q20 the BlackBerry Classic and wants users to do so as well. I've now got use to the Z and Q line of names, but with the Q20 bringing back the trackpad and hardware buttons the name Classic does seem quite apt. Which name will you be favoring? Do you prefer the name...
