BlackBerry fans who have not made the move to the new BlackBerry Passport but still want a new BlackBerry device rejoice! The BlackBerry Classic has arrived in Malaysia exclusively under Celcom with their Celcom FIRST post-paid plans. Retaining many of the same features as the BlackBerry Bold 9900, the BlackBerry Classic has the same QWERTY keyboard with stainless steel frets along with the classic trackpad. The Classic is available from today at all Celcom Blue Cube stores from RM338 (the retail price is RM1588). It will be exclusive to Celcom up until 1 March 2015. The Classic will run BlackBerry Enterprise Solutions (BES12) which allows cross platform control management for all devices including Android, BlackBerry, iOS and Windows Phone devices.

If you don't want to sign up with a FIRST plan, you can also opt for a Celcom Max Up All or Max Up plan. The Max Up All plan offers 250 SMS, 1GB Internet, 1GB WiFi surfing and 250 minutes from as low as RM50. The Max Up plan on the other hand offers 1GB Internet surfing from RM15 and 5GB Internet RM50. Enterprise users still have the option to choose from Celcom FIRST plans. Aside from the BES12 suite, other apps such as the BBM meeting which allows group video calls and sharing and BBM Blend are also included. These solutions are enterprise ready with encryption applied throughout these applications to offer better overall security and peace of mind.
