The Canadian mobile technology company has already launched its long-awaited Classic earlier this week with high hopes that the new device will help win back market share and entice those still using older versions of its physical keyboard devices. With its promise to deliver a longer battery life, better specs and of course its improved "throwback" physical keyboard, Blackberry aims to make it this time.

The BlackBerry Classic's design was based from the BlackBerry Bold franchise. Its old-school trademark keyboard with a more modern approach apparently is the Classic's biggest come-on to its existing users and to entice new users as well, CNET reports.

According to Blackberry CEO John Chen, he feels that the consumers will like and enjoy the changes that the company has made for the Classic. Thus, the CEO is confident and excited to invite old users and interested consumers to give the Blackberry Classic a try.

The BlackBerry Classic, which is the successor to the Bold 9900, has already been released. A number of units have been sold directly from a store located in New York.

Just two weeks ago, the Blackberry Classic was open for pre-order in countries like the United States, France, Germany and in the U.K. Apparently, shipments will commence sometime this week.

However, Know Your Mobile reports that there are only a few stocks available on BlackBerry's U.K. site. Same situation is also experienced in Germany and France. It was also reported that the Classic has been sold out in the U.S. at a very fast pace. The company was transparent in saying that it wouldn't be able to restock the Classic until January of next year.

In the United States, Amazon offers the BlackBerry Classic for $449.99 with free shipping. The retailing giant guarantees that they can deliver the handset right before Christmas. The company also gives another option for a One-Day shipping though consumers need to pay a little extra.

Meanwhile, the Blackberry Classic is being sold in the United Kingdom for a VAT inclusive price of 343.33 pounds. As mentioned, there is no absolute guarantee that Motorola will keep up with the stocks which may greatly depend on how well its newest flagship will perform in U.K.'s fierce smartphone market.
