BlackBerry fans will be able to get their hands on the newly launched BlackBerry devices - Passport and Classic - when it arrives at AT&T on Feb 20.

BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic will be available to purchase at AT&T online and retail stores beginning February 20, the wireless company said in a statement.

Price

The BlackBerry Passport, an AT&T exclusive, will sell for $200 under a two-year contract and with a contract device will cost $650.

BlackBerry Classic will cost $50 with a two-year contract or $420 without a contract.

Both of these devices can also be bought under several AT&T's monthly payment plans.

"No doubt, the Passport takes some getting used to. Once you do, however, it's actually a surprisingly good handset -- the best BlackBerry 10 smartphone so far. It's well-built, comes with clever engineering and software services, has good battery life and features a screen that's easy to read outdoors. But the one-handed experience is also incredibly awkward[..]," concludes Engadget in its review of BlackBerry Passport.

BlackBerry Classic, however, did not manage to impress everyone. The Verge rated it 5.0 out of 10 and concluded that the device has Mediocre Camera, slow performance and lackluster ecosystem.
