BlackBerry Passport and Classic out at AT&T on February 20

Today AT&T has surely made some BlackBerry fans happy. The carrier finally decided to unveil its release date for both the BlackBerry Passport and the Classic. It's going to be February 20, so we're just a few days away from these devices' debut at a US carrier.

Elsewhere they've been available for months, but soon you'll have the option to purchase one of them even if you love long-term contracts with carriers.

AT&T first said it would carry the Passport back in September of 2014, so this has been a very long time coming. The Canadian smartphone maker even redesigned that handset just for AT&T, giving it rounded corners at the specific request of the carrier.

The Passport will be offered by AT&T for $199.99 with a classic two-year agreement, or $649.99 without a contract. If you use the company's Next installment scheme, you pay $0 upfront, then followed by either 20 monthly payments of $32.50, or 24 monthly installments of $27.09, or 30 monthly payments of $21.67.

The BlackBerry Classic will cost $49.99 with a new two-year service agreement, or $419.99 with no annual commitment. With Next, once again you pay $0 down, and then you can choose between the same three installment plans. If you opt for the shortest, you'll hand out $21 per month for 20 months. Or there's the option of paying $17.50 per month for 24 months, or $14 each month for 30 months.
