US carriers have decided to give BlackBerry another chance and both AT&T and Verizon confirmed they would offer the Classic and Passport at some point.

Although BlackBerry has already launched both the Classic and Passport in lots of other countries, AT&T and Verizon have yet to make them available through their retail channels.

However, at least one of these carriers will be launching the BlackBerry Classic by the end of this month. Verizon is expected to start selling the smartphone beginning February 26.

The information is confirmed by a leaked document published by CrackBerry, which specifically mentions that BlackBerry Classic will launch “in all channels” on February 26.

One piece of information that's not shared in the leaked document is the price, but that will probably be revealed as early as next week assuming the February 26 release date is accurate.

BlackBerry fans can expect AT&T to launch both BlackBerry Classic and its own version of Passport around the same timeframe.

AT&T has already announced it will sell the Passport for $199 on two-year agreements or $649.99 outright but is still mum on the amount customers will have to pay for the BlackBerry Classic. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
