LETTER TO BLACKBERRY FANS: Pictured is BlackBerry chief executive John Chen during the official launch of the Passport smartphone in Toronto.

Blackberry Ltd chief executive John Chen penned an open letter to current and former Blackberry users in a push to create some buzz for the company's new BlackBerry Classic device, which is set to debut later this year.

The Classic, which bears striking similarities to the company's once wildly popular Bold smartphone, will come with a complete top row of navigation keys and a trackpad. Those are features that many BlackBerry fans missed when the company rolled out its revamped BlackBerry 10 line of devices last year.
