It looks like the BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic are coming to AT&T this week.

BlackBerry Passport was officially released last year, Sept. 24, 2014 during a press event. BlackBerry Limited's CEO John Chen described the device as being aimed towards "power professionals" who are "achievement oriented" as well as "highly productive." During the event, Chen remarked that the goals of the Passport were to "drive productivity" and "break through the sea of rectangular-screen, all-touch devices." Chen also joked about Apple's recent "bendgate" incident during the presentation, remarking that unlike the iPhone 6, "bending [the Passport] needs a little effort."

Telus in Canada and AT&T in the United States were announced as the first two North American carriers to offer the Passport. According to reports from CNet, consumers in the US will finally be able to put BlackBerry's Passport to test when it arrives at AT&T next month.

The Passport and Classic will be available for purchase at AT&T online and retail stores beginning this Friday, Feb. 20. For several months, the Passport had previously been available online at a full price. The move sends a strong message to the rest of the smartphone space that BlackBerry is not going anywhere. Despite many speculations that the release would be a failure, it did not turn out as suspected.

The two smartphones are seen as critical to keeping the embattled BlackBerry in the mobile game. BlackBerry has gradually shifted its focus towards business-class software and services in the wake of its fall from its perch atop the market over the past five years.

CNet notes that BlackBerry will face many challenges in its bid for a comeback. Following the debacle that was last year's launch of the new BlackBerry 10 operating system, consumers have written off the company and the smartphones. Consumers have moved over to an iPhone or Samsung smartphone, putting BlackBerry at a huge disadvantage in the growing trend of businesses letting their employees choose their own devices, with BlackBerry no longer the preferred device.

The AT&T version of the Passport has a noticeable design change requested by the carrier. It boasts a rounded frame instead of the hard shape of the international version. Besides that cosmetic change, the device is quiet the same. Old BlackBerry fans will be attracted toward the Classic that sports a familiar design and shape.
