There have plenty of leaked photos and videos available for the
touchscreen BlackBerry 10 smartphone and now the QWERTY BlackBerry 10
smartphone has surfaced online. Two blurry photos of what appears to be
the N-Series BlackBerry 10 smartphone have been posted on the Chines
website
cnbeta.com.
From the
leaked images it appears that the QWERTY BlackBerry 10 smartphone will
have curved corners and will not be radically different from the current
range of QWERTY handsets being offered by the Canadian handset maker.
The
major difference seems to be that the company has done away with
navigation and menu buttons, which means that there is a possibility
that there will be no trackpad on the N-Series BlackBerry 10
smartphones. Also, it appears that these devices will have a slightly
larger screen than what is currently being offered to BlackBerry users.
Just a few days back, the grapevine was abuzz with the fact that this N-Series smartphone might be called BlackBerry X10.
Research
In Motion (RIM) has already announced that they will be launching their
new BlackBerry 10 operating system and touchscreen device running on
this platform on January 30, 2013. According to various leaks it seems,
RIM plans to ditch 4 digit names (like BlackBerry Curve 9300) and call
the forthcoming full-touch BlackBerry 10 smartphone the 'BlackBerry
Z10'.
We've also seen the BlackBerry 10 OS being demoed across
various official and unofficial videos. The BlackBerry 10 operating
system has been designed afresh from the ground-up, with an interface
optimised for touch-screen devices. At the heart of BlackBerry 10 is the
BlackBerry Hub, which is the focal point of the new operating system.
BlackBerry Hub is the one-stop place to access all your messages - from
social networking to work and personal emails, from BBM to
text-messaging and voice calls. BlackBerry 10 comes with a new
soft-keyboard that learns user habits and gets better at predicting
input over time.
