As the build up to the January’s release of BB10, the leaks and info for devices, specs and features will slowly start to build. This week some pictures of the Blackberry 10 London have leaked out.
It looks like a black iPhone with some sort of Motorola style back plate on it.
Whilst it certainly does look like a nice phone the spec isn’t astounding, will it be competition with the top end devices we’ll soon see.
– NFC
– MicroSD
– 1800 mAh removable battery
– camera with LED flash
– 4.2″ display
– 1280×768 resolution screen
– 16GB Internal memory
– Dual core CPU
– 16GB of Internal memory
– 1GB of RAM
A video has also leaked showing the phone is use. It certainly looks familiar is all I’ve got to say. The video isn’t in English so not all of you will understand it. But it does show some features of the new OS.
The OS actually looks pretty decent in the video, I would like to try it out … But even so I would still predict 2013 as the year blackberry dies. I just can’t see how they can enter the touchscreen smartphone arena 3 years too late and pull in people from either Android or iOS when the apps just aren’t there and its not a proven platform. Windows Phone is just about making it but its still an uphill struggle even for Microsoft with billions of dollars in the bank. Blackberry might just be able to stay relevant in the enterprise market if RIM release a new version of blackberry server along with the new device range that somehow changes the game, like they did so many years ago. That is the only area IMO where Android and iOS are behind, and RIM should play to that strength.
