Hey All!!

by Kevin Michaluk 9/27/2012 7:49:49 PM
And we are LIVE. Crazy stuff. We're just minutes away from RIM announcing their earnings and new photos of the upcoming BlackBerry 10 phone with keyboard have just leaked out online.

by Kevin Michaluk 9/27/2012 7:50:15 PM
Crazy timing.

by Kevin Michaluk 9/27/2012 7:50:18 PM
leaked on purpose possibly?

by Roscopcoletrain 9/27/2012 7:51:59 PM
then again, are there any non purposely put out leaks?

by Roscopcoletrain 9/27/2012 7:52:27 PM
@Roscopcoletrain I doubt it. RIM HATES Leaks... with a passion. Don't think they'd ever stage a leak.

by Kevin Michaluk 9/27/2012 7:52:29 PM
Who has two thumbs and is excited to hear what's happening with the new phones?

by Lewis 9/27/2012 7:52:35 PM
Plus if they did... lol.. it'd go to CrackBerry :)

by Kevin Michaluk 9/27/2012 7:52:39 PM
Its hot looking!

by Roscopcoletrain 9/27/2012 7:52:54 PM
are you guys gonna be podcasting?

by Matt 9/27/2012 7:52:56 PM
QWERTY phone looks awesome. Though I wonder if there is a large enough touch sensitive bezel at the bottom for BB10 peek.

by Navid B. 9/27/2012 7:52:59 PM
This guy!

by Lewis 9/27/2012 7:53:00 PM
what about 2.1

by moom 9/27/2012 7:53:38 PM
Does the bezel seem a little too small to anyone else??

by keith 9/27/2012 7:53:44 PM
hey

by dan 9/27/2012 7:54:01 PM
And thankfully, My kid hasnt started cursing Kevin ;)

by Roscopcoletrain 9/27/2012 7:54:02 PM
Looks very good. Still leaning towards the full touchscreen though.

by marinovedder 9/27/2012 7:54:04 PM
Keith, it doesn't look like you're going to be able to swipe from it like you do in the PB. Too narrow for that.

by Lewis 9/27/2012 7:54:21 PM
I miss the trackpad, hell I miss the trackball actually =(

by Wazzy 9/27/2012 7:54:31 PM
seems like the leak was also part of a video? when the video will leak? lool

Hi

by forberry 9/27/2012 7:54:53 PM
Props to Kevin for running this Solo!

by Roscopcoletrain 9/27/2012 7:55:24 PM
trolol

by abc 9/27/2012 7:55:35 PM
It kind of looks like a 9900 photo-shop, and the bezels look too small...

by r0v3rT3N 9/27/2012 7:55:41 PM
lewis, the full touch screen model seems to be all about swiping from the bottom though eh?

by keith 9/27/2012 7:55:54 PM
I will be purchasing the qwerty model because I will be receiving a limited edition developer touch model

by Altrax 9/27/2012 7:55:55 PM
the screen is too small on the qwerty

by abc 9/27/2012 7:56:07 PM
Kevin and co have seen the actual device, if it was a shop they wouldn't post it.

by Wazzy 9/27/2012 7:56:12 PM
Doesn't this start @ 5?

by me 9/27/2012 7:56:16 PM
Looking goooooooood!!!!!

by belfastdispatcher 9/27/2012 7:56:29 PM
@keith from what we've seen so far. Seems strange to have the qwerty behave differently no?

by Lewis 9/27/2012 7:56:51 PM
God I have the keyboard will feel good in hand, it looks weird and small compared to the actual device as a whole, I dont want a squished keyboard

by Wazzy 9/27/2012 7:57:08 PM
hope*

by Wazzy 9/27/2012 7:57:23 PM
Lewis, yeah thats what i was thinking too, strange..

by keith 9/27/2012 7:57:31 PM
@Wazzy they could still post it, just to get our minds going

by r0v3rT3N 9/27/2012 7:57:37 PM
What I wanna know is does it still have keyboard shortcuts?

by belfastdispatcher 9/27/2012 7:57:42 PM
Looks the same height, but wider. No curve to it. Same as the Porche device

by Roscopcoletrain 9/27/2012 7:58:07 PM
that's sad r0v3rt3n, if they did that, I'd quit reading Crackberry

by Wazzy 9/27/2012 7:58:12 PM
any word on 2.1 at all??

by keith 9/27/2012 7:58:18 PM
Need to give out a developer phone with a keyboad.

by Formula 9/27/2012 7:58:23 PM
@Wazzy They WERE under NDA, they couldn't comment on what is what

by r0v3rT3N 9/27/2012 7:59:04 PM
The QWerty looks very business person like. looks very proper and professional.

by Beavertail2 9/27/2012 7:59:17 PM
@r0v3rT3N i'm pretty sure Bl@ze has commented on photoshops in the past I really don't think they would post a fake

by Altrax 9/27/2012 7:59:39 PM
They don't need to comment, it's a credibility thing, they know what the device looks like, why post a leak that is not theirs if they know its fake?

by Wazzy 9/27/2012 7:59:48 PM
Alright, you guys do have good points, however, I was just saying my opinion
