BlackBerry X10:
BlackBerry is in the
news these days, and for the right reasons. Manufacturer RIM seems to be
readying yet another smartphone in the N-Series, known by the
production code X10. Running the upcoming BlackBerry 10 (BB10) OS, this
device sports a QWERTY keyboard that stretches from left to right, and a
rather small screen that appears to be not more than 3″ in diagonal
size. This is too small in a world of touch devices with screen sizes
ranging between 4″ and 5″. It is not known whether or not this is a
touchscreen. The keyboard also doesn’t appear to have the characteristic
curved BlackBerry shape.
The rear of the phone has a camera with flash, which appears to be
possibly Xenon-based rather than LED. The back and the battery cover
appear to have a matte finish, which doesn’t look like something on a
premium device. Being an engineering sample, it says on the back that
the evaluation unit belongs to RIM and is not for sale or lease.
BlackBerry X10 Features And Specifications:
Rumors suggest that the smartphone will be called the BlackBerry X10
while the full touch enabled model will be called the BlackBerry Z10.
The smartphone packs in a 4 row QWERTY keyboard below a touch enabled
screen quite similar to Nokia’s offering with the E6. We still haven’t
got a lot of information about the refreshed operating system but have
been promised an interesting take on a modern smartphone OS that is
capable of real multitasking. The back of the smartphone appears to be
smoothened out which is in contrast to the texture seen on RIM’s high
end devices. We’ve played with the developer alpha device previously and
felt that the OS has quite a lot of potential and might just stand a
chance against heavyweights like iOS and Android.
