When you think of terminals at Research In Motion, we imagine a mobile almost automatically embedding a physical keyboard, the true signature of the brand. But we learned last week that future smartphones out in its BlackBerry OS version 10 would create a break with what the Canadian had been doing, namely that the physical keyboard disappear to go all-touch. What would not a first in the world of BlackBerry when you consider the BlackBerry Storm, Curve Torch 9860 or another 9380, unsuccessful attempts to stick to what is done today. Now users are turning to BlackBerry ever for their physical keyboard, or is this what caused the loss of the manufacturer?
A question that also arise RIM. If you remember the BlackBerry London we told you about in November and February, while a touch that would revolutionize the terminal of the Canadiens, it seems that he has changed his tune. Still valid, it would then be part of that first wave of BlackBerry devices coming in 10. First wave, which would also perhaps a name because according to a leaked slide on the side of our colleague PhoneArena, he should return to the L-Series range. Who says the first wave, said she will also not the only. RIM did announce that a second wave of devices arrive on the market thereafter. According to the same slide, it would be the N-series range, which would give it back to its roots, and therefore the physical keyboard. News that should reassure fans of the brand. Not without new however, they propose a new ratio for a screen which would then increase to a square shape, and which we conceive for the last touch as Bold.
As always, some are fun to imagine what might look like the next terminal and never fails to share with us the fruits of their labor. This is what John Anastasiadis by proposing a concept emerged at this time our fellow CrackBerry. It closely resembles the existing terminals, with the square screen, which could potentially have a resolution of 720 x 720 pixels - count on the 1280 x 768 for the very tactile. Anyway, we should be set fairly quickly since the first wave of phones could be sold next September, while the second would arrive early as 2013. Therefore expect an official announcement, which should not take too long.
