First Image of the upcoming BlackBerry Superphone!
Over at Crackberry.com they've posted an internal slide of what appears to be a rendering of the upcoming BlackBerry os 10 superphone.
I have to admit, I do like the look.
I don't know how the BlackBerry faithful are going to take this though. There doesn't appear to be a physical keyboard, a long standing BlackBerry strength.
I like the design. I think RIM has to start thinking about what the not faithful BlackBerry users. They want touch screens, big phones, just look at how phones are designed in 2011 and 2012.
I think it is a good start for them, but everything lies in the BlackBerry OS 10 so I'm excited to see that.

agreed.
How do you balance the BlackBerry fans that MUST HAVE a keyboard though.
How do you appease them?

I guess we'll see
Well, I don't see any reason they can't slim down to 3 phone models. Make a Bold-line with touchscreen and keyboard; a Torch-line with a touchscreen and slider, and this phone. They really need to get off the Curve bandwagon. And, contrary to what everyone else thinks, quit changing the size/form factor/whatever so often. Focus on software; there is nothing wrong with the hardware, in my opinion.
This confusion can easily be avoided if you pronounce the word intended aloud. If it has a voiced Z sound, then it’s “lose.” If it has a hissy S sound, then it’s “loose.” Here are examples of correct usage: “He tends to lose his keys.” “She lets her dog run loose.”
Loose
not rigidly fastened or securely attached
Lose
to miss from one's possession or from a customary or supposed place
Also, just because a word has an "s" at the end, doesn't mean it needs an apostrophe.

True
But are they going to to that is the question.
They need to fix the web browser so that it loads web pages fast like iphones and androids. That alone will help convert users back to BB or keep them from jumping ship.
Looks kinda like every other touchscreen phone out there. It's okay, but my preference is to have a qwerty keyboard. I'm willing to sacrifice a little screen size for it.

Maybe it will be a pass for me. Anything without a physical QWETY is going to end up as a "fun phone" for me, I can't really type on virtual QWERTYs.
Like my current HTC Inspire 4G or the iPhone 3G before that, I just use those types of devices as a "fun phones".
At least this rumored device looks better than the Torch 9650/9660. For once it doesn't look like a recycled BB.
no matter how great the styling is of a device capable of running BBOS10; its about daily features and functionality along with differentiating themselves amongst the juggernaughts. Without these key core components flash dies pretty fast in the hardware space [The 25th Anniversary Waterwolf looks nothing like the Reventon with hardware styling today, your average fan looks nowhere as great or as efficient as a Dyson fan, heck jeans of 1981 look nothing like today - good lord if acid wash comes back I'll punch somebody!) well you get my drift.
Users consistently purchase BlackBerry's, initially for the styling flash, but what keeps them using it and coming back his the features & functionality that they can daily use - not to mention heavy corporate entrenchment and cheaper data rate plans vs the competition (until recently).
^ I'm MORE interested in how much data BB10 will consume versus current version.
