What is this "Tool Belt" thing? I suppose it's nothing new since it is termed as "returning of " in other threads?
Can anyone tell.me please?

Refers to the 'belt' of physical buttons common to legacy BlackBerry devices. Call, BB Menu, trackpad, Back, and End buttons.

I understand it to mean either a screen version of physical buttons or the physical buttons and trackpad that were there on legacy devices. We'll see when actual pics are leaked....

Press release already said it would be the physical function buttons as well as trackpad.

True. But plans have a way of changing and I don't rule out the possibility of having screen buttons as a belt also. Stranger things have been known to happen. Such as the return of the "belt."

If it was not going to be physical buttons, they would just develop an app or include it in a software update.

I'm not saying that it's not going to be physical buttons. I'm saying that I would not rule out a screen belt for all touch devices. Surprises are that, surprising, and if there is something I don't rule out are possibilities for surprises.

Misunderstood your post, thanks for clarifying.

It would certainly give a consistency between devices if on all touch or kb and no track pad devices it was possible to bring up a virtual belt.
Even consider the change to the call screen with the left right swipe moving to this layout from the previous up down makes more sense when you think some BlackBerry 10 devices will have a belt with trackpad call and hang buttons similarly arranged.
