No way; this can't be the X10. There is no way RIM would bank on a phone that looks like this for a "TURN AROUND". I will buy a Nokia 3310 instead if this is going to be the Blackberry X10.

[grahamf]

You're saying that over the back of the phone?

[aha]

Z10 wins from the back.

[The Me]

That's pretty... uhm... not BlackBerry.

I even expect a couple refinements on the Z10. A bit sharper design. The sleep button (on top) would have to look a bit less dug out last minute and more like something on the 9900.

Damn I know RIM can do it!

[Nindia]

Can't wait for this sucker.

Hopefully BB10 is a success...I honestly don't know what other operating system I would go to. Can't wait to see what RIM has in store for late 2013 as well.

[Taigatrommel]

The back looks uninteresting, however still better than the absolute boring back of the Z10 - which ain't difficult to achieve IMO. I don't know why RIM went with such uninspiring designs on the backside. I mean most current or last gen devices made by RIM had better designed backs than both next gen devices.

Oh well, at least the battery remains swappable. When talking about it: the N-Series looks rather thick. That raises hopes for a decent AF cam and for that rumored 2400mAH battery.

If this is really how the X10 looks, I wonder what happened to RIM's design team... Doesn't have RIM's usual premium look to it..

I am completely surprised by the reactions to this picture. First of all, it's just the back which will most likely have a cover over it anways.

More importantly, I actually think it looks like a hybrid of the 9900 and the 9000, two of RIM's best looking/feeling phones ever. No one has mentioned the fact that this looks to almost definitely have the chrome border around the entire hone like the 9900. My favorite looking/feeling phone ever has been the 9930 I currently own, and I have to say that this picture looks better than the back of my 9930. When I hold my phone up to the screen at the same angle as the phone in the picture, it looks very similar. The flash is with the camera in the picture as opposed to the opposite side on the 9930. They both have the chromeline under the camera. Volume buttons in the picture seem to be identical to the 9900 and it looks like it has the same chrome border. I like that the N10 has a single solid piece in the back as opposed to the 9930 with the back cover and the angled rubber border around that.

Anyways, in my opinion, this phone is way to similar to the 9930 for all of you to be complaining the way you are. If you LOVE the 9930 design (as most people do), then you have to at least like this a little bit, right?

I think it looks nice.. Looking forward to it..

Looks good!

[RubberChicken76]

(I think) 9900 looks wayyyy better

Fixed that for ya

It looks a little like the TK VICTORY concept's back !! TK_Victory-1main.jpg010_tk2_backing-BBlogo.jpgTK_Victory-2dimensions.jpg

Hope the N-Series hardware brings back all the features we know and love: awesome keyboard, convenience buttons (x2), and awesome battery life.

Totally agree about the two convenience buttons. BRING THEM BACK!
1) They were unique to BB, differentiating them from the competition.
2) They were ... CONVENIENT!

As far as the picture is concerned, I'm not digging it. It does NOT scream out new!, sexy!, sleek!. It whimpers, same, tired, boring.

I need to see what it looks like from the front

I can't pass any judgement from what we see ....I need a frontal and dimensions to give my full $0.02

[calicocat2010]

I read on here that it was Going to be Exactly like the 9900 but with a straight keyboard, bigger screen, and no buttons.

[ruskin1182]

All I have to say is Blackberry and Lenovo......BEST keyboards in the business!! Only way I can operate.

[soren203]

:S looks cheap! Come on RIM this is the model I wanted :'(

Don't forget that when the first blurry picture of the L-series popped up, a lot of people hated it.

Once higher resolutions pictures pop up we should be better able to see how awesome it looks.

The tk victory is nice, but the tk justice is where its at!

My dream phone right here..

I hear ya and all the others. Looks like the photo was taken in a bar/restaurant setting. Must be a dev alpha "C" out there that is begging to be shown off!

I do like the TK series photos.

[collinc93]

Let s wait and see the final product before making life changing decisions, shall we?

[owadkelly]

Everyone, everyone, want to see the front of the device? Just look @ my avatar!! Hehehehe its the one on the right

[gariac]

I'm trying not to laugh too much at the comments about not buying it based on the back of the phone. First of all, I don't need it any thinner than my 9780, especially if it means reduced operating time or worse yet, cameras that don't autofocus.

What bugs me are the leaked specs that indicate no LTE. The quad band UMTS will be nice if AT$T allows roaming.

Fixed.

There's no way in heck that any of the carriers would be ready to support BB10 and have it come to market without LTE. If there is any spec that can be an absolute gurantee, it's LTE. (In North America anyways)
