Should there be a BB10 Blackberry "Style"
- Actually, imagine a BB Flip with either a physical keyboard or a different version as a virtual keyboard. A slight increase in dimensions could bring such a critter and make it feasible. If you looked at the UI on a Style, you could see that it was a tweaked touchscreen UI adjusted for non-touch usability. I don't see them doing it at this phase of the ball game, but it is possible.02-19-13 10:26 PMLike 0
- Good idea. I think the OS will lead to lots of variety.

- Well, it is a thread from last year that was resurrected, and some people have different tastes in phones, so it is their choice to converse about it. The original Style was the best of the BBs I owned, and I know a number of folks that wanted to own one, still would if they could. There are definitely threads with far worse subjects...02-19-13 11:11 PMLike 0

- I'll say again I've become such of lover of tablets I need a smaller yet still capable phone. It's not out of the realm of possibility to see different varieties of phones from BB yet again.BergerKing likes this.02-20-13 06:57 AMLike 1

- If Blackberry wants to regain their market share they are going to have to think outside the box. When I look at cell phone store now, the Z10 is lost in a heap of touch screen phones and it is only going to get worse and more competitive. They need some different style phones, even if they only appeal to a niche market.toneytone likes this.02-20-13 10:57 AMLike 1

- I thought the idea was to reduce the number of screen sizes that app developers need to support. How does introducing another smaller screen aid this strategy? Answer: it doesn't.newcollector likes this.02-20-13 12:43 PMLike 1
- If app development is a key to a phone's success, and that has been shown to be true, then unless the Style has a screen like the Q10, the answer would be a resounding no. Even with a screen ratio like the Q10 it should still be a clear No! As many have stated...keep it simple. BlackBerry can't be everything for everyone. Touch and a qwerty look to be the streamlined way to go.02-20-13 01:01 PMLike 0
- Why not make the screen size the same as the q10 then?
Why not have have a slider and a touch with the same screen size or ratio and have a qwerty and clamshell the same size or ratio?02-20-13 01:34 PMLike 0 - sleepngbearRetired Moderator
As for resurrecting old threads, a lot has changed since this one was started to add to the discussion; I think it's an ideal candidate for resurrecting.02-20-13 09:58 PMLike 0 - We can only hope BB10 becomes popular enough that they'll consider such alternative form factors.toneytone likes this.02-21-13 04:36 AMLike 1

Now I know this wasn't the most popular BB ever, but if BB10 is truly all it's cracked out to be, as a 'mobile computing platform' this form factor makes a bit of sense. It's essentially a handheld laptop! I do think a "streamlined" portfolio of 3-4 phones would be best for Blackberry *a la their BBOS7 base line of phones. However a newly designed slider or flip BB would be really powerful I think, any thoughts? I would bring over the track-pad as well and make this form factor very very business oriented... Again like a mini laptop07-12-13 04:57 PMLike 0 - One of the problems BlackBerry had back on the day IMO was making too many phones. They had different versions of the Curve, Bold, Pearl etc and it got quite confusing.
Many people even on this site lamented that very same point.
Make a few phones for different segments of the market place and go with that until market share improves.
If they start making too many phones they'll run into the same problems they did before.
