I'll have to see more than a pretty picture before I determine whether I want to purchase a device or not. It does look eerily similar to a Droid X which I think it might get some criticism for, but I really don't see anything wrong with it from a design viewpoint.
What I'm curious to know is how the PlayBook OS has been modified for the slightly smaller screen.

| The PlayBook OS UI easily scales to the smaller size, what doesn't scale as well is the awful media player UI, but the majority of the Native PlayBook apps / features would scale down to half size very nicely if gestures remain

i'm holding out for a 9900-looking phone with BB10 OS.
i'd buy a 9900 today if i could update it to BB10 when it's available.
the london looks like a mini-playbook that makes calls.
i already have a full-sized playbook, so don't need this....
..unless it knocks my socks off, ofcourse.

Keyboards are "Blackberry" they would need a check up from the neck up if they ditched their best asset !
You had me going there for a second

Ok, I held on to my upgrade for the new QNX phone only to see it get pushed back. At this time, I'd rather not give it up for the 9900, then have the perfect BB10 phone drop and I having to pay full price for it. I figure between now and mid 2012, the other BB10 phones will be shown (or leaked) and I will decide then. Here's hoping my Torch holds up another few months. Like a few others here, I'm a keyboard guy. But if i have to adopt, I'm not totally against it.

i dont understand people who want bigger screens AND a physical keyboard...
The reason i LOVE my iPhone is bc when i dont need a keyboard it is 100% screen when i want it to be 100% screen.
What is the point of having a keyboard when you are watching a video or reading an article?
(i know the people here werent arguing that... but many people do and i just dont understand it)

You had me going there for a second | BB10 is looking like it's going to require a pretty large touchscreen to use and there's just no way to fit a traditional BlackBerry keyboard on there unless it's a slide out.

I just prefer keybords and am looking forward to them.

I'll definitely buy it.
I like on-screen typing on the playbook.
If the London on-screen keyboard is big-enough and innovative I'm sure it'll be great
I love physical keyboards but on-screen typing can also be good. I'm sure RIM will make 3 styles, full screen, slider, and Bold-type  | | |
