Mystery BlackBerry 10 device hits the FCC with AT&T-capable LTE
So naysayers, still thinking BB10 is vaporware?
There are still people who believe BB10 is vaporware? Have they been living under a rock?
Yep, the same rock they'll be crawling under after Jan 30.Quote:

At this stage of the game, and the need to make millions of devices, I really don't think that they are going to be making changes as they are probably already in production to build inventory in order to ship. The logistics of making design changes now makes no sense and would be nearly impossible to put into action.Quote:

I hope to god that those leaked pics of the qwerty are NOT final hardware, or at least the back door...
The device certified would most likely be the one ready to roll out, so don't get your skivvies in a wad. Sometimes the hardware doesn't photograph as good as it looks in person. I felt that way about the Style and the all-touch Torch, and both were nice in real life. In still life, not even all people look as good as what they do in person, and sometimes vice-versa.
This means that hardware which has been finalised for some time has completed its certification, there will be zero hardware changes happening.Quote:

We'll have to wait till launch to find out, as the situation with the N-Series is very murky at the moment.Quote:

Seriously, I'll bet on EVERY article I've read....3-4 out of 10 people make this comment....not very scientific, I know, but still....even if it were ONE out of 10, that will easily be the third place OS BB has said it would be happy with
It's not.Quote:

I have been saying stuff like this the whole time! ;)Quote:

There seems to be mention of HSPA+ (3G+) in the Device Description (1.3) of the RF Exposure Report.Quote:

Does it cover the AWS 3G bands like the rumoured specs do? Specifically the 1700/2100 bands.
thanks again
I hope the keyboard version is better looking then that pictures posted. I love my 9930 and I have a while to swap my phone so maybe by then all the versions will be out and running by the time my contract will be up. MAybe they will work a deal to trade in early with no penalty?

Ahhhh Bla1ze, full of such earthy wisdom. I think we should all start calling you "Dad" or "Pops" etc. - tempering our expectations without dashing our hopes.Quote:
