New Rumors Surrounding BlackBerry 10?

[FlashFlare11]

A new article from N4BB:
What’s Coming? New 7″ & 10″ PlayBook, One BlackBerry 10 Phone, Two Curves and More | N4BB - News for BlackBerry - leaks, rumors, videos, faqs, reviews

Some of this we already knew, but the phones are being pushed back to September, at least, that's what the rumor is.

What do you think? It seems to match up with what we knew already.

Yeah, although, I didn't know a May release for BB10 had been planned. I hope, though, that we see a better preview at BlackBerry World this May, if not beforehand.

As for the Curves, I wonder what OS they'll be using. Actually, an interesting thought just occurred to me. What if BB8 and BB9 are being reserved for the emerging markets like Asia and Africa before BB10 arrives there? Just to maintain affordability. Is it possible?

i just find it hard to believe that n4bb is basically saying that 1 handheld will be released during this year and it will be in september. Theres gotta be some new BBOS devices coming or something. mayb a BBOS 7.5 or something? also sad if only one BB10 device is only released this year as well. i myself would like to see the new looks of this 7" playbook...hopefully its specs are upgraded a decent amount cause i might want that one

Hope they come out earlier with a 10" Playbook. If not I will get an iPad....

From Lucas Atkins(N4BB) in the comments

I’m not aware of many other “innovative” things RIM may have up their sleeves besides the TAT Cascades, NFC, and continued support of the Webkit browser (it’s currently ranked the best in all mobile). We will see deep integration with the video chat throughout other native apps (contacts, email, etc) so maybe that will act as a launchpad for other cool features to take advantage of the front facing camera.

I use all leading mobile devices on a pretty regular basis…I’m just addicted to them all. While I haven’t been the most impressed with RIM, I certainly won’t rule out BlackBerry as a competitor…they’re definitely no where dead yet.

At least the guys from N4BB are honest, kudos to them for that. And from some of their other comments, they seem like they're genuinely trying to put out solid info. Basically we're gonna see a 3G+ 7" Playbook in April, a 10" PB in December (with LTE), as well as to expect a new BB10 phone in September. If they can get a phone out by September, i'll be impressed, as I wasn't expecting to see one til at least December.
