Roadmap is On Point So Far... Naples the Savior?

To refresh your memory, this roadmap leaked sometime ago:

So far, it's been pretty on point and on schedule; regardless of release dates in various markets. What's interesting to me though is the "Naples" device, located in the same row as the London which is supposedly for the all-touch devices. Now, we know with the codenames, the "L-series" of devices were considered to be the all-touch devices and the "N-series" were the physical QWERTY devices. So, given that the London is up top and the Nevada is below, why is it that the "Naples" is located in the top row

I suspect that this is the long awaited, BB10 slider. A device that will have a screen as big or close to the Z10 but will have the physical QWERTY that BlackBerry users love. That is my theory, of course.... remains to be seen. What do you all think?

Yes, there is Nashville but I'm assuming that device will be the lower-end BB10 QWERTY device for the budget minded customer and emerging markets. That could be that device that was caught in a leak photo a few weeks ago that myself and a few others said that it looks like the HTC Status...

Z10 is the savior for BlackBerry the company...
A BB10 Slider just might be the savior for the users!

I'm glad you posted this road map again, thanks. What I'm excited about is "BB10 update for Playbook" is at the end of Q1 (late march-early april) I would love it if they kept to this schedule, but since we havn't seen anything on the PB, I don't think this particular milestone will be delivered.

Heck I'm excited for everything on that roadmap haha

After next week, I'll be waiting for the BB10 update in March/April for my PB and I'll be happy for a while

at least until October/November when the 10" PlayBook (Blackforest) is released

Haven't we learned our lesson about rumors and assumptions yet?

Welcome to the New & Rumors section.

Well, "Milan" was cancelled, so Naples could be a successor program...N is successive to M...

Currently, the "Torch" line includes both full-touch and sliders...
