Very impressive, I pretty much like ALL of the designs, but my favorite is the one with the tracpad. If these could have been released on the original projected date, I would not be considering the 9930 at all. Maybe RIM will surprise us with a summer release. Remember to .....BeBold in 2012
Great imagination and I like the photoshop skills...
However the 99xx form is much too wide already so I would prefer something along the width of the 9790 with the taller screen...
PG
I would like to see a Slim bold as well approx 120 x 61 x 11.5 mm keyboard of the 9790 on it, but the stylings of the 9900 on the back a bit more with the thinning at the edge, beefier at the battery having the screen a full 10mm higher and having the 9860 resolution would give it an amazing pixel density and be able to run the same apps as the 9860, they could use battery placement to balance it out so it isn't as unbalanced as the Droid Pro+

wow, love the first mock up. I have a feeling they'll make the bezel wider tho, reducing the screen size
since some people are 50/50 with the track pad/lack of track pad, they should have the now vacant swipe from bottom left introduce a virtual track pad... just saying
But the screen size shouldnīt be smaller than 3"!!! Everything else would be too small for BB10 I guess. So I donīt see a trackpad and itīs not needed with BB10 either!

i guess to each his own. i kinda feel the 9900 is just nice for me. guess we'll just have to wait and see. still have more than a year to go i suppose.
I'm sort of neutral on the trackpad though. trackpad definitely makes navigation on a smaller screen size easier. Like when editing a document having a trackpad is definitely easier to use. Even on the playbook i find that selecting a specific point in a text is a little cumbersome. Or maybe RIM will figure a way to do without it. if the full screen BB10 is going to do without the trackpad, having a bold without a trackpad would tie in better with the overall product line design. that, we'll only know next year... maybe...
I want a trackpad on my PlayBook, I couldn't imagine using a Bold device without a trackpad, and I don't want a virtual trackpad, if I wanted Virtual stuff I'd get a touchscreen phone, the candybar needs to be a tactile joy to use

Wait - what about the required 16:9 Aspect Ratio BB 10 phones are suppose to have? These mockups seem like wishful thinking.
RIM said (according to PC Mag) BB 10 phones will have this 16:9 aspect ratio so we're probably going to see some of these:
- 16:9 full touchcreen
- 16:9 full touchscreen with vertical slider keyboard
- 16:9 full touchscreen with a horizontal slider keyboard
- 16:9 full touchcreen with a non-slider keyboard (similar to the Droid Pro)
The good news all PlayBooks apps will be compatible, the bad news is that if RIM does come up with a way to support different aspect ratios then App quality/resolution (like on Android) will begin to suffer or worst - app fragmentation, like the current BB OS.

Alec Saunders eluded to the fact QNX will support dynamic aspect ratio's the FIRST QNX phone will have a 16:9 ratio with the same resolution as the PlayBook (mind you that is thrown out since RIM has scraped the first 2 BBX phones, and pushed another one of them further back so we'll be seeing what should have been second generation devices as first gen devices.

this is how i wish the new phones would look, according to my preference, even though i know prior to doing these RIM is aiming for 16:9.
For me the bold 9900 is the perfect size, so i dont want to go any bigger or smaller than that.
though droid pro doesnt look that bad, its screen is only 3:2. Having a portrait 16:9 screen with physical keyboard, while maintaining the usability of the keyboard and screen is a giant design hurdle that RIM would need to address if they truly wish to implement.
