BBX Device Mockup by Pootermobile

[Pootermobile]

I was messing around with a design for what a BBX device would maybe look like, or what I'd like it to look like. If you guys have any ideas or input feel free to leave a comment and I can maybe add it to the design

[Rob Robertson]

i like it. Simple and elegant.

I'm not coming around to the look of the BB London concept leak. Call me boring but I'd rather have something like this, given the choice.

Its a phone, you hold it differently so too much bezel.
Reduce it and I think you'd be onto something.

Along with the look of the concept my thought of this BBX device would be bezel gestures, hence the larger bezel.

Personally...I'd like to see the 5 function buttons: send/menu/touch pad/back/end.

The image I posted is of course a first draft. I can add those buttons, I would want them on a BBX device too

[Pootermobile]

Added call/menu/back/end button and the ear speaker mesh thing. Looks a bit better

I didn't add a trackpad yet because I like how it looks without it.

[berryjunkie]

Good job man!!!! I like it.…where can I get one?
Any interest in adding the trackpad?

Yes - keep the same look/relationship of current buttons - connects to the legacy devices / keep the identity.

Especially with the trackpad!

edited: TRACKPAD for touchpad - couldn't fix subject line

[DocDRM]

love the slimline/peek-a-boo LED!

Could you make it show all the way across top . . . ?

TOO cheesy would be the KnightRider effect!

[TurboTiger]

Looks like a mini tablet to me.

Good Luck

Ok added the track pad and made a few small tweaks. Made the bezel smaller, I'd like to think that bezel gestures could be done within the screen itself

[berryjunkie]

This looks awesome. I'd absolutely buy this device.

That looks really cool! I think it could be a little narrower but not too much...

Can you design another version that has a full kb?

Then you would have the two phones RIM should be making rather than 10 or 15 or whatever the current number is...

Perfect.
I don't know about the quoted aspect ratio and the one on there. It certainly looks quite wide.
BTW gestures need only a few millimetres of bezel to work.
