Default [Rumor] New QNX Phone Info

I had a meeting with a RIM rep today who flew in from Waterloo and he gave me some info on the QNX phone that they're working on.

4.2" screen (wasn't sure, it might have been 4.3")
1280x720 HD screen
Dual Core 1.5ghz processor

Will attach to the BES via the Playbook administration service that should be launching at DevCon. So it WILL have native BES functionality.

Said that they're shooting for Q1 2012.

Take it for what it's worth.

dual core 1.5Ghz? Seems pretty far fetched to me. Dual core 1Ghz sounds more reasonable.

I'm assuming that this will be a touch-screen only phone if the screen size is 4.2"

So no physical qwerty keyboard, only a digital one like on the blackberry storm. That is unless they make it a slider like the torch.

RIM already said the first QNX phones will be high end touch screen only devices.

Well in that case I might just be sticking with my 9900 for now. I had both storms and have come to loathe the touchscreen qwerty keyboards. Like the physical ones MUCH better.

Also, I use my blackberry for email and BBM mainly, how good can this new platform really revolutionise those two things?

Hey, don't blame the messenger!

Like I said, I got the info straight from a TAM so I just wanted to relay the info.

Too bad, that they will be full touch. I won't buy it. I was going to hold out, cause the rumor is that QNX phones will support activesync (my company doesn't have a BES, and won't put it in), but if it's all touch, I wouldn't go to it anyway. So now the question is whether I go with the 9930 and just deal with crappy Outlook functionality again.

Surely the full touch on a QNX HAS to be better then the storm. It may just be the size of the screen, but the touch on the Playbook isn't to bad at all. I tried the storm and like i said, it may be the screen size, but the storm was no where near as responsive as my Playbook.

Sounds like a phone that's exactly what most people on this site have been asking for. Except for the full touch screen. But I love it, the phone sounds kick ***. Though the only dilemma I have right now is if it'll be out by March 2012, cause if it is or will be coming soon then I won't upgrade to the new os7 phones. I'd rather hold out for the qnx phones. I'd hate to invest in a os7 phone and 2 months later the qnx phone gets released. But back to the point the processor seems kickass and it sounds as if google and apple will finally get a run for their money.

Is it 4G LTE thats the question? the iPhone4S is still a 3G phone, if RIM shows up next week with a 4G phone, that would put them a head of Apple in the hardware game, for the frist time in a long time. Stocks would jump and people would wake up and take look again.

I wouldn't imagine they would completely get rid of there bread and butter phones with the full qwertys for a all touch screen devices.
