will there be a BlackBerry 10K?

[gregerator]

And what would you want to see? The new QNX OS? Top specs? Touch? Standard form factor? Let the desires and speculation begin!

How about Bold/Curve8900 form factor/wieght.

No heating off the backside with heavy use.

Touch screen (ya i know we got the torch, but thats a bulky/heavy slider).

1gHz Snapdragon processor.


Basically everything BB should be now but isnt.

you mean the R020?
who knows?

1gb processor, 4G capable, touch screen and keyboard non slider with a stock 1700mAh battery. Comes out in 3 years. Maybe.

[scalemaster34]

4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
1.5Ghz Dual Core QSD8672 Snapdragon Processor w/ with internal GPU core
1GB of OS Memory
8GB of On Board Application Memory
64GB micro SD Card (included)
LTE/4G capable
1080p video (with HDMI out)
GPS, WiFi-N, Proximity Sensors, Gyro...
8MB Camera with Lens to match any PS camera on the market
On board Solar Panel on the back cover for recharging on the go
As for OS, ONX maybe a step in the right direction, but it will take a while for developers to build up a catalog of applications... so for a "dream" device I'd have to say I'd like to see a BB running an Android OS.


Other than the Solar Panel and the 64 GB SD Card.... you may see this device by the end of the year.... you just won't see a blackberry emblem on it.

This is a perfect phone that should be out right now. If it takes 3 years for RIM to come out with a device like this I will be long long gone!

If you want a touchscreen with an android os why wouldn't u just go buy an X or something like that?

Or if apple says "hmm maybe we could make and all in one location msg app and an iphone to iphone chat "IPM"(iphone messenger) and hey let let our customers make themes too."

That will be the day that every other phone becomes pointless.

You forget one thing, all us boring/non-tech savvy buffoons who like to use our phones as actual phones will always be around. Therefore, unless iPhone comes out with a line of phones that can go to work for me and I can stay home and still get paid, they'll remain pointless to me.

With that logic, my phone is already pointless since I don't use BBM... If they made an iPhone with a solid physical keyboard, push messaging, no signal issues, and released it on more than one carrier, then maybe I would consider iPhone.

1) Bold 9000 form factor w/look of 9700 (LOVE the faux leather backing and microSD chip placement)
2) 1Ghz Snapdragon processor (clocked down for efficiency and option to improve speed)
3) OS6
4) FULL Google integration
5) touchscreen on bottom and top of screen (to select app or drop down menu only)
6) slide across bottom and top (multitouch) to zoom in on screen
7) awesome stereo speakers of the Bold 9000
8) 2,000mah battery
9) 5.0mp camera
10) 16gig memory built in
11) optical trackpad
12) in menu key - ability to turn OFF the touchscreen functionality
13) SuperAMOLED screen with excellent resolution
14) Bold 9700 charging dock pins at base of phone with separate charging base
15) Touchstone capable (if it can be an option)
16) force close of all open apps on one touch (menu option)

This is all I have for now, but it's a good start. I also like how Palm phones can close apps (flip up to close app).

Add to this.

I think that the more interesting question may be when will we start to hear about the 10k, and when will it drop? If devices tend to get rumoured say, three months before release, will RIM continue to ride the 9800 and 9780 as its flagship devices for a while, or will we see an announcement about the 10k quite soon with a pre-holiday release? Or with the Torch and the Tablet will we have to wait awhile - maybe until Q3 next year?

Well, to hijack my own thread, I think we can sfaely assume that the BlackBerry MotherBoard (BlackPad) will be a big Holiday device announcement for RIM, but shuold they team it up with a strong device as well? With the rumor of Hotspot capablity on the Storm Refresh, that combination could make for some sales. What will RIM drop on us for Holiday time?

[phuzzykiller]

To be honest, I think that they had a bit of the right idea with the Torch, but a bigger touch screen, 1.5 Ghz processor (they're coming out very soon), 8 MP camera, Super AMOLED screen, and 16 G on-board memory with expandable mem slot would be a great start for a new phone by them for once. I would have been interested in the Torch if the specs hadn't been so bloody awful. I'd love for them to come out with something that blows my Nexus One out of the water!
