A guy in a BBM group shared this BB10 Bold picture. Is this true or just another rumor floating around in cyberspace? I don't know where he got it from. The screen looks similar to the L series and look at that sweet keyboard! Sorry I don't have a clearer picture.

Just thought I would share and get some reactions and comments. Fire away!!

That's a pretty sweet looking phone

[netwerx1]

No way...that doesn't look like 720x720 screen to me

[Lendo]

Looks pretty square to me

This has been posted quite a few times here. Regardless, looks good, though I doubt it will have physical talk and end call buttons.

I agree.. I'm tempted by that phone! I just might gift that phone to my dad (he thinks my 9810 is huge).

Pretty sure it was a concept made by a fan, not a legit design.

Though the N-Series will look similar.

[EchoTango]

If that's it, other than 9XXX owners, who would buy this ?

Where's the innovation and the slick packaging consumers now take for granted ? I have a 9900 and I wish it had a slightly larger screen which is why I really liked the Victory concept, posted a few months ago. The keyboard is cool but it seems to me that the designer got halfway along and then reversed himself to go back to the old 9900 form factor.

If this is it, I'm sorely disappointed.

You could always buy a pay-as-you-go flip phone

[James Nieves]

this is photoshop seen this picture awhile back with a different non-BB10 screen

[Bobcat665]

The trapezoidal keyboard design looks legit... save for the physical Send/End keys...

[BBNation]

As Kevin said in his review of bb10, it looks like that white bold with keyboard. much better than this one. Have a look at it.

Were you thinking more like this?

[Lendo]

Or maybe you'd like to go green?

[SurrealCivic]

I like the photo.. And the screen does look pretty square if you include where the action bar is on the screen. I guess we will find out on Tues morn

[Lendo]

I'm still hoping for this.

[Nabooy]

What the ? What just happened to the trackpad...?

[JGuez]

I just put this in photoshop and measured the screen size. I'm getting 166 by 133 which obviously isn't real size or anything like that, but the point is it's not a square which the next Bold is supposed to have a square screen (720 by 720).

And even if I'm off, there's no way I'm off by saying the width is 24% more than the height.

So no, this is not the new Bold.

It would appear to be a poor decision by RIM to waste space that could be better utilized by having that BlackBerry logo. Either a trackpad, a larger keyboard, or more tactile buttons for quick access, would be a more practical, functional option.

The device otherwise looks nice, retaining the design philosophy from previous models.

That said, I would prefer this to be a fan-made, or fake device. It looks sleek, but could be more functional, and the latter is far more important to me.

Please, no more pics of the TK Victory. I have enough trouble with my girlfriend now she discovered I am BBsexual... She will break up next time I'll be tight in my pants just watching something on my phone...

[travaz]

I think I am going to try the full touch. Can always switch

[w_lred]

Wow, that Victory concept is exactly how I imagined my bb10 to look like! I really hope they push for that design!

[BBPandy]

That was a concept phone. Forget who made it, maybe "digitalhomeboy"???....

[Elite1]

I don't recall who made it, but it 100% IS NOT REAL.

There is a photo floating around of a more likely look. I'll try to find it if I have a minute.

Never seen that Victory one. Looks incredible. Too bad that can't be real.

Ditto with the 'Blade' slider concept. Loved that since first time I saw it.

[whitbags]

I'd not seen the Victory concept either - what a beautiful design. Exceptional. As is the Blade slider.

Lets hope the real things are good.

Don't think we'll be seeing too much hardware at BBJam Americas - still months and months away from 2013 Q1 release. It would be a mistake to show it off and then not have the phone available, like Windows 8 and Nokia Lumia 920. Love 'em or hate 'em, Apple know how to do it - reveal their new flagship phone and then let you buy the damn thing a week later.
