Whatever it is, it's pretty ugly.

I think you have a point here, looks like 99% of every other smartphone out there. Unless of course you want a phone that looks like a frisbee...

How about shaped like a diamond (not rhombus) .

[BriniaSona]

I want a watch, that projects a hologram that only i can see, that is controlled via my mind. Yeah, exactly like that....

Otherwise I want the Dev Alpha B case for my Zed10

[AzN_KnIGHT]

just saw this new "mysterious" device tonight at a work training. The rep referred to it as the dev alpha b, so it must be just different casing.

[AzN_KnIGHT]

actually here is a pic I took of my A unit paired with 3 B units.

Interesting

Notice there is a hard line that extends across the whole phone horizonally on the upper screen border on this mystery one. on the dev alpha b the glossy inner bezel of the case curves down and does not go to the edge of the phone on the horizontal axis.

And because the mystery device appears to have a "flush" casing I would guess that it is a modified dev alpha B casing made for training so this problem does not occur:

Then why does the About screen say "BlackBerry Z10"? Unless the Dev Alpha B is also being called the Z10...
The molding on the phone is not the same as the Dev B, though the phone internals very likely could be the same as the Dev B... the RIM folks I talked to only said the Z10's I played with were not the final consumer model. But they were still calling those "evaluation" units Z10s...

The Dev B, on the latest builds, DOES say Model BlackBerry Z10, Model Number STL100-1

[Sith_Apprentice]

What is the STL100-3 then?

Dev A (Pro100-1 I believe), Dev B (STL100-1), {Lisbon, London, Laguna} (STL100-2..4). And then there is the LE (which will probably be just a different housing).

Odd, your second Dev B has the PINs on the screen, the others do not.

[jbiggdaddy]

Whatever it is it looks considerably larger than 4.2". I just get the impression the Z10 is larger than what their projecting.

Z10 exactly the same screen size/resolution as the Dev devices. That was the point in seeding those out to developers.

See it in the video with Mr Giant Hands and you'll think the exact opposite

its the Aristo 'beta', this phone is massive and more polished that Dev Alpha B.

[morpho4444]

Why is this not on the front page? God! I don't know why sometimes Kevin posts garbage and not the good stuff.. Thank god he posted that bla1ze lame superbowl video... I wouldnt know what to do without it.

I was thinking that because of the 2nd and 3rd pic. By looking at the way the phone looks in his hand when he has it turned on the side like that. Definitely looks to be at least 4.65". Matter of fact if you go over to berryreview.com they seem to think so.

lol.. seriously i have to agree with poster above.
u have to watch mr big hand holding a Z10. he made Z10 looks like a 3.5" phone.
maybe the holder has small hands.

If you are still interested in knowing, here is a good quality video that will answer your question ! Have a look at timing 0:19 sec. and compare it with the 4th picture shown. BlackBerry Z10 superphone from Bell Mobility | Bell Canada

[Cozz4ever]

One thing it is Not is the Aristo! Aristo is gonna be a superphone/phablet beast device. Big screen big battery big big big.

Isn't that a 4.8 screen size? So it's on line with the S3. There's still the Note 2 that BB has nothing to challenge with.
