Sometime around March 5, 2015, Chen may be showing off a new BlackBerry device. Awh, yeah!

BlackBerry has dedicated several BB10 models to the PKB market, including their current flagship. If the Visa is the device that's shown off, it shouldn't surprise anyone. The appeal such a device would have would be a function of what it brings to the table, and I think it's a bit early to judge that. But yes, my personal preference would be an all-touch.

I would think that the Z3 should be released before March 2015. But if all of this is about the Z3, I'll be seriously depressed.

Z-30 / STA100-5 / 10.3.0.1418 / T-Mobile USA

I assume a lot of people's 2-year Z10 contracts will be up in February/March (mine included) and will be looking for a hardware upgrade if they haven't already. Personally the Z30 or Z3 (which isn't available in North America anyway) will not constitute an upgrade for me so I am banking on a new all touch phone or slider around Feb/Mar. If it is being shown off for the first time on March 5th it will probably be another 3 or 4 months before it is released, which is an unfortunate timeframe for me if I want the new device. Hopefully the release date is March 3rd.

I broke down and got a Z30 with the current deal for $300. Too many maybes and at $300 I'm not in for too much and could probably sell it easy if it does for not much loss.

The Passport has productivity going for it and that helps it push the boundaries of adoption, but the Visa concept is really nothing but a novelty.

I myself are on a Z10 because I enjoy the full screen.
But honestly everyone who tries a BlackBerry with a physical keyboard loves it.
It is just enjoyable to type on.

Wow. This was some great prediction lol

It's a slider, but maybe, maybe we'll see more...

Maybe those who were chastising the OP should apologize now. Lol
