    where are the shift and symbol keys? Not a fan of the straight keyboards, particularly if they are as problematic as the Q10 one - double type problems, and I make way more errors typeing using it. The days I use the Bold 9900 I get zero errors - so its not me

    Also, this looks a little - inconvenient. Im sure the end product will look different mind you. It had better, for sure. This fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

    I think it looks so much better than legacy devices and the first gen bb10 keyboard phones. Those crisp lumia-like corners are great and help to differentiate it from the "same as ever" curved designs of the ridiculed BlackBerry devices.

    Yes it will be wider than the Z30. The Q30 is reputed to be 88 mm wide vs the Z30's 72 mm.

    Well, if you compare the prototype n10 that was released to what the q10 turned out to be, q10 looks were underwhelming.

    That's exactly what I'm thinking. This current device is for developers, the N30.

    If this turns out to be the actual device, then i'd be convinced BlackBerry's design team was high-jacked by the Geico cavemen, and that's the reason we haven't seen them in ads lately, because they were busy carving this pile of dog droppings.

    It's a ugly phone that will be in a niche market with lack luster sales. At least they won't have a warehouse full of dead stock, like the Z10.

    BlackBerry once again is tripping over themselves releasing a poorly designed phone that will be DOA before it even hits the market!

    All these stupid screen sizes are just creating fragmentation and simplicity. Like developers want to keep tweaking crap for all these phones.

    KISS works for Apple..
    What are you talking? It's an even double up of the Q10s screen resolution, like Apple did it in recent years. No fragmentation at all.

    Yes is not a good looking BlackBerry. If they are going to make another device with keyboard they should focus how to improve the current one, Q10. BlackBerry should learn from experience not to experiment with new designs.

    Make Q10 more stylish, unibody device and dont change the size, its good as it is right now.

    Q10
    F??? unibody design. Nobody needs that. The Q10 is great as it is from an exterior design standpoint.

    It's no wider than the z30 and it's shorter.

    The GIF Exchange C001B7B16?
    It's significantly wider than the Z30...

    I think the Windermere/Q30 is a good looking device!-bor-surface2-win_20140603_205839.jpg

    I love coming in here and just hearing people contradict each other and argue about specs,size,looks......ill just sit idle on the sidelines and wait till it comes out. And and as I've said before, if it looks anything like what was shown from OP I definitely will not be getting it. And like the back and forth that I had earlier on this same thread with someone, I don't need "facts", or to "prove anything" to make that decision...it's simple......if I don't like something, I don't get it. regardless of its specs or functionality...it's my decision, it's my taste.

    MAN I hate the look of that device. . . so glad that's not targeted at consumers, but probably not going to help the image at all. Come on Q20!
    I am pretty sure the Windermere will be for consumers.

    Q10
    Yah that's the real tech fan motto. So stop at Q10, or is it 9900. Why not an old Curve .

    Not to long ago some said nobody would type on a touch screen. Then others said nobody would talk with a 5 inch screen against their head.... etc

    So which design do we freeze on commissar?

    HTC TOUCH, Nokia-N97, BlackBerry Torch 9800, Z10

    Yes that three inch screen device really flew off the shelves. The Q10 and 5 need a 3.5 inch screen and a cheaper price. The Q10 needs a reliable keyboard. Styling was not the problem.

    This looks different. Curved edges suit it well. If this is closer to the final product, this thing could be a beast phone. With a whopper battery and good cpu and 3GB RAM... hot damn!

    Yes haul out your passport and hold it in your hand and pretend it is the Q30. The dimensions will be very close. It looks gigantic in the pictures but it really is not.

    The device could be a bit thinner and a bit taller to be more pleasing to the eye is all.

    I read that a passport is is 125 x 88 mm and the Q30 prototype is 120 x 88 mm.

    Exactly the (very modest) paper mock-up I did few months ago, and it fitted perfectly in hand.
