The only thing I don't like about this design are the sharp corners. Using the phone one-handed it would seem that the edge would make it difficult to type that way and just dig into your hand.
I love my Q10 and even don't mind the screen size. The thing that kills me though is the aspect ratio, it just really limits the apps that you can run on the device. Both android port and build for BlackBerry apps. If BlackBerry sticks with this same screen ratio for there next high end Q series phone I won't be getting one. And they the question becomes if I'm not getting a qwerty phone should I stay with BlackBerry?

Could the next crackberry guy who will interview Mr. Chen show him this mock-up as a very good example of a Q30 with a comfortable screen?
4:3 like the iPad, there are many apps optimized for that aspect ratio, so it should not be too hard to implement. Yes, it still means more work for the developers.
You guys realize that a bezel that narrow has never been implemented on a smartphone before, right? It's a dream device, and a realistic mockup, no matter how pretty it is.
