I want a phone that wont break or shatter on my first drop

That's right

[FrankUnderwood]

Only a few screen shots and people have already made up their minds that this phone will suck. I can't wait to hear them say BlackBerry will fail because this new phone won't have 1 tiny thing they need.

Wait until the specs are out...more detailed pictures etc before some jump all over it.

The players are going to play, play, play, play, play, play....

The haters are going to hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate....

Shake it off...

Where are the darn pictures? Does nobody have a decent high res shot of this phone?

What, That is the fun of it....The guessing game

Camera and Screen are rumoured to be from Samsung.

I think I've found my upgrade path. I'll be paying close attention to upcoming details. If not I'll be sticking with my Z30 a little longer. I am very happy with it so that doesn't bother me... yet. Hehe.

Looking forward to this one. I knew I was holding off on getting a Z30 for a reason. I'm not a huge spec guy but I'm ready for more info....

My berry keeps getting better...Z10 since Feb 2013

I like the device but I dont like the curved screen gimmick. I also think the curve is going to reduce the strength of the device. It cannot be as robust as Passport

[Daniel Rudolf]

The curve has a distinct advantage because swiping from the side to access the Hub is a key feature of BB10.

[Skeevecr]

Doesn't look good on the capacitive keyboard side of things

Nothing is sure on that point, nothing stopping them doing a 4 row capacitive keyboard, they just won't be doing the virtual number row since the trackpad-looking line would result in too much of a gap.

[MobileZen]

I haven't decided on my next BlackBerry device. I was contemplating the Passport but I might go with the slider as my first BlackBerry phone was the Torch.

Surprisingly, when I talk to people at the company, a lot of people said they really loved the Torch.

People will like this phone, people will hate this phone... fair enough...

...but let me just say, that as far as innovation goes, I don's see any... Maybe my expectations were too high...

curved edges? not innovative
sliding keyboard? not innovative

Unless I'm missing something, it's a good phone, but not innovative...
A bit disappointed, my opinion only...

[lnichols]

If it is a Samsung assisted device, wonder if they will switch to Exynos processors. Qualcomm isn't doing to hot lately.

Not sold on curved screen idea and think it is just a waste. Would rather see a high end pure all touch. Guess Chen hates all touch.

I've been waiting for a Torch successor since day one and had all but given up hope, but here's the thing, I now love working wide. ::TORN::

[guygardner73]

they should have done the Passport full screen with full qwerty K-board slider instead

Yessss, now you're talking.

Curved edges WITH a sliding keyboard? Innovative!

I would like to have a version of that without the slide out keyboard. Just a full touch.

Not sure I like the chin, it only makes device bulkier.

Persepective can be misleadingly. I also tried some measuring. Yes it looks like it has a little "chin" but I think it's not even half the size you sketched. I trust the BB designers and engineers. I don't think they make a phone with a one centimeter long metal/plastic whatever thingy at the bottom.

[kfh227]

When will this slider be released in the wild?

 PassportSQW100-1 / 10.3.1.2480

Dec 2015. Feb 2017 if you are on Verizon.

[lnichols]

2015. So we can expect it late Q1 2016 then. Still nothing for all touch who want the creek with the bulk of PKB mechanisms. Not impressed with the roadmap!

A slider.. well, that's it, game over for me on the next upgrade.

It's a phone'puter. What kind of innovation are you expecting?

Now you can work curvy

PassportSQW100-1/10.3.1.2480 O2 UK

Disagree! the passport touch sensitive keyboard was an innovation,

curve edge with keyboard is not!

[tomsobon]

It's a phone'puter. What kind of innovation are you expecting?

I got excited about that three rows touch sensitive keyboard concept that popped out with a mechanical mechanism! was maybe expecting something like that
that would have been innovative, and would have reduced the overall size of the device when keyboard was out..

this phone is a Hybrid Samsung/BlackBerry that will be probably be 18cm tall when opened...
