Venice (Slider) is BlackBerry's high-end all touch!
The reason being the - leaked - model number.
If you look at all the model numbers (code) for all the full touch phones,
Z10- STL100
Z30- STA100
Z3 - STJ100
Leap - STR100
And the qwerty phones
Q10 - SQN100
Q5 - SQR100
Passport - SQW100
Classic - SQC100
So the pattern for the model numbers are ( I think)
'S'martphone - 'T'ouch - codename
'S'martphone - 'Q'werty - codename
(ex. Z10- 'S'martphone - 'T'ouch - 'L'ondon)
And the leaked Model number (code) for the Venice was
STV100
So it means 'S'martphone - 'T'ouch - 'V'enice
And that means BlackBerry considers the Venice as a full touch device than a Qwerty one.
So for anyone who was hoping for a high end Full Touch only smartphone (no hardware keyboard at all) after the Venice... Might have to wait longer
(hopefully I made sense... English isn't my first language)
Quit hating, Start appreciating! Android is good and BlackBerry10 is good! 그만 싸웁시다
