My take on the new Blackberry Colt. What do you guys think?
Nice...But I myself want it to be a Qwerty device, even though (I think) that has been ruled out. If it's not qwerty then I'm not getting it. Simple as can be.
I hope that RIM does a little style change with the QNX phones.
The traditional BB style is looking dated.
Time for some changes..

I want a trackpad on it!
Very nice..RIM should call it iBlackberry :) **Oops! i can't say things like that on CB**
QNX would be the perfect time to introduce the candybar slider.
Thats funny because I started from a picture of the Bold 9900 and just expanded. Here is a blog post you might find interesting......
Other designs are possible: Sales of Apple's iPhone should be banned
... change screen to 16:9AR (or even 1.85 to 1 for programming comfort)
Agree this is just the Touch 9850 with new OS and hardware. C'mon RIM use the lamborghini/porsche design on Crackberry news!
Bring this thing into the next century....
Ewww.....no way....that thing is fugly!!!!!!!!
I strongly agree! That supposed "Porsche" Blackberry looks nastier than Mexican tap water thats been filtered through an Ethiopians A-hole! No thanks!
You forgot the optical trackpad.
Really?
How much style change can you make on an all touch device?
All touch screen phones are basically just a glass slab with only minor differences.
LOL, thanks for the article...
I know that it's a Bold 9900, what i was talking about is when i named it iblackberry (It feels almost as a sin to say iblackberry...) it's because on Blackberry you have the Trackpad :) but i should name it optimus-berry. :)
PS; I think that Blackberry is very unique.
I hate an all touch device. Last one I owned, I cursed every time I'd try to type a message and it typed the wrong letters. Even worse was the text prediction sucked on it.
too chubby. needs to be tall and slender... ;)
Maybe SurePress would help set it apart from the crowd. :D
I thought it would be nice to take advantage of one of the best features of the playbook and add gestures. I think it would be impractical to increase the bezel size, so instead I removed two icons and added a gesture area. To emphasis this I added a faded border around this region that would be behind the front glass. This could be a large trackpad and support swipe gestures (A feature I think should be added to the playbook). Good? Bad?
Also had to re-add the left convenience button and forward facing camera :)
I hope they keep the qwerty keyboard, without it it doesn't feel like a blackberry. Should be interesting I'm sure RIM will release multiple phones with the QNX os, kind of what they did for blackberry 7 phones.
You can turn text prediction off. I had to. I use my phone for work sometimes and there's a lot of words in my work dictionary that my BB thought weren't words. I'm also fairly confident I know what my name is and my BB kept trying to tell me my name was something else. Made me want to throw my phone at the wall until I turned that stupid predict your text feature off.
Like a pearl? That'd mean bring back that KB with 2 letters on each key? QW ER TY UI OP ? I hated that KB style. I had it on my 7100i and hated it. If I wanted to double tap, I'd chase zombies with Woody Harrelson.
I hope that there is a sister device that has the qwerty keyboard, mabey to be released a bit later on.
Offensive, much?
Screenshot looks like nothing but OS7 with some UI tweaks. It will send a bad signal to non-BB users that they want to sell to. Top part with notificatiosn and stuff shouldn't be there all the time. Should come down with a gesture like the top bar with battery/reception/etc. on WP7.
Great work! However, sorry bro. .... but to me it looks like a 2007 smartphone, no offence! Thanks for the work though!
I want a device exactly like the 9850 with the following:
4" screen
Metal frame
FFC
Different buttons
As long as we're racking up a wish list, I think RIM would do quite well with this sort of design.
The Aston Martin Phone - Hannah Elliott - Forbes
Plus, Apple can't sue for looking 'familiar' :)
The blackberry have a fantastic device . The Bold with BIS and BES it is fantastic . It is the jewel .It did the difference because was the first .
They need improve 100% in this phone . More speed and applications as voipbuster and skype , work correct . Also prepared for the new and 4G.
Iphone and BB9860 are fashion...but are not a bold . Bold it is a truck for all work.
If RIM wish compete with Iphone ...Ok.
But please RIM don't leave / take off the qwerty or azerty .
Another thing . . RIM need improve their marketing and peolpe network .
More advertising . Picture Fresh and directed young and intelligent . People dynamic . For the executive:)
