This back cover looks so shabby compared to the one leaked a week ago.

Look at the screen part leaked@ chinese "twitter"-like Weibo. It shows an edge-to-edge bezel, much more slimmer. At the botttom draws a curvy form.

[Toodeurep]

Notice alsowhat I believe to be the notification LED in the upper right when front facing.

[LazyEvul]

Is it just me, or is the leaked screen part curved at the bottom edge? That would suggest a curved keyboard, which seems to go against everything we've heard thus far. Nevermind, missed the text about it. That's strange though. I'm waiting till launch to draw conclusions on the N Series, as we seem to be getting so much conflicting information about it.

[GTiLeo]

nice catch, who really knows about the N series, these are the first leaks we've ever seen and at the same time the dev alpha c was just seeded to developers so we don't know what to believe, kevin knows apparently hes seen the final hardware but he wont tell us

[sf49ers]

most people started behaving as if the sky is falling on seeing the X10 leaks, based on the past experience RIM had shown us time and again how they bring the functional aspect and beauty together. Hold your comments until you see the final hardware..seem like RIM is still experimenting and that's the reason they haven't shown either the prototypes or developer models.

[sf49ers]

can anybody notice they moved front facing camera into the speaker grill (photo on the left)?

[calicocat2010]

^ yep noticed. Also those two back covers...look at the logo placement on both. They are in different spots.

[SlcCorrado]

Dev C. That's my vote

[sf49ers]

The device that got leaked during the weekend is Dev C. That's my vote too

[mithrazor]

X10 evaluation unit.

That's my guess.

[bbinexile]

so is the bottom 'curvy form' hope for a curved keybord?

[anthonybaker]

i have faith in RIM that they know what they are doing. Cant wait till Jan 30th, im going to take the day off work LOL

[Italiannyc]

Being that Jan 30th is when you get more info, I personally would trust the device photo that I see of a fully put together phone, then just a photo of a part of it. I dont think they have time to be messing around with final designs at this point in the game if they want to release it asap

[jakie55]

Remember that we saw all sorts of pics of the L:. Various changes, various looks, all creating quite a buzz....Which is exactly what is required. Same with the N /X series. I love it.

yeah and there is a varient of the device, the dev alpha C which we have not seen liek the full touches A and B devices. to see a part of a phone means nothing as the parts have to be assembles before release not every device will be put together at this point but the hardware will be final

[fbf2012]

This is definitely the DEV Alpha C version. Remember the back of the L series Dev version was plain and slightly boring? Same thing going on with the N-series Dev version. Stop panicking folks.

[anon(1005582)]

Also of note should be that there were variations of the dev A and B, so there could be variations of the dev C

[GTiLeo]

theres only one variation of the dev alpha A and B but there are two vatiations of full touch dev alpha units

[Taigatrommel]

I think nobody can tell for sure right now. Maybe that pictured screen part cover is also just a fake? I only start to believe this leaked device won't be the final design, once we know for sure this in fact is just a Dev Alpha variant.

Anyways, I still really hope RIM is just keeping the Nevada secret till the launch event and will surprise us with a worthy, fresh BB10 QWERTY.

[whitbags]

One thing is for certain. These leaks are pretty damn exciting, the speculation as to what they represent is just delicious, and I know that I will be surprised by what is finally released on Jan 30th.

I can hardly wait.

[Rootbrian]

Dev alpha C. That's all I need to say.
