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..

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.
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.
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.

I strongly agree! That supposed "Porsche" Blackberry looks nastier than Mexican tap water thats been filtered through an Ethiopians A-hole! No thanks!
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.
