My roomate that works in the production facility in Waterloo says they are building an R series phone now as well as N series and the z10. I showed her a picture of the white phone that was in the pic with the Z and Q with the curve style buttons and she said that wasn't it...so then I showed her a pic of Dev alpha C and she said it look like that without the dev alpha c written on the bottom

i honestly thought the phones were built in mexico?
There was a thread "Where was your Z10 Made". Every single answer I read said Mexico.

Lots of them are they use that plant for startup and r and D...I think most are made in Hungary and Mexico

They have two plants in Canada as far as I know the Waterloo plant on Philip St and Cambridge plant just off the 401

so prototype devices?
could be the dev alpha C without the branding though?
Why would they not put the branding on it and she said it's the R series not the N series

There's a second touch screen in the works.
Interesting stuff...i expect to see the mid tier devices unveild at BB World
hmm hopefully it's the budget line :)
aka Curve replacements
Waterloo facility is NPI (new product introduction) so new devices are developed here and in smaller quantities made for sale but bulk of production happens in various locations around the world that supply local markets: Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hungary, there might be more. Clearly most of these are contractor manufacturers.

I wonder if the Room is the Aristo? Is it a touch screen phone?
Is it just me, or the Dev alpha c looks SO MUCH better than the q10?
It is just you.
Sopeone who works for bbry told me they are working on a mid range device.
399$ it's meant to come out on september.
This because september is always a bad month for bbry (the worker told me).
They want to change that....
It would just have les pixels , lower camera and ofcourse a cheaper build...
Many people agree with me, as many agree with you.
No the R series is the budget line. The Aristo is the A series.

Prototype devices are made there and some get released, but many never see the light of day.
Having played with a prototype device directly from the former COO, I can tell you some of them are quite slick, and targeted to different markets.
Can you give us any more details?
I can't unfortunately. But BlackBerry is toying with several designs.

I would be interested in seeing any "leaked" or supposed pics of possible upcoming devices. I saw one of an Alpha device I think and it was not good looking. Add to this that their last product roadmap is outdated. Does anybody have anything on the supposed devices?
