Not yet. I'll be sure to update the list as soon as I have some info. It could take a while and could happen in Q4 only, when they move to a new OS version...

On top of STA100-1to5 we now have a -9 and a prototype. One of them could be the Astro X

Added R numbers for Kopi and some Caf�s. We must be getting close to a release for those as well. Probably Q4 or Q1.

After Christmas?

No idea. We haven't seen any pictures yet, so not sure when this will land.

Z30 has gone through certification a while back and now the P9882 and 3 devices from the Caf� series have gone through as well. We might be close (1-2 months) to a launch.

Thanks for the info

OP I am really confused as to what the cafe series is since it has a sprint variant but why would sprint carry a lower end device even though they turned down the Z10. As well I am sure I was hearing about the cafe series being some type of accessory(dummy tablet, dock) for the Aristo.

It's definitely not a dummy device since it has radios and it's classified as a phone in the OS: PLATFORM_CLASS=phone.
Sprint may have turned down the Z10 because it was old hardware from the start. These 2 new series use Snapdragon 400.

Hey oftur, sorry a few question with regards to the models, with regards to the cafe series I assume there is a removable battery? Also do you know if the usb port is a mini b (like the z10) or a mini ab?

Yes, removable battery (from what I can see). No idea about USB ports, only A series seems to have a special USB profile.

Wonder why they chose to include removable batteries in these devices but not in the A series or even the Q5.

Thanks, it seems that all but the A/Z30 will require a dock for usb otg

I think for the q5 it made it cheaper?

But for the a series I think it was to fit a bigger battery while keeping it slightly slimmer than it would have been, maybe it was also a requirement for wireless charging?

I only care about LCd.IPS.

One more Z30 version (STA100-3) and the second Porsche version (STK100-1) now certified

So is it confirmed none of the z30's will have a removable battery?

How long from certification is it usually before public release?

Hasn't been officially confirmed, we'll still have to wait a few weeks for that, but the OS is built that way.

I would say no more than 2 months, but it depends on the country. I'm sure experts will have examples of devices having been certified 6 months before launch...

Rumour: Exynos5 test platform or prototypes model names: Musket and Laphroaig

Looks like Cafe will have 4.5" screen, so I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up to be a Z15

Are you sure about processor in the Cafe? (MSM8930)

[anon(2729369)]

Since it's going through certification, I doubt this will change.

Perhaps BlackBerry got the naming system wrong in the first place (or revised it) and the models are now as follows:
Touch
High End - Z30
Mid End - Z10 (has hdmi unlike Q5, but no Miracast)
Low End - Cafe
Keyboard
High End - Q10 (equivalent build to Z30 with amoled and glass weave?)
Mid End - Q5 (equivalent build to Z10?)
Low End - Kopi (somehow even cheaper than Q5?)

I know there a inconsistencies (resulting from changes during rollout), but this may be the 6 models spoken of.

To generalize the "levels'" feautres:
High End - AMOLED, expensive build; Glass Weave, Bold Style Keyboard
Mid End - LCD, decent Build
Low End - LCD, cheapest build
