We have been waiting to see a solid picture or render of the upcoming QWERTY BlackBerry 10. This QWERTY device is the N-Series and has so far eluded cameras beyond some rough renders. BBIN.in scored a RIM render of the device prerelease which looks close to a final product. They also noticed the 0 button has what looks like a shortcut to a voice control feature. What do you think of the design?

It’s missing the familiar BlackBerry keyboard curvature, but other wise, I dig it.

Love it! Looks just like the Bold 9900/9930 keyboard. Without the buttons, there is a lot more screen size. I wonder if that voice control button will work in any app.

I like it! Seems though not enough bezel for using the peek features.

Kinda looks like a photoshop job.

I’m not impressed, but then I wasn’t a big fan of the smashed berry look of the 9900…
It seems less wide, so perhaps the ugly rounded corners look better irl.

Really like the look of the 9900 anything remotely close coming from RIM should be just fine I think.

Nooooo! Now I may have to get a BB10 as soon as they come out. My plan was to pick up a used 9900 from a new BB10 owner for cheap cheap. But a tactile keyboard! I love the tactile keyboard. Dang!

I am just so glad a physical keyboard is part of the BB10 range, and while this keyboard is quite alike to the Porsche P9981, I hope the final design has the more traditional curved keyboard (yes, have tried both, prefer the curved design) ….the leaks are really quite amazing, planned or unplanned, and I for one, am looking forward to my first BB10 device

Although I absolutely love the curved keyboards, I’m still super excited to try the new one. From my past experience using RIM’s keyboards, I have full confidence that they will not dissapoint – especially at this critical time

Sucks. If they don’t launch a full-size touchscreen with a slide-out keyboard, I am gone. I want a QUERTY but why would I want to go back to surfing and viewing a tiny, box-shaped screen? The Torch has its flaws, but I LOVE the interface – it is the best of both worlds. Why it isn’t being used as a model I can’t fathom.

While I’ve never owned a Torch because of the pathetic screen resolution, it’s my dream format, if well executed. A shame RIM will wait another year before releasing a BB10 version.

Oh, have they announced that there will be a BB10 Torch? I will hold our for the slide-out keyboard and full size touchscreen if that is the case.
I am fine with the resolution on the Torch, it is the freezing and the lack of apps that bother me
