AllThingsD really decided to stoke the rumor mill today. They are stating from a “source familiar with the situation” that Sprint will be carrying an All Touch BlackBerry 10 device in the second half of 2013 but it will not be the BlackBerry Z10. They even confirmed that its a “follow on handset to the Z10 rather than just a slightly modified version.” This device is rumored to launch on Sprint “around midyear.” If this is true that means Sprint is going to carry the BlackBerry Q10 along with another yet to be announced BlackBerry 10 device. That may explain why Sprint has decided not to carry the Z10 and we have been hearing BlackBerry execs talk about multiple BlackBerry 10 devices in 2013.
So what are you waiting for? Go rumor mill go! Let us know what you are thinking in the comments.

Verrry interesting. It could be a variation of the Aristo we heard rumors about in October last year (http://www.berryreview.com/2012/10/02/blackberry-10-codename-aristo-specs-leaked-quad-core-2gb-ram-4-65-screen-and-more/).
Quad core, 2800mAh battery are the biggest draws for me. Although the dual core in the Z10 runs things just fine, the battery life still leaves something to be desired. 1000 extra mAh would be very nice. I wonder if the RAM will get bumped up from the 2GB currently in the Z10.

I hope this is true. If no all touch Blackberry is available next March, then Tmo here I come.

If this is true, then bb may have a fighting chance in today’s market.
Also, does that mean all apps on the Z10 will work on that new touch???
