BlackBerry 10 L-Series and N-Series are in the works, according to leaked doc

By on June 25, 2012 at 10:21am in Mobile News


RIM has stated several times that the first BlackBerry 10 device will be an all-touchscreen smartphone. This will be followed up by a physical QWERTY keyboard. New details today have leaked online that reveal RIM will make an official BlackBerry 10 device announcement in August, specifically the BlackBerry L-series and then the N-series. An internal doc posted online by N4BB shows the L-series will have a 768×1280 screen resolution, 356 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), and will be 55mm wide. This currently looks like the Alpha device that developers are using, like a mini-PlayBook. As for the N-Series (previously codenamed Nevada), will reportedly come in with lower specs, sporting a 720×720 screen resolution, between 52 – 53mm wide, have 330 PPI, and a physical QWERTY keyboard (similar to the current flagship Bold 9900).

As for release dates, RIM has always stated that BB 10 will launch in “the latter part of 2012,” but 4BB reports that we might see the BlackBerry L-series “as early as the first half of September,” and the BlackBerry N-series sometime during Q1 2013.

  1. If they can get this to Market in large number the first week of September, they might have a chance to pull it out of the fire. If these specs are true, it has the potential to be a really decent device.

  10. As long as the software isn’t as crappy as bb7 RIM may have a chance. Hoping for the best

  11. It’s not the final design, that’s just blacked out the rest

  14. RIM? Kidding. This is great news. Looking to defect from Android (tired of my battery-sucking Nexus and privacy-sucking Google) and hoping that BB10 is awesome and successful.

    • Clever.
      But you’ve got a lot of competition from Kevin down there.
      Just goes to show – you shouldn’t give smartphones to 12 year old boys…

  17. Without the good apps like IM, skype, Tango, Magic jack work independently on wifi (NOT on data), forget about BB 10, BB 20 or even God can’t even save them now, stupid RIM.

    • I don’t know if God is interested in saving RIM, but if he is, he certainly can. Sounds like you don’t want RIM to survive. I agree that BB needs good apps. Getting them is just a matter of time.

  18. They should just stick with handsets that have physical keyboard. Stop trying to satisfy everybody and just focus on what they do best: physical keyboard and secured internet/email. Just make these as seamless for the customer as possible and people would buy.

    • That’s what they have been doing and it’s not working. Apple has sold 250 million iPhones (no physical keyboard). They need to do what Apple has done with the iPhone and do it better. Otherwise their toast.

  19. If work on devices actually is going faster than projected, we could very well see this second device before Q1 2013. Personally I wouldn’t hold my breath too much, but that’s not for lack of faith. It’s because I want to see a good, durable, high-quality product put out there.

  20. I’m interested. My Nexus is perpetually buggy, never recieves timely updates and lacks a decent battery life and micro sd slot.

    On another note: Telus is the worst telecommnications company in existence. They have their heads so far up their butts that if you call them 3 times you’ll get 3 different answers and all of them will be wrong.
