BlackBerry is trying hard to keep its neck out of water, the
Canadian smartphone maker had released the BlackBerry Passport last year in an
attempt to re-invent the smartphone industry. The phone was well received by
the critics but failed to make an impact in the market. Now BlackBerry has
teased us with another unique looking device that has not been officially
confirmed but looks a lot like the decade-old slider phone with a bigger, better,
and brighter screen.
In the BlackBerry event at Mobile World Congress, the
company's President of Devices and Emerging Solutions, Ron Louks pulled out a
prototype handset that had the classic slider form factor. The phone seemed to
feature a dual curve display along with the BlackBerry 10 keyboard. The curve
display indicates Samsung's involvement with the coming smartphone. The keyboard was placed under the screen in
the same way a slider phone accommodates the keyboard.
The device has not been given any name yet but since it has
already been displayed at the MWC it might make it to the commercial market by
the end of this year. The curved screen on the phone sure looks uber cool but it will definitely make the device
uber-expensive too. BlackBerry still has a hold on a tiny but loyal market and
this phone will cater to that minute fraction of consumers.
