Photos of a small, squat smartphone are being linked to the upcoming BlackBerry Q30. Could this really be what BlackBerry is planning?
BlackBerry fans will be pleased to hear that the wait is over for the Q10, with Optus and Telstra to range the keyboard-toting smartphone from July 1. Optus will be first to market by a single day, with Telstra's sales to commence on the 2nd of the month. Electronics retailers Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi will also be in on the action with outright sales of the phone.
There's a question everyone has been asking for the past two years, and the Q10 appears to be the answer. Is BlackBerry back? With the famous hardware keyboard on the outside and a snazzy new touch-based system on the inside, it certainly seems so. It certainly looks the part. The Q10 is 100-percent a BlackBerry phone, the sort of handset you can easily recognise from across the room. At that distance, you'd be forgiven for mistaking the Q10 for a late-model Bold handset -- the Bold 9900 especially -- but on closer inspection there are quite a few nice differences to consider.
