Samsung and Apple's smartphones have crashed against RIM's shores for years, eroding the BlackBerry brand to a paper-thin shadow of its past greatness. While the company's fate is impossible to know, analysts suspect that the BlackBerry 10 (BB10) will either be Research in Motion's death knell or the call to battle that will bring the two dominant tech giants to their knees.
Consumers and business owners will be given a glimpse into the upcoming line of BB10 phones tomorrow at RIM's launch event, but if you're still itching for leaks, GSMArena has you covered. A user of the site recently submitted photos of a mysterious BlackBerry device, which the site believes "looks a lot like the BlackBerry Dev Alpha unit." The device, which is reportedly being used to train store employees in Kuwait, will release in the middle-eastern region in 14 days, according to the source. Click here to view the unknown phone. Not long ago, a press photo of the Z10-All Touch smartphone leaked as well, which is pictured above.
So far, we know about the Z10, X10, and N-Series. Also known as the L-Series, the Z10 will likely feature a 4.2-inch screen with a 1280x768 display, 16GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, and an 1,800mAh battery, a 2MP front camera, an 8MP back camera, single LED flash with auto focus, and 1080p digital recording with 5x digital zoom. The L-Series will launch alongside the X10 and N-Series, which carry a traditional keypad, on January 30th.
