also the voice control is poo poo but i wasn't exactly expecting much. i can't wait for the apple in car thing because at least siri is usable. why yes it makes total sense to do "NAVIGATION" "CANCEL ROUTE" "YES" instead of "cancel nav"

...we've seen the first step in that process today at Mobile World Congress 2014 (MWC), where the company announced a new keyboard-equipped BlackBerry 10 device with the well-known menu, back, send, and end keys of old, as well as a trackpad.

The first BlackBerry Q20 concept makes an appearance - looking good

With the BlackBerry Q20 getting confirmed earlier today at Mobile World Congress we are in the dark as to what the device will look like exactly as it's not yet been shown off and won't be with us until the second half of 2014. With the important news that it will see a return of the trackpad and function keys it's certainly got my brain working overtime imagining how the Q20 will shape up.

The image above was posted on a BBM Channel a short time ago. It's clearly a concept of what we may expect to see from the Q20 and although at first I was a little reluctant to think about using a trackpad once again, this thing looks pretty darn sweet.

With the Q20 sporting the largest display we've yet to see on a hardware BlackBerry keyboard (3.5 inches) I'm intrigued to discover whether the keyboard on the Q20 will remain the same size as on the Q10 or whether we'll see a slight increase.

Only time will tell on the final results, but whatever happens it's exciting news for us loyal hardware keyboard fans. I think it's safe to say we'll see the also newly announced Z3 hit the market first and from where I'm sitting, that makes sense.

Hands up who's with me in thinking this concept looks darn sexy?

what do u wanna bet chen came up with that idea at the last possible second, hence the 'second half of 2014' launch date and lack of even a rendering or illustration of what it'll look like.

he's just with his press team and they're like "aw poo poo, we don't have anything to announce!" and he's like "uhhhh.... hmmm.... wellllllll... bring back the trackball and hardkeys? i mean, why not, right? we can work on it when we're back from barcelona.

This week, during MWC in Barcelona, BlackBerry announced that we�ll soon see the return of the famous optical trackpad that so many of us loved prior to the launch of BlackBerry 10. I�m among the trackpad loving crowd, and I�m reminded of this every time I try to move the cursor around my screen to edit text on any of today�s typical touchscreen devices.

who the gently caress has a problem moving the cursor around on a touchscreen? yeah my old htc was poo poo at it but if you buy a good phone running a good os then its fine. it's not a problem that needs solving by an upside down optical mouse.

So, I dropped my BB Storm II getting out of my car (broke the clip on the armor case) the other day at work (out of the hundreds of other times I've dropped the drat thing) and managed to crack the glass on it (this time), while it the phone still works (and still tethers as a modem to my PC/laptop just fine) the touch screen is totally hosed, any places around to get the screen replaced?

Locally I haven't found any place that can do it, let alone even one that will fix a BB, and Verizon was definitely no help as they just suggested buying another one, but the last I looked on E-Bay the drat things were still going for over a hundred bucks.

the prices are all over 100 bucks these days because of AT&T having that special deal where bringing in just about any blackberry from any carrier would get you $100 in credit at corporate stores.
