Another of the next-generation, BB10-powered BlackBerry line-up has been revealed in the shape of the BlackBerry Milan.
This phone features a style similar to the current Torch 9810, in that it's rocking a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out from beneath a full touchscreen.
CrackBerry has nabbed an alleged first image of the device, which shows RIM is keen to finally drop the useless optical trackpad and also dispense with the menu, call and back buttons that have been a staple of its devices for years.
Inter the BlackBerry
Specs are very thin on the ground for the BlackBerry Milan, although CrackBerry is reporting the screen will come with a pixel density even sharper than the iPhone 4S.
We're very interested to note the layout of the Milan, as that touchscreen / keyboard chassis looks a little off-balance given the size of the display - one-handed interaction isn't going to be that easy on a phone like this.
The operating system will be based on QNX, the same as used in the BlackBerry Playbook, but RIM is clearly hoping that its new range of phones will help catapult it back to the front of the smartphone pack in the way it hasn't managed in the tablet market as yet.
