New BlackBerry for the masses?

Mid-range BlackBerry R10 spied before BlackBerry Live launch

With only a week to go until the BlackBerry Live 2013 developer conference in Orlando, pictures have leaked of a reportedly more affordable BlackBerry.

Dubbed the "R10", this leaked smartphone sports one of those keyboard things. And according to reports, the R10's chassis will be of the affordable variety, so should appeal to the always-important youth market.

The R10 will purportedly be available in a range of colours, including black, white, and red.

Specs-wise, the R10 will allegedly boast a 3.1-inch 720x720 display, a 5-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and a 1800mAh battery.

Given the R10 will reportedly run BlackBerry 10.1, it should provide access to all of the apps available to the BlackBerry Q10 and Z10.

We shouldn't have to wait long for confirmation on all this, mind, for BlackBerry Live 2013 kicks off on May 14th.

From starting out as a games tester for Mastertronic, Virgin and Sega in the late 1980s, it may seem odd to then ditch everything to write about mobile phones that, at the time, lasted 20 minutes between charges. He always had a hunch mobiles would become quite popular, but possibly didn't realise how powerful (and, ironically, returning to 20 minutes between charges). Jonathan's job is to continue advising on the best hardware to buy, in order to enjoy games that have advanced considerably since those long days and nights testing Double Dragon on the C64.
