If you were wondering where BlackBerry was going in terms of their
future phones and phone designs, you needn’t have to go far. Mexican
site Hola Telcel has managed to get video of a demo of an
L-series phone running BlackBerry 10 from a BlackBerry rep, of all
people (the original Vimeo link has been taken out, though website AllAboutPhones
have graciously uploaded it to their channel). The video is completely
in Spanish, but that’s not really much of an issue since most of what’s
happening on the device is pretty self-explanatory. Whether this
particular device demo was approved by the folks higher up in the food
chain doesn’t matter; what does matter is that we’re liking what we’re
seeing on the video – the “best shot” feature is particularly
interesting, which should result in less cringe-worthy photos in the
near future. The predictive onscreen keyboard is also pretty good, which
should come as no surprise given that BlackBerry is a company that
specializes in messaging. Watching the video gives us a lot of hope that
the company may still turn their fortunes around with the new devices –
hopefully they can flush out the kinks in the system and get their
wares out before the year ends.
