Striking while the iron is still hot, BlackBerry could be looking to launch another Android-powered device � the BlackBerry Vienna -- this time with a more traditional candy bar form factor.
We�re not entirely sure how successful the launch of the BlackBerry Priv was, but the device seemed to receive a relatively warm reception. Striking while the iron is still hot, BlackBerry could be looking to launch another Android-powered device � the BlackBerry Vienna.
Carrying a more traditional BlackBerry design, the Vienna has a candy-bar form factor with a full QWERTY keyboard that occupies the front of the smartphone. It�s tough to tell from the leaked renders alone, but the keyboard almost appears to be the same size as the Priv�s, only with less screen real estate to play around with.
It�s possible BlackBerry could tweak the final design of the Vienna before its release, so the actual device could look slightly different once launched. Unfortunately specs or other hardware details weren�t revealed, so you�ll have to keep guessing like the rest of us. What do you guys think? Would you favor this form factor over the slide-out QWERTY keyboard of the Priv?
