Most know that BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is falling behind their rivals and having quite a hard time keeping up with the likes of iOS and Android that continue to eat into RIM’s market share. However, Research In Motion hopes to pull back some of their former glory when they finally release their new BlackBerry 10 smartphones.
The problem with RIM is that their BlackBerry smartphone designs have become somewhat bland, but with a little creativity perhaps RIM could turn things around, such as the concept design for the BlackBerry Blade, which comes our way courtesy of the guys over at Ubergizmo and by way of Crackberry.
The BlackBerry Blade concept has been designed by design company Pixelcarve, and one does have to say that this concept BlackBerry handset does look stunning, and if the BlackBerry Blade ever made it to the mobile space would come running Blackberry 10.
Spec wise BlackBerry handset would offer a 4.5-inch 720p AMOLED touch screen along with a 12 megapixel rear facing camera, 1080p video, a 5 megapixel front facing camera, Adobe Flash and HTML5, a 1.5GHz quad core processor, microVGA, microHDMI, microUSB, 4G LTE, and microSD expansion.
The BlackBerry Blade concept would feature an aluminum and acrylic housing along with Gorilla Glass and a slight curved form factor with a slide up touch screen to reveal that familiar BlackBerry keyboard.
Current speculation is that the BlackBerry London will be RIM’s first BlackBerry 10 smartphone to come out and play, but would you prefer a device like the BlackBerry Blade to be RIM’s first BB10 handset?
