BlackBerry 10 L-Series snapped once again showing off its homescreen

Just ordered mine = ) can wait

WOW, not on the UI, but on the BlackBerry 10 device itself. This seems like the real first glance to the actual phone. It sure looks like that 2nd leaked render way back earlier this year! Great Job on posting Bla1ze

so the very original leak from once upon a time is true? http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/blackberry-london.jpg

So square icons, great to know for developers. I was looking at more bb7 or even playbook styles but now I have a much better idea, and with my alpha bricked with the thanks for participating message an l-series would be a welcome addition.

Since you guys have seen the new hardware, and your linking links to the leaked slide that Kevin posted in January. You're not breaking your NDA, but you're telling us what it will look like if you read between the lines.
Thank-You Mr. Bla1ze.
I like it, and now i'm even more stoked!

Not a big fan of every icon being squared itself, or via the box each is placed in. Makes icons a little harder to distinguish from one another. I would much rather have icons appear as they already do on bbos 7, or on the PlayBook.

The os icons look ugly . I hope they make them a little more dynamic.

well I really like the phone can't wait for bb10, but I Hope blackberry delete this ugly semi-trasparent boxes around de icons Horrible!

Something is obviously off. If you look at the upper right hand corner you can see that the usual blackberry data symbol is wrong, it looks like a windows emblem. It could just be a bad picture but it looks funny to me.

I really hope that's a womens hand....«tbumb»

UI is pretty bland and plain but I'm sure thats just due to being beta/testing.

If this is for real, someone's about to get in a TON of trouble. The device looks like it watermarks the PIN number on the homescreen, so I assume RIM can track who has the device...

I for one, Mr. Bla1ze, know its not final sotware and it WILL change and has already changed from the old software pic when its released. But I also know the hardware is what is pictured above. :)

Nice to see RIM has qnx integrated with the noc.....can I haz bbm on my PlayBook now!?!?!?

& BBM GROUPS & bridged sms....... Please!!

What the heck does the "E" mean in the upper right corner?

I noticed the BB symbol too. I thought BB10 will use regular data (like iOS and Android) and not require a BIS plan... so why the BB symbol?
On my BB7 phone the H+ is there to show your connected to data, but you need the BB symbol displayed so you can actually use data and shows you have a connection the BIS.
Or am I getting this all wrong?

"E" means its connected to Edge data I believe???

I belive too Sparro ! With this leaked pic it makes me ao excited to get this bb10 ASAP!

UI guidelines tell you to use a specific size for the icons. It's most likely going to look like the icons on the PlayBook, for better or for worse. Frankly, it's going to be Active Frames implementation that will differentiate BB10 from Android, iOS, and WP8. Every mobile platform has a list of apps, and none of them are terribly exciting.

Bla1ze, can you clarify the BIS data or regular data for me???

One thing I noticed that makes me question the age of this picture has to do with the icon image sizes. On these pics the image of the bbm logo, the browser and contacts is stretched and square looking. But the same logos (look at the facebook logo for reference) are better in the video leak and image leaks we saw last week. I think these pics are pretty old.

What a relief to see the front facing cam if the hardware is not going to change...But cannot to see the blinking led light...Maybe a bad pic but would not want to miss the LED...

The Blinking light is there, to the right of the camera.
And to everybody else questioning the icons and software, do yourself a favour and read the above posts and you will see that this is old software and has changed and will change again until its final.... sheeesh

Someone get that thumb a pair of clippers... WOW!

Personally, all I want to see is the hardware!!!! We know the software isn't finalized. And we won't see finalized software unfilled official announcement. Since the hardware is pretty much in its final stages, I feel we should find out about the hardware. Especially the N-series!

Did anyone notice that front camera? Boy o boy, BBm video calls are on their way, its just a matter of launching this beauty now. I ll be surprised if skype devs are interested?

Oh my.. I really can't wait for BB10. I hope they can change the icons just like the BB7 OS. Am excited..

I seriously hope this is just the quintessence of the UI. The contacts icon is the only thing that's even remotely close to elegance. Wouldn't settle for anything less than what we've already seen in the market. The eloquence of the iOS interface with the boldness of BlackBerry that's what i had in mind. But something completely unique other than whats already in the market with incredible elegance is much sought-after and i hope BlackBerry delivers it. The BlackBerry 10 sneak peek from the keynote showed promise but what I've seen so far on the Dev Alpha along with the leaked images weigh little bit on the disappointing side. Regardless I'm going to get one as soon as its out.

P.S would be nice if the full touch is called 'BlackBerry London'

LOL! I love reading the comments about the hand holding the device. Like, seriously?

Thanks for sharing, Bla1ze! Have to say, too bad the image cut off the top and bottom edges of the phone. Really excited about the FFC (camera). I know the icon design isn't final, but the ones here are definitely lacking in punch. I'm hoping for animated icons, kind of like with the animated BBM profile pics. BB10 should be all about customization, as with previous BB phones. Very excited to see the final product! xD

Mannnnn! B1aze is "on fire" when its coming to answering all these questions and thoughts on this thing. Should we not give him a round of appluase for him clearing up things like, "its not the final build", "bad pic", "e is for edge" and "its not the final build!". Teahcers always said there's no such think as a stupid quesiton, but what about a dumb one? Obviously B1aze has a lot of patience. And that's why he's so nice about this all.

now this isn't from March 31st is it? look at the calendar date.

Bla1ze, can you please comment on the LED ?
Maybe it's just the picture or the LED is behind the black bezel and is flashing "trough", but I sure hope they did not get rid of the LED.
This is one of my 5 must-have things!

Looking at this picture closely I thought it was this one - http://mobile.theverge.com/2011/11/14/2561438/blackberry-london-qnx-pict....

Then again, it is not a very good picture at all. It probably is the BB London that I prefer, the one with rounded edges :)

Interested to see what the final UI looks like as I prefer smaller icons.

I prefer the OS 5 battery icon....

Man i cannot wait for a leak of the 'other' device...

I'll take the angled edges any day. Reminds me of a Delorean DMC-12.

Everyone should send a pin message to that device letting that person know they are about to get sacked.

Can we please freaking get it in white?! That Dev Alpha device looked awesome in white, I think it would be worth it for RIM to put a white one out there.

I sure hope we will be able to "hide all icons" like we can with the PB and current BB's. That is one of my top 3 features of each. I love to see my background, not icons.

Anyhoo, yay! more pictures :)

It is absolutely clear that there are still people who post comments without taking the two minutes to read Bla1se's post.

I think these leaks are staged. The reason I say this is they reveal a little but not really what Blackberry fans want to see, i.e., the whole phone!

Thanks RIM for the little sneak peak to keep us happy pre Nokia 920 press conference. Looking forward to seeing the whole phone either before or after the iPhone 5 press conference. Maybe with a little blury video showing something the iPhone 5 can't do.

Thanks!

My 2 cents! I hope the face of this new bb10 is seamless, I would like a surface that is like the playbook! I dont like the plastic peice at the top where the speaker is. My 9850 leaks dust in and i would hope to not see that again in a new device. My thoughts!

Anyone else notice the E in the upper right corner where it would usually say 3G, EDGE, H+, 4G or what have you?

Hate the square icons

Like the look of the phone, obviously OS is not final. Really hoping some of those N series leaks get out. Here's my question to Bla1ze..With the iPhone 5 "leaks" looking rather similar to this does BB risk being sued for "copying" geometric shapes by Apple?

Looks like one of those first London concepts to me

Obviously this isn't the final software, but I'm excited to see Story Maker and what JayCut has put together for BB10. Hopefully we'll get a sneak peak at BB Jam Americas. Waiting patiently for BB10!!

This not the final version. I do not think Rim has handed out the handset to anyone to test yet. (Not even the Carriers) My cousin is one of the Directors at Rim and believe me its not out for people to take pictures yet. However, there may not be much changes in the look from this to the final version. I heard Rim will be handing the test handsets to all the carriers and senior Rim executives end of this month (even those handsets may not have the final cosmetic look) and when the launch happens it would be a pleasant surprise to all of us and the Apple /Android folks.

I thought bb10 was pushing Live Tiles..

Am I the only one who actually liked the homescreen, along with the icons and all that?

STAY OPEN TO POSSIBILITIES. BE BOLD.

What I want and probably won't get for a while anyway, is some clear pictures contrasting the new BB10 phone with the Bold 9900/9930 so that I can get a sense of the size of the new phones. All I've seen so far, including the pictures next to the 9900, haven't succeeded in doing this. Personally, the Bold 9900 is close to the maximum size I want in a phone. The new BB10 phones can be a little larger then the 9900's, but I'm hoping they're not too much so.

As it stands it won't sale. The interface looks like one of those chinese phones. It's really ugly.

the icons look kinda ugly in this..i liked the browser icon better in the other screenshot..but still lot more work needs to be done...maybe this is from an older build. hope to see better icons..

neat.. but I think the Playbook icons are better. just a thought. thats all

Seriously, those icons are ugly...

This is wicked

Really Blackberry??? Your phone looks just like the iphone and i think the software on my nokia 5.1 looked more advanced than this. Actually i'm trying to work out whether this is a photo or a picture on the back of a fag packet stolen from an Apple workers waste paper bin.

All jibes aside, i loved Blackberry for the buttons. I do not have the patience to operate touch screens. i like to type my emails fast and make phone calls. Not sit ignorantly on my phone constantly, surfing the web, texting my friends and playing angry birds. Seems just like everyone else, you've sold out to the iphone market and what drew me to Blackberry originally, is now dead and buried.
