With BlackBerry 7 Smartphones now available and/or soon rolling out from carriers around the world, in true CrackBerry fashion it's time to start thinking ahead.... to RIM's first QNX BlackBerry SuperPhone coming in 2012! We've already heard quite a few details on the rumored full-touchscreen, QNX-based phone that currently goes by the codename "Colt." With a 4.1" touchscreen it will be a mini-PlayBook of sorts - which means this will be one AWESOMELY POWERFUL phone.
An awesomely-powerful phone deserves an equally awesome name, and with it being so different from previous BlackBerry phones before it we can only assume RIM will not choose to put it into one of the existing product families iike the Bold, Torch or Curve. Already in our CrackBerry forums a couple of threads have popped up brainstorming around how Research In Motion may choose to officially name the first of this new generation and line of BlackBerry SuperPhones. Could it be the BlackBerry Kraken (so Liam Neeson can dramatically announce it to the world)? Or maybe the BlackBerry Bolt or Slate? What about the BlackBerry Stealth? Or heck, just call it the BlackBerry SuperPhone.
Personally I haven't given it too much thought yet, but for some reason kind of feel like the original codename of the Pearl Flip could be fitting here... the BlackBerry KickStart. Afterall, the "colt" will be kickstarting a whole new generation of phones for BlackBerry and hopefully mark a big resurgence for BlackBerry up the smartphone food chain.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Let's get the brainstorming and discussion going here folks.... What would YOU name the first QNX BlackBerry SuperPhone? Drop a comment to this post with your suggestions and ideas. Wouldn't it be cool if we could look back in a few months and see that a CrackBerry member nailed the name?!

How about 'Go F Yourself' because its in good fun you prick. BTW - I already know its pathetic.

Its a shame we all have to scroll past this section of the comments, so i'll go ahead an make it worth everyone's time by saying :

Blackberry® Play™ maybe??
CDM76 Sep 7, 2011 at 11:53 pm
BlackBerry Play is great name :)
renzokuken.tan Sep 8, 2011 at 2:21 am
Too close to "Sony Ericsson, Experia Play" don't you think?
MrxXx Sep 7, 2011 at 6:48 pm
I should call it: 'Nuevo' wich means 'new' in latin or,'Renate' wich means 'reborn' in latin.
Blackberry Nuevo sonds good to me ;)
krimzonskies Sep 7, 2011 at 12:37 pm
name won't matter a whole lot.. i just hope they get the battery life right.. that's the only thing holding me back on the 9900 over my 9780 currently.
Rob Robertson Sep 7, 2011 at 1:08 pm
The superphone will most likely be a dual-core, full touchscreen. If you think that it will have the battery life of a 9780, I think you'll be disappointed.
There will be a 9790 model that will have the internals of the 9900 but the body of the 9780. So basically an OS7 compatible 9780.
My guess is that it'll have a gigantic battery in it for the many people (like you) who use their device heavily all day.
StaticFX Sep 7, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Actually it will be single core....
BlackBerry Ballzak! J/K (but how cool would that be? "Hey i just picked up a new Ballzak!) lol
how about BB Typhoon?
BB Task?
Taser? lol
Torque?
Dragon?
How about BlackBerry BringItRightNowBecauseWeCantWait!
XPEH Sep 7, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Actually it will be dual core. Check out Kevin's post a few weeks ago.
StaticFX Sep 7, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Links? - all i have found is that it will be a single core... for better battery life.
Jake Storm Sep 7, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Definitely DUAL CORE. Confirmed here...
http://crackberry.com/first-qnx-blackberry-superphone-currently-codename...
Do some research before you go boldly spouting bs about single core qnx phones, pretending like you know.
Rob Robertson Sep 7, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Torque sounds cool.
Willy362 Sep 7, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Hahahaha BB Ballzak xD
justcurious#WN Sep 7, 2011 at 12:38 pm
I think "Colt" is a good name personally. Just as long as they don't market it as a "superphone". That just sounds ridiculous.
dasDestruktion Sep 7, 2011 at 12:50 pm
I'm with you. "SuperPhone" is just how they're describing them publicly as of now, but it sounds ridiculous.
sidds18 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:14 pm
agree with you SUPER PHONE does sound ridiculous.....just keep it simple in projection and should be powerful in performance.
3Dee Sep 7, 2011 at 3:13 pm
Colt is an awesome name! How could it get any better? Maybe if they called it the Blackberry Peyton? Go Colts!
noname82 Sep 8, 2011 at 9:18 pm

JNM Sep 7, 2011 at 12:38 pm
How about the "Hope and Pray" or the "Hail Mary" or even the "Now with Email!"
Seriously though, how about the "BlackBerry Q"
shebmiller Sep 7, 2011 at 12:56 pm
I like the "Blackberry Q" as an actual, realistic name.
But like I've said before in a jokingly fashion, it should be called the Blackberry STFU (Dual cam, flash, html5, NFC, usb 3.0, wifi hotspot, dart gun equiped to silence the trolls, etc...)
Nogrentain Sep 7, 2011 at 4:49 pm
I wholeheartedly agree: Blackberry STFU!
noname82 Sep 7, 2011 at 4:58 pm
"...dart gun equipped to silence the trolls..."
I want one.
crystinonfire Sep 9, 2011 at 6:59 pm
would definitely be the best phone with the best name ever.
Accio_BBandCoffee Sep 7, 2011 at 10:23 pm
BlackBerry STFU FTW! I don't care what they call it, cuz as far as I'm concerned it will be the STFU.

Nah, Motorola would get angry then since they had the Motorola Q line of smartphones which actually used the BlackBerry form factor.
dcdarrencrosby Sep 7, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Motorola already had a phone called the Q. I had one because the reps convinced me it was better than a BB... most unstable POS I have ever dealt with.

If its boss enough I would just call it the BlackBerry QNX Mark I, simple and it reflects the phone as a step forward into something new.
Or something like BlackBerry Arc (Ark).
Mazokun Sep 7, 2011 at 12:44 pm

Okay I had to throw it in especially since this was the clOsest to my idea the BBX and the next one would square it, like the BBX' (that's supposed to be a two) so on and so forth as long as the QNX platform stands. Also, is this the producer Moe Beats? If so man I gotta holler at u I'm in the DMV area....

the merchandising would be cool
"Release the Kraken!!" Shout by a RIM rep in a pirate ship. The from the water comes the new QNX phone. Just wish RIM one day would be good at doing this kind of stuff to create hype over the brand

And any updates that arrive will be too late because people already given up and switched to a more polished Smartphone.

Bold 9910
stealthfox Sep 7, 2011 at 12:59 pm
I like Spark, and Phoenix as stated above. Was also thinking "BlackBerry Flash", since the commercials focus on running Adobe Flash for the PlayBook, and I'm sure the QNX phones will be able too as well. Or the "BlackBerry Flow", in hopes it will have liquid smooth 'flowing' transitions between the animations and applications on the device.

BlackBerry X
I like BlackBerry X. The X is for QNX but also shows a new number scheme after the "9900". It shows that BlackBerry i sin for a new generation of devices with a pretty bold name.
They could even name a Qwerty QNX phone the BlackBerry Bold X or something like that.

vishalsheth83 Sep 7, 2011 at 1:04 pm
Kevin, the last Mobile Nations podcast (or maybe two episodes ago) I thought you said it was going to be a 4.3" screen. Either way, I think the name should be dependent on if they plan on keeping with their plan of releasing different models for different people or just one model a year like the iPhone. If they're going to with one model per year, I think they should adopt Apple's naming and just go with BlackBerry One, then go with BB 2, 3, 4 etc.
If they're throwing out options of screen sizes and keyboard/no keyboard etc...I like the BlackBerry Phoenix name. A rebirth of the platform.
Kevin Michaluk Sep 7, 2011 at 1:15 pm
yeah, i just remembered wrong on that podcast.. go back to the post i did on the colt (linked to in this post) and i said it was 4.1", which was correct.
Eli_B Sep 7, 2011 at 1:04 pm
How about the BlackBerry Voyager (to continue the naming scheme from above) :) (yes, I'm a Star Trek fan). Seriously tho..Voyager would be a cool name
dcdarrencrosby Sep 7, 2011 at 1:09 pm
I think LG already had a phone called the Voyager on VZW

andrewmcwhirter Sep 7, 2011 at 1:09 pm
I think RIM will continue to use current names (Bold, Torch) for the QNX devices. They have already invested in the branding behind those devices and don't want to throw that away. "The new Blackberry Bold Superphone, powered by the totally redesigned Blackberry OS 8".
stealthfox Sep 7, 2011 at 5:10 pm
I agree that they will probably continue with the same names, but I think it will be a mistake. If this is supposed to be the "evolution" of BlackBerry devices, then RIM needs to make an effort to differeniate the devices/OS. I understand the branding behind those device names, but if you want to attract new users to the devices, then they need to change up the name.
Dammerung2010 Sep 7, 2011 at 1:10 pm
I vote they name it the BlackBerry Jam.
Think about it, it's going to usher in a new era for BlackBerry devices, where more media will be at our fingertips than ever before. That and it's a bit funny too lol.
atlantaconda Sep 7, 2011 at 1:12 pm
I'm gonna go w/ the Blackberry Quantum or Blackberry Quake would be nice too, it kinda goes w/ the Storm & Torch IMO
disney4life Sep 7, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Even 007 had to answer to "Q" . I know that's corny but Q reminds me of that power and control but can get out there and "shake it up a bit" if needed.
The Consigliere Sep 7, 2011 at 1:13 pm
I'm gonna with some others & say Phoenix, if it really NEEDS a name. The commercials would be pretty sweet, at least one set of them. Start off by showing the original Blackberry, it burns, then the next one pops up, it burns, etc, (a timeline effect) until the Phoenix rises up off the table & turning on & showing everyone what the QNX-based OS is all about. RIM you can totally use that commercial idea IF you send me one of these phones for free :-) Even if they don't use the name Phoenix, you have to admit, it would be a great commercial!
Darlaten Sep 7, 2011 at 1:13 pm
My naming choices would be:
The Blackbery "Summer"
The Blackberry "60 Days"
The Blackbery "Broken Promises"
The Blackberry "Patience"

I prefer the Blackberry One, and then move to Blackberry Two with the 2013 model year. This would simplify it for outsiders that "One" is the one to own. And when "Two" comes out, it's the top end device.
Rob Robertson Sep 7, 2011 at 1:22 pm
You guys are picking a lot of names that have already been taken or don't make sense.
-Blackberry Evolution or revolution won't work because there's already the EVO android phone, and there has to be a million other trademarks for products with 'revolution' in it.
-Blackberry Genesis is the name of a car by Hyundai and a video game
-Blackberry future? Blackberry rebound? Hehe, I get it, you were just kidding... Right?
-Blackberry Blaze? I like because it fits with their naming convention: One syllable words! Bold, Curve, Torch, Storm, Colt (allegedly).

Blackberry Hurricane or Blackberry Quake - Since we got something that uses fire (torch) and sort of the water (storm). A trend towards elements would be cool
Blackberry Grand - Well this one needs no explanation, right?
Blackberry Tease - Because that's what RIM has been doing to us lately >.>
Blackberry Omega or Blackberry Delta - Thought it would be cool to use a Greek letter in the name
Xader Sep 7, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Considering Omega has connotations of the "end" or "death", I don't think that one would be a smart move...
ph03n1x Sep 7, 2011 at 1:27 pm
i think the blackberry phoenix (rising from the ashes) or cheetah (fastest animal on land) would b cool too

I am surprised that no one said
Blackberry touch
Its obvious that that's the name since they didn't use it for the torch 9850/9860 they are saving ot for the new superphones
Say it
BLACKBERRY TOUCH
It sounds perfect
f1mx Sep 7, 2011 at 1:41 pm
as in iPod touch? Ewww... That would switch me to other company xD

OR "The 'Wave' that sank RIM."

How about BlackBerry Pride.
A nice slap in the face to the industry and analysts that the company is confident in its product and also that it understands the sentiment of its fan base. Pride in where theyve been and where they are going. Its almost a name that can transcend the physical device itself.
k-fos Sep 7, 2011 at 1:33 pm
blackberry oxford - adds a touch of sophistication and elegance that the brand is associated with. also is a notable educational institution, a style of business shoe and white collar business shirt. also nods to the neighboring county of waterloo, sure many employees live in that area.
k-fos Sep 7, 2011 at 1:53 pm
oxford dictionary - "the worlds most trusted dictionary"
blackberry oxford - "the worlds most trusted smartphone"
the blackberry oxford, defining our language.

maybe the blackBerry 3 series, 5 series and 7 series, to replace curve, torch and bold. named after prestigious bmw automobiles.

i think a good name would be.....BLACKBERRY QUANTUM. as one of the definitions of the word in the english dictionary means spectacular,or nothing less.
kanezo Sep 7, 2011 at 1:49 pm
The Finale
codemaker Sep 7, 2011 at 1:50 pm
I see at least one other person has had this idea, but I would say call it the Blackberry One. The current blackberry numbering scheme is out of control and does not resonate with consumers. RIM should use this opportunity to restart the numbering scheme and signal to consumers that this is a significant departure from previous devices.
uk0311 Sep 7, 2011 at 1:50 pm
"FLASH"
lilmicstar#cb Sep 7, 2011 at 1:54 pm
The Blackberry Bax
Because it would be prenouched as Back, and this phone puts Blackberry back in the market !! Also the x in the name could stand for qnX :)

MondoB Sep 7, 2011 at 2:05 pm
The first one I though of, which has been mentioned a few times, was the BlackBerry Phoenix. I also like the BlackBerry Genesis.
If you want to stay with the "Q" theme.... the BlackBerry Quest.
Or you could make it Q without actually being Q.... the BlackBerry Queue.
chiefbroski Sep 7, 2011 at 2:13 pm
If I had to make some guesses:
Blackberry Torch 8,
Blackberry 8
Blackberry Torch NX (because Q sounds stupid),
Blackberry Prime
Blackberry Elite
I would name it the Blackberry Boss.
Simple, baller and just pure boss. Everyone wants to be the boss.
Edit: Thanks to all who posted with some great ideas before me!
Xader Sep 7, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Boss would be a great name for a new Leica camera.
Leica Boss.....lol

LutherSnow74 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:10 pm
I like "Blackberry One"...
experiment 626 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:10 pm
I also vote for the BlackBerry Phoenix name. Thought that's what the 9850/60 all-touchscreen devices should have been named instead of sharing the Torch name with the 9800/10 sliders.

Blackberry Gold (as in Gold Medal from 2012 Olympics)
Blackberry Grande
rexknapps Sep 7, 2011 at 2:18 pm
I didn't even think of Matrix. Could be cool with a green "technology" theme. I considered Nova but then remembered my mothers old car.
pick Sep 7, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Blackberry Phoenix.
Why? Cause its rising from the ashes of OS 4/5/6, and represents a rebirth by RIM.
IvanAMANation Sep 7, 2011 at 3:34 pm
I like this one, too. It makes a strong and powerful statement. RIM has to "shove it" to all the critics
chats90 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Blackberry Blitz ?? :P
dirtynrth Sep 7, 2011 at 2:16 pm
The naming conventions get tiring / confusing... I would line up with what premium car brands are doing: Mercedez S-Class, E-Class, etc... or BMW 3 series, 5 series, 7 series...
Works well for Apple (marketed as a premium brand, despite the fact that I think its a middle of the road smart phone, at least for what i need a SP for).
honsoloswookie Sep 7, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Not to sure if this has already been said but I would call it the Q100 i know it sounds a little plain but Blackberry has a fetish for number models and to be honest Blackberry Q sounds fitting
sidds18 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Blackberry" Achiliis"!
how about it.......coz even if something small goes wrong...we can blame it to the "heel of achillis"

Blackberry Quantum
dakid72 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:26 pm
I simply say call it "UberBerry" or "UberBlack"
rexknapps Sep 7, 2011 at 2:27 pm
I think the 9850/60 should be renamed Blackberry Flame.
marcowhoelse Sep 7, 2011 at 2:29 pm

century0 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Blackberry Rebirth. Because its bound to bring people back. :D
PJNERO Sep 7, 2011 at 2:33 pm
What about calling it the Quest?
Umm Yeah... Sep 7, 2011 at 2:36 pm
I would just call it "Mine". :)
Mr.Black.Berry Sep 7, 2011 at 2:41 pm
How about the "the smoke". The blackberry smoke. I like that
miamimanu86 Sep 7, 2011 at 2:42 pm
BlackBerry One.
FlightsimGuy Sep 7, 2011 at 2:42 pm
I like blaze and phoenix like many others, for a sense of rebirth. Quantum sounds good as well.
Blackberry Brio
Blackberry Dash
Blackberry Spirit give a sense of feeling and energy.
Blackberry Charge
Backberry Circuit sound "techy"
Blackberry Synergy sounds like it describes what it does, but it may have too many syllables. Can't get too complicated, otherwise people get confused. I wish I had a dollar for the amount of times I heard someone mispronounce "Panache".
