We recently posted about the 'alleged' 5 inch BlackBerry display that had shown up on the web. Whether this will ever come to market is anyones guess but forum member SenorPistachio decided to make up a concept of what the device could look like if it does in fact go into production one day.
From my perspective this looks like my dream BlackBerry 10 device and I'd love to be rocking this one so much, but it's also worth remembering that we know that the next BB10 handset from BlackBerry with a hardware keyboard will indeed feature the return of the trackpad and function buttons - something missing from this concept design. Then again, this is purely a mock up of what that 5 inch screen could look like and as you can see if dwarfs the Q10.
I'm more than happy to be doing without the 'tool belt' on a hardware keyboard device, but at the moment it seems that BlackBerry thinks otherwise. Don't get me wrong - I'm super excited about the Q20, but this concept has my juices flowing, so to speak.
Only time will tell if we'll see a QWERTY BB10 device of this size. Would it be too wide and chunky? Have your say in the comments or hit up the forum link below.

Are more people going down the SIM free route?
Asking if you folk tend to buy your BlackBerry smartphones SIM free from a retailer or on a contract with a carrier may sound like a simple question, but I suspect it will be dictated slightly by where in the world you are. Many people wouldn't consider buying the device SIM free purely because it means paying for the handset in full, up front - something that most people in this day...
CrackBerry Asks: Would you want a dual SIM BlackBerry?
Having a dual SIM phone is one of those subjects that more than likely doesn't get much thought, although many folk would probably like one. The concept is certainly not a new one and for years now dual SIM devices have been cropping up in some regions around the world, but it seems that it has never taken off with any of the top end smartphone manufactures as far as I'm aware. With...
From the forums: The BlackBerry PlayBook 10 concept and this one looks a real beauty
Currently, as far as we know, another PlayBook isn't on the cards anytime soon for BlackBerry. That doesn't stop our CrackBerry forum members from wanting a new and improved BlackBerry 10 tablet though. Andreas Kimishis1 has come up with yet another concept and I must say that it looks glorious. Since BlackBerry confirmed that the original PlayBook would not a get BlackBerry 10 update...
From the forums: Another BlackBerry Windermere concept
Judging by the amount of comments we seem to get on our concept posts it would appear that seeing what we may or may not get from BlackBerry in the future is rather popular. The above concept arrived the other day from form member ummie4 and while it looks pretty darn sweet I'm not sure we'll see a design like this go into production. The big difference here compared to other Q30/...
