2 Left Speakers?

 
 
Posted by JMDBERRY Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Hey! With two left spkrs,...you can hear your call in your "left ear" when holding the phone to your right ear.

LOL

For those who hold the phone up to their left ear maybe?

Best Blackberry would be the Bold 9000 form factor with a touchscreen, trackpad, 1gz processor, 1gb ram, front & rear camera (8mp). Build that and the masses will follow.

 
 
Posted by LV Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

i was thinking the same exact thing. i still cant understand why rim would abandon that design so quickly.

 
 
Posted by ShowBoy Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

The design was weak many of the models could not stand the trials of time as the fell apart with there shit plastic and crappy screens(the platic Cover) as my heart is in the place of the form factor but any thing away from the bold 9000 design is great i just hate the 9000 parts

 
 
Posted by tnewton3 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I'm with you on this one. I would love the 9000 remake, maybe even a tiny bit bigger for screen size, minus the trackpad and send/end keys put them on the touchscreen. That will be my next phone if made.

The one he is "moking" up has too small a keyboard for me. Looks like the palm.

 
 
Posted by geek126 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

Bold 9000 with a black chrome bezel, touchscreen top full keyboard bottom. No slide flip or backflip for the key board. Maybe a trick pad but it would have to have a select button for us fat fingered users and ditch the leather back.

 
 
Posted by nevetsbold Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

YES! Exactly! The Bold 9000 with the specs you stated! It already has the best built-in speakers and keyboard. I have held/tried the new Bold's and the Tourch and I wouldn't switch to them even if they were free.

 
 
Posted by millyblick Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Looking at these specs and this "Titan" model... it made me think about turning in my Bold 9700 for this.

This is the phone that needs to come out, it has the 9000 form factor with all the new features that all of us want. BB this is your message build this or something like this please!

 
 
Posted by embalmfirst1 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I would buy it!!!!

 
 
Posted by thebluedot Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

It is hard to compete with touch screen phones on screen size. This screen looks significantly bigger than the previous BBs this would replace, but with all the media features this phone has to offer - the screen is still somewhat small compared to other devices on the market.

 
 
Posted by sdtbmx Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

i'm sorry but having the headphone port on the side is a huge design flaw. needs to be on top, i'm constantly having to replace head phones because they kink in my pocket. Also the charging port should be at the bottom of the phone to avoid an awkward feel while using during charging. You definitely still need the answer/end key. bad idea to take away since it is the best way on any phone to access your call log or home screen. i'm not a big fan of the left side convenience keys, probably can do without since it's touchscreen. leaving the volume keys and camera key/right convenience key on the right the same is a must. just feels natural. nice work. cool concept

 
 
Posted by lvcorkdork Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Sounds like you need an iPhone. Within that, you need to go easy on the designer. You spend that much time trying to make a prototype BB. Why complain about the headphone jack? Get a Bluetooth headset like the Motorola S9 which I have if you're worried about convenience, no wires. The convenience keys are one of the things my friends who have iPhone or android wish they had. I use the left side key for Facebook and the right for Pandora. Perfect for me. I agree good concept....will the canucks agree?

 
 
Posted by Zanshin- Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

As a Canuck, this device has my vote.

 
 
Posted by sdtbmx Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

i was just throwing up some concerns. i definitely don't need an i phone, i have a nexus and i still use a bold. That being said, motorola s9 headset suck unless you're sitting still. the connection breaks when i'm ripping shit on my bike.

convenience keys are meant for non touchscreen phones. the touchscreen is the convenience key.

sorry i can't go easy on the designer as there are already too many other lame devices currently available.

 
 
Posted by Xopher Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

I think things like headphone jacks and USB ports can pretty much be placed anywhere (as long as they don't block keyboard access while typing).

I have to say the convenience keys are something I definitely need. I still have the right one set for the camera. When holding my Tour like a camera, having the shutter button on top does help. Moving the shoot button to a touch screen means more possibility of movement while trying to take the photo.

I have the left side convenience key set for Vlingo. With just a push of the button, I can dictate, send messages, initiate phone calls. All of that without having to look at the phone (or searching for the button for Vlingo on the screen). I think it was a mistake to remove the left-side convenience key off of the Torch for this very reason.

 
 
Posted by zensen Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

I agree with you on all points!.. the answer and end keys NEED to be there. the 3.5mm jack needs to be at the top or bottom. i don't understand the other poster thinking you need an iphone LOL.

 
 
Posted by wyldemf Sunday, Oct 10, 2010 592 days ago

I'm with you on the headphone output being on the top and the charge port being on the bottom. It's so awkward when charging in the car to have a plug go all the way around the to the other side of the phone.

 
 
Posted by Mr-Chasteau Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Great concept. My dream? I want to be wowed with the next blackberry decice. This titan concept seems pretty cool, but odly enough, I like my BB to be a little bulky. In all essence, I want something I've never seen before. An out of this world, outrageous concept. For example a watch-based blackberry packed with so much info and capabilities that it has no space left for a clock. Just a thought...

 
 
Posted by zensen Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

I agree! it needs the bulk or at least a better feel when holding it. I can't stand the iphone4 and its thin feeling. Some people may like it but I particularly don't, the ergonomics feels all wrong and a little too lite.

 
 
Posted by Berrydale Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

That keyboard looks like a cheap and cheesy HTC Ozone key board. Verizon does/did sell them for a while, not sure if they still do.

Give the Titan a BB looking keypad so it looks like and feels like a true BlackBerry, and so it's not so ugly. Everything else in his specs would be a great upgrade for RIM.

 
 
Posted by tnewton3 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

Agreed, squeeze the Bold 9000 keyboard in there and you have a phone. That keyboard looks like a palm pre keyboard.

 
 
Posted by eahinrichsen Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Hmm, no right-side shift key? That'd be a problem.

 
 
Posted by Sgian_Dubh Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Does it have a bigger battery than 1700maH? Where are the charging connections and the IR port so I can use it as a TV/DVR remote?

 
 
Posted by avz3112 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I think RIM would be very smart to take a few ideas from Guy's Titan concept. While I'm sure we won't see a device with so many innovations soon, this is really what a BlackBerry should be if they want total competition with other smartphones. Amazing job!

 
 
Posted by robmack Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Send this to RIM and start production ASAP!

 
 
Posted by dawsonm Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Isn't this just the Motorola DROID Pro with BB6?
My dream BB would be close, but have better resolution, use the QNX OS, full LTE (data and VoLTE), and at least 16GB of onboard memory for apps and media.

 
 
Posted by jwsnj3rd Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Humm like it but I'm a storm2 junkie like to see it without a keyboard all touch not necessarily surepress but need a big touch screen:)

 
 
Posted by bad_boy321 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

An 8mpx camera, I noticed the concept had the front camera for video conferencing, nice btw, but what about the Torch concept without the slider?!. Touch option or the physical keyboard all in one.

I would like to see my Bold 9650 about 25 percent bigger in screen size, along with Wireless N Support, 8-10 MP, HD Movie support, along with the ability to run flash flast, along with a 50-100 percent more Mah in the battery. lol.

 
 
Posted by mike340t Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

Exactly !!! I have said numerous times that I love my Tour form-factor with a tad bit more screen as I can type one handed.. It would be awesome to have that with like the Epic's specs.. Kinda like Motorola did with the Droid Pro but make the screen a tad shorter so less top-heavy..

 
 
Posted by rkosowsky Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I want this phone! After a failure attempt in trying to upgrade my Storm 2 to a Storm 3, I know have hope that there will be an awesome Blackberry to come out, hopefully soon. RIM needs to hire this guy onto their development team.
So my next question is: When does it come out?!?!?

UPDATE: Make a CDMA version!!!!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by timbo22 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

This is a dream that may not come true...but to have this with a key board like our beloved 9000. I would buy in a heart beat. You wouldn't even have to have a touch screen. it would be a '9000 BRUTE. Please let it happen in my working life time.

 
 
Posted by Connor83 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

did i just miss this spec?

 
 
Posted by Connor83 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

found it. a Qualcomm 1.5GHz processor

 
 
Posted by daumpda Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Biggest problem with the blackberry is the crappy ass processors. Through a 1Ghz in it and I would get another without question. As it stands if I buy a new one (when my contract is up in a few months) it would only upgrade the OS, the hardware would not change much -- that's a #FAIL!

 
 
Posted by tnmurdock Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

That sound you just heard? Was RIM, as they ball up this design (which is AWESOME BTW) and throw it away saying, WE are the professionals here... they don't know hat they want... COME ON....if you build it... oh heck, everyone knows the rest...LOL

What the Dakota/Magnum should have been - a 9000 sized OS 6 1g monster

 
 
Posted by JMDBERRY Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

Admit it,..the specs of this concept is what sets it a part from any current phone. Although I like the layout,...it's still to much yesterday,..as we already had this form factor in the BB 9000. I'd like to see DigitalHomeoy design a concept like this around the form factor of an EVO - inch for inch! Also, since BB has "mastered" the "Touch Screen",...I'd like to see RIM release a competitor that will walk right up to the EVO's face and do a STARE down,...C'mon, I dare you.

Don't get me wrong, I like the 9800,...but I'd like to see a "wider" screen,..that keeps the same screen height.

By having a keyboardless BB,...that is way better than the Storm,...RIM would increase everything about it,...for instant, they could boost the battery capacity by at least 500mAh if not more. This could lead to a minimum of 3 days without hitting the charger.

They could also increase the processor speed,...and get this, how about user defined RAM,..such as, one can install their own micro SD card,...similar to increasing RAM in a PC!

This is what we want/need,...more control!

Now! I do know that my next phone will have a larger screen than my current 9700,...and I'd rather it be a BB.

JMD
...Have Bold Will Travel

Edit: For user defined RAM,...the device would have 1GB of on-board RAM, when one adds say a 4GB micro-SD card to Slot 1, they can select via menu to use said RAM for device operation or storage. The second Slot would be for storage only. Now, if they really want to be "BOLD",...make the second Slot for a true SD card!,...I'm sure that the faster SD 32GB,..64GB cards would fly off the shelves!

Last Edit: Can we pls get a " .Com " button below the "Space Bar",...please,...pretty please! Or at least make it available on the virtual KB.

I love the design. You better get a TM/Copyright on it or RIM will steal it and I'll buy one of them. If it had a slideout keyboard I'd buy one right now!!! I like the Torch but the keyboard should be sliding out from the side not the bottom.

 
 
Posted by vx1 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I like that concept style looking device, looks very cool the thin edges and large screen is where its at for sure, that looks like the next gen bold 9000. I would buy it .. for sure looks like a winning form factor :)

 
 
Posted by lvcorkdork Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Why does everyone need a touch screen? Give me a great hi-res screen paired with the BB keyboard and great OS (and great hardware to support it). If we had all of the above, we wouldn't be talking about iPhone or Android. Would we?

Posted by Maestrodog Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I used to have my dream BlackBerry, it was called the 8830. Unfortunately it had the memory of a brick and I had to move on.

All the new BlackBerries have way too much iSmudge feminine curvature about them--and a knockoff look is always wimpy. I can't stand them for looks, but email functionality is my bottom line, and a few lines above that too.

I don't expect RIM will ever get it, but there's plenty of us who thought the 8830 was the bee's nuts, and we know from the looks we got while using it that there were plenty more where that came from.

Market some models to men too, guys. Right angles. You might be surprised.

 
 
Posted by reno90 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

Posted by cigardj Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I would raise the BB logo on the battery cover.

As stated before, this is the Droid Pro or BB Mangum that never got produced, but BB still does keyboards better then anyone else. I would likely never buy another phone from anyone else if BB released this device. It does everything we enterprise/consumers want a device to do.

People keep saying BB is dead or not relevant; thats false. The consumer market is not meant to be there's; Iphone and Android own that. Business wise, this will keep enterprise users satisfied, because its truly the best of all worlds. Currently, RIM has little to no competition right now since Microsoft and Palm are standing on the side line, but in the coming months they will be back on their heels as will certain Android devices. This device will come to market and blow people out of the water.

I drank the Android Kool-Aid like everyone else, however, my 9700 is still by my side and in heavy-relevant rotation.

 
 
Posted by davestephens21 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

But I think I'd rather have actual feedback keys versus touch sensitive buttons with vibration feedback. Something about the buttons just seems more solid to me. This is a great concept thogh-props for putting in so much effort

 
 
Posted by PTERO Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

HI,
THE TITAN CONCEPT LOOKS LIKE PERFECT, BUT THE REAL PROBLEM OF BBY IS NOT ABOUT THE DESIGN OR BUILDING? THE PROBLEM IS THE WAY RIM IS MARKETING, SELLING AND SUPPORTING CUSTOMERS.

AND THIS IS FAR AWAY FROM PERFECTION EVEN IN DREAM!

 
 
Posted by azscotts Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

- Optimize actual screen size within constraints of the 9000 size. It could be done.
- Keep the talk key where it is for us guys who need to use it as a phone. This concept would require two touches.
- Keep the keyboard as it is on the 9700, but I like the idea of opening the symbols easier.
- Make sure Flash is included.
- Video phone is the next logical step. Why use Skype if we can have it available here? And not just for BB users either. I use Skype to talk to other friends in the USA, Europe and South America.

 
 
Posted by vegeta_2123 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

would never work at that thickness. The top of the phone is to crowded and on a personal note i like the talk and end keys they are truly the quickest and simplest way to make a phone call. You would also have a battery issue on that note, the size this phone would require would not be replaceable.

 
 
Posted by bboros Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I would buy the Titan in a heartbeat. It's exactly the sort of phone RIM should be building - and without skimping on the memory or battery life.

 
 
Posted by zorawar Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

great job buddy..... the phone may have to be a little thicker to maintain good battery life.... a thicker phone also adds points to the grip but yeah the concept is a 10+

hope rim is reading this..........

 
 
Posted by goulav Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

the headset jack does need to be on top and the charge port on bottom... i work in the industry and have access to a lot of phones and hate them being on the side. an accelerometer and compass would be nice. touch screen is nice for photos and web (zooming in and out)... other than that, i hope rim does something like this...

As a Bold 9000 guy, this is the BB I am seeking. Only one change to the design; put the original Bold 9000 keyboard size/shape of keys on this and it is a home run. Love it, and that is some tremendous work, very well done.

Posted by lastres_c Friday, Oct 08, 2010 594 days ago

I would move the Blackberry logo of the front, to the buttom. And place the front camera right in the middle so it doesn't get in the way of the speakers. Aldo, I would add a mini HDMI output so I can watch HD downloads on my TV.

But, I guess no phone can have everything.

One more thing: I'd put the send/end buttons back.

Posted by indymeh Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

sign me up for one... i agree with putting the charging and headphone ports on the bottom and top and maybe a mini HDMI out. Also would do a bold 9700 keyboard with send and end keys. Everything else is awesome like the two convenience keys on the left side and two LED's. I would buy it as is though...

 
 
Posted by chosen1_88 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

Design-wise, I generally like the phone. I think for many BB users, the combination of the Droid Pro and Blackberry 9000 would be an idea match: A large touchscreen with physical keybaord in a bar form factor with the ability to use traditional BB navigation (i.e. trackpad). However, I would prefer dedicated send/end keys like more BB's. It's a nice and easy way to access your dialer or close an app.

However, the specs, while desirable, feel like it's too science-fiction. Yes, having a high res-screen with a 1 GHz processor is certainly nice, but cramming that into a device that 12mm thick and expecting it to be able to go 17 days on standby on 3G with a user replaceable battery seems a little unrealistic at this point in time. I recognize that it is only a concept, and while it is fine to dream, let's not get carried away and expect this to be built right now. Even if the technology were there to build this as spec'd, it'd probably be pretty expensive and thus unfeasible for general market consumption.

Posted by LoKais Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

The biggest possible QWERTY keyboard is what BB users hunger...for typists who do not look at what they're typing. With the push to not text and drive, this helps you to not take your eyes off what you're doing. Maybe making each letter more "tactile" or cone-shaped would be a plus. The new CAP/NUM lock feature is good. The "physical" keyboard and the screen size are what keep me from going to the competition. The add'l convenience keys are great and the front AND back cams are nice too. Getting rid of the talk/end key is a good deletion. The add'l LED is a great feature to customize for various calls/contacts/etc, and it's nice to have an added speaker. The SmartSense software is what will be the clincher in the future of sales now that the device features are nearing perfection. Love my new Torch, but will try the new Titan when it becomes available. :-)

 
 
Posted by dennisgeorge66 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

Simply shift the keyboard to maximize the screen. Make it a touch screen and a track pad and bingo! Make that!

 
 
Posted by ExpressJTS Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

Posted by Boldcelsior Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

I really like this design. Bringing back the Bold 9000 form factor with all new specs is the answer RIM has been waiting for. I don't know why they won't start producing a phone like this.

This would be a no-brainer purchase for me. I've been holding back from purchasing the 9800 because I'm not in love with the slider. My only concern with this Titan concept is also the keyboard. That doesn't look anything like any Blackberry I've ever used. I can't imagine it being better than the Bold keyboard. I'd get it despite that though!!

I would like something that's a hybrid between the Torch and a Sidekick. I want a touchscreen phone (Torch) but has a keyboard that comes out from the side instead of the bottom of the phone. I think it would have a better feel when the keyboard slides out. The camera would have a 10x min. MP. I would want direct connect and 3 more convenience buttons. The internal memory would be a couple of gigs (non of this stupid 512 MB.) I want apps and games galore. I'm sure RIM will get it and make the BB more like an Iphone without violating any TM rules.....

Put a call, and call end button like how the rest are, make the qwerty board actual keys (not touch sensitive), and make the screen a touch screen -> that would be my dream phone.

I'm sorry but if you want that you can go buy a TREO!!!

If RIM build it, then I would buy it.

 
 
Posted by LoverFace Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

This would be THE most perfect BB ever. If it actually lived up to everything that is mentioned, I think it'd be unstoppable

 
 
Posted by iChace Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

My dream BB would be similar with similar specs (with the front facing cam being 5mp instead of three). But I would prefer a touch sensitive qwerty (always thought that would be cool to see on a bb). The letter lighting could be colored customly (i'd go blue). The screen would also have some touch sensitivity like the Titan Concept. that's about it...and of course innovative specs

I like it, but I always want send/end keys....part of what makes a Blackberry a Blackberry is that. Also, make the touchscreen have the ability to be disabled by holding down the trackpad, toggle from there like the # key for ring/vibrate.

As many have said, 9000 width/keyboard and KEEP the leather backing, it's a great non-slip thing. And a massive battery, weight isn't really a concern, but with touchscreen being added, you need more battery for more battery life.

 
 
Posted by AliensWanted Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

Keep them but they should be thinner top to bottom, no need to make them so tall. ALWAYS keep those as hard keys, never soft keys.

 
 
Posted by rashad09 Friday, Oct 08, 2010 593 days ago

I swear I had the exact same Idea in mind touch sensitive keys, dual camera, Dual flash, LED's and all, I sketched it out and its in my sketch folder. except mine wasn't as large guess I was thinking more of a Curve update.

You would think the person designing this would put "Weight" instead of "depth".......

 

Amd two "Left" speakers?

 
 
Posted by IBCREAM Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

This is ah no brainner for RIM. If there has been anytime to be proactive the time is now. This phone is on point. This is a winner down to the comparable screen of the 9000. Im digging this 200%

 
 
Posted by iksimkd Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

If this was only possible! It would be the kick ass BlackBerry of all times! And i would definitely get it!

 
 
Posted by jen71 Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

My "dream specs" have always included 2 microSD slots. With the onboard ROM, I don't think a second slot is needed. However, I would like to see support for micro SDXC. Maybe that would be a firmware update?

I'm very happy with my 9650 and OS 6, but a little bump in specs never hurt.

 
 
Posted by stardotstar Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

I would rather have a larger unit with usable screen for us older guys with failing close up vision.

 
 
Posted by barbarianthemadserb Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

Sign me up now. I want one asap. It would be an awsome upgrade from bb9700!!

 
 
Posted by Ollin Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

I really like it, but it would be nice that it could have also the OS6, that apps could run from the sd card and that we could get fun cool apps in our phones for reasonable prices

 
 
Posted by Ollin Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

That there would be a right ALT button for the numbers

 
 
Posted by rwclaw Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

cool design. well emm

 
 
Posted by rocker2224 Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

i love this design!! touch screen without having to slide ne thing. GREAT! love how its so thin and has dual camera. hope this goes into production soon and ATT will carry it!

MAKE IT HAPPEN RIM!

Il be first in line to buy :) Best BB so far.

 
 
Posted by RedBank Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

I wonder what the Apollo & Atlas concepts he has lined up will look like.

And like JMDBERRY said...we need a .com button for cryin out loud.

 
 
Posted by experiment626 Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 593 days ago

Why is it that RIM seems to hate everything about the 9000? They've "refreshed" or tried to refresh everything from the Storm to the 85xx Curves and they refuse to admit there is a market for people who liked the 9000 series Bold.Smaller is not better! It would be so easy to update the 9000.The biggest challenge being the FF camera but if HTC & Apple can do it so can RIM.

 
 
Posted by deRusett Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 592 days ago

So because I have toyed with ideas from time to time as to what I want to see I started looking at this Titan a little bit more
____________
Size

Height: 4.48in / 114mm
Width: 2.6in / 66mm
Depth: 0.47in / 12mm
Weight: 4.19 ounces / 119 grams

Screen

TFT Capacitive touchscreen LCD (LED Backlighting support)
3.2×3.2 inch High-resolution 480×640 pixels colour display
___________

if the device is 2.6" wide, HOW is the screen 3.2" wide??

NEXT
the Bold 9000 specs
4.48in/114mm
2.6in/66mm
0.59in/15mm
4.8oz/136g

this device is the same form factor as the 9000 except 20% thinner, so you expect to cram waaay more into this device with 20% less volume, I can't see it.

Great job with the start, but seriously 3 months? that must have been all artistic work. which I must give credit for, as I can't do it

 
 
Posted by tkd-bb-III Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 592 days ago

As soon as the Torch was released I started thinking along the lines of the TK1. It would be amazing. eliminating the slide function and and still maintaining the brilliant touchscreen.. I would buy in a hear tbeat

 
 
Posted by Ekilla Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 592 days ago

RIM, make it & ill buy it.

I have tried the 9700 and am trying the 9800 right now, but still love the form factor of the 9000 the best. Love the screen, and especially the keyboard. I would love for RIM to make a true 9000 sized replacement, with trackpad and snapdragon processor and 512 mb RAM at least! Throw in OS 6.0 and I am happy. Anyone else want one of these?

This is the ideal BB - IMO. I went as far as sending RIM emails but I don't think they're reading them :-)

 
 
Posted by AKSoni Saturday, Oct 09, 2010 592 days ago

RIM has to come out of the box. MY dream BB would have
4.5" touch all capacity screen.
1.5 Mhz fast processor,
16-32 GB memory on board, expansion slot for 64-128 GB
QNX, webkit, BBM ofcourse, BB email system,
8 MB camera, and 5 MB front end camera,
3 conv. keys
Quad band world phone, VZ carrier
Rest is fluff!

 
 
Posted by Rootbrian Sunday, Oct 10, 2010 592 days ago

Now that would be a biggy, booting a fully-functional desktop linux off it, the SD card that is, and being able to use it aside from BBOS and QNX.

 
 
Posted by dwaynewilliams Sunday, Oct 10, 2010 592 days ago

The 9000 is the perfect device for me. I don't really care to have a touchscreen/keyboard combination. If they made the 9000 with more application memory and a 5 MP camera, that would be all I needed.

 
 
Posted by serversurfer Sunday, Oct 10, 2010 592 days ago

...When it ask me, if I would marry it/her/him, I will say "Yes, I do"...and from now on my Surname will be 'Titan'... Great concept!!!!! 1000% match!!!!:-)

 
 
Posted by jsciiijd Sunday, Oct 10, 2010 592 days ago

Smaller isn't better. More functional is better. I'd build a thicker Playbook to accommodate the features I want. Of course, it should be in red like a Swiss army knife with the traditional cross somewhere on the case.

1. From the time the power switch is pushed until the time the phone will dial 911 should be less than 2 sec. The rest of the features can continue booting in the background in order of how important they are to have in a hurry.

2. Detachable bluetooth headset that recharges from the phone. (So you don't have to hold the slab up to your ear.)

3. If necessary for the best reception, pull out antennas so that it would be the undisputed world leader in connecting and staying connected (and the best data rates.)

4. Detachable GPS receiver so it could be positioned for the best reception while the pad remained where it was eaiest to view.

5. Real camera optics with a motorized physical zoom lense.

6. Perhaps a couple of docking bays for added optional features, like infrared for directly replacing remote controls, automobile remote control emulation, BP and heart-rate monitoring, fingerprint security, smart credit card that can be reprogrammed to be whichever one of your cards you need at the moment.

By the way, if I were QNX, my first goal would be to copy or incorporate all the neat Google integration features that Google is able to give to Android phones.

You start with twice the life, and then, if you get low, you can replace them one at a time without rebooting.

And, perhaps a slot for a removable laptop disk drive.

Dream phone for me: Blackberry Torch with Android and front facing camera.

 
 
Posted by filmusikat Sunday, Oct 10, 2010 592 days ago

I thought this was real ! I got so excited and was actually going to wait for this instead of the Torch. I hope RIM looks at this and considers this or something like it? But this one is perfect! We can only hope...

woww that looks so good . thats something along the lines of my dream bb :P

 
 
Posted by srlaw Monday, Oct 11, 2010 591 days ago

This is a super concept device! RIM should hire Guy Bridges and pay him a good sum of money to put this concept into Reality! Obvious all of the hardware manufacturers are interested in doling out dribs and drabs of improvements to their customers for technology they have locked away in their vaults.

Kudos for the Concept!

 
 
Posted by jginel Monday, Oct 11, 2010 590 days ago

Are you RIM?

Motorola Droid Pro - if this takes off, RIM loses.

I and others have emailed them incessantly for a device similar to this at "bbsuggestions..." and apparently, RIM must have forwarded the numerous emails to Motorola.

 
 
Posted by HandsomePrince Tuesday, Oct 12, 2010 590 days ago

Here's something funny.

What people consider the "Dream" Blackberry..already exists in the form of SO MANY other phones that are not only out on the market now; but that have been out for a while now.

RIM is way behind.

 
 
Posted by shemaree09 Thursday, Oct 14, 2010 587 days ago

This phone would be awesome, the perfect cross of touchscreen and Blackberry without having that "awkward phone hold" that most touchscreens have.

RIM PLEASE TAKE NOTES!!!!

 
 
Posted by austriker Wednesday, Jan 18, 2012 126 days ago

I would absolutely sell my 9900 which I love dearly and buy this. Reminds me of the palms which had good form but crappy OS and build quality. BB generally does have good build quality. This phone is awesome!! RIM needs to step up their game. If the 9900 would have been released to market about 1-2 years ago (before it was outdated) they would be doing fine and their stock wouldnt be nearing penny stock level
