The rumors continue about the BlackBerry Venice. This time around we have a render of what is said to be BlackBerry's upcoming slider phone, running a full version of Android. Recently it was rumored that this device would be headed to AT&T, which wouldn't be much of a surprise. Taking a look at the render in comparison to the images shown off on stage at Mobile World Congress, they do look rather similar.
Of course, all of this is speculative, and it could just be a really good fan render. Either way, two things keep coming up together quite often. BlackBerry Venice. Android. Could it really be coming? Only time will tell.
