It's been a few months now since we've seen the BlackBerry Kopi, but today some more images have surfaced with another look at the unreleased device. We still don't know very much about this one, though it's said to have a removable battery and a faster processor than the BlackBerry Q5. Obviously it's got a physical keyboard as well, so it would join the ranks of the Q5 and Q10 should it ever see the light of day.
No word on when or even if the Kopi will ever be released, so for now just speculate at will as to what will happen with this little guy :)

BlackBerry Kopi caught on camera once again
It would be a great idea to have a Q5 style smartphone with a removable battery, faster processor and bigger screen. Yes. Bring out the BlackBerry Kopi to market!!!

Looks like another Q5 lookalike. I hope this one doesn't see the light of day. We need a Q10 successor.
I like the more square look like this one
We need a PlayBook 2 with an octacore processor.

Why that name?

It's cute, that's for sure. Might even be for emerging markets OR for development only.

What's wrong with the Q5?
But idk bout this one, if it had 2 convenience keys then I would replace my 9900 but not my Q10.

Looks a lot like the q 5

How about a a z10 successor with a larger battery, keep the ips screen(not a fan of amoled), snapdragon 800, 2 or 3 gigs of ram and a better camera. That's a perfect phone in my eyes.

This is what the case for the Q5 should have been. IMHO, the Q5 looks unfinished (especially in Black).
Yep. It's going to happen.
Get ready for the Q3 folks....
It seems like the device that we used to have years ago! But I would not mind if its battery life is extraordinary.. For example, a weekday battery life with its capabilities of being able to use Wi-Fi as well as 4G network in weekdays period!!! And even if it is as thick as 10mm and as large as a 5 inch size.. I will buy it for sure! and even after the weekdays time, the battery need to be charge for 5 hours, I would just be fine with it! Cheers!

what game is on it's screen?
Looks like a Q5 prototype to me. We don't need this

I wouldn't mind seeing a bigger screened Q10.

Stick to a max of 3 phones and do it well. At some point all these phones do is drag down the brand.. They have way to many phones with keyboards as it is. It looks like desperation to find some model that can get sales.
Bring out the blade. The best slider concept ever

That's not a phone, that's just a housing for a phone
Looks like a Pantech Slate.

It looks like another Q5.

Not a good looking phone at all. Looks like it belongs in 2003.

Need a Q30 device that has a 16:10 aspect ration.1:1 is a lame experience and the screen is too small.

Leave Kopi's little ass in the back corner of the warehouse... as a matter a fact, leave the whole line of the in the building that's being sold down in Texas. not on the side we will be leasing out either!

You may be right. In starting to miss the kekboard.

I disagree entirely with the people saying we have enough keyboard phones. There won't be enough keyboard phones until they stop making the ones without them. Touch screens, even good ones, are a horrible technological mistake that has become a fad that we will, thankfully, eventually outgrow.
Having to touch the very thing you are supposed to be seeing is like poking yourself in the eye to change the channels on your TV. Until voice, gestures, or eye tracking finally shows the general population how horrid this little touch road bump has been, bring on the keyboards.
Posted via CB10
I like the way you think. I remember debating with a fellow that said "why would I want to cover half my device with a keyboard?". My response was "why would I want a device you have to slime up with your fingers".

Q10, z10, z30
Thats what they need to improve as successors.
Posted via CB10
It's a nice looking device and at the right price, I'd have one
I think it could be a good phone for the prepaid carriers in the US (Boost, Virgin USA, etc.). The only issue is it needs to be seriously inexpensive. The whole reason I bought my first BlackBerry is because it was only $100 without a contract, and that was when the cheapest Android phone on the same carrier was $125. Other than being dog slow, my 8520 was a good phone!

Have a look ^_^
For those who are wishing for a slider, let me asking who are they for?
For Crackberry customer base only? BlackBerry is not going to survive and grow with that mentality.
BlackBerry is a ship that is listing not sunk, but if don't get rid of the stuff that is causing it to sink then it will be.
Mr Chen has to speak to the employees; current and previous.
They will tell you what happened in the past.
Lack of support for BlackBerry 10, stale hardware design, poor quality execution, unexciting OS.
Start listening Mr Chen, your reputation is on the line as well as BlackBerry
Posted via CB10
Hopefully it will go in the bin if it hasn't already. It's even uglier than the Q5, and I think the whole batch of Q5s should be dumped in a deep ocean trench. How they managed to build the Z10/Q10, which are beautiful, and then the awful Q5 is beyond me.

That phone looks like it's a one of the many fakes in the 90s.
You turn up devises looking like that in 2014 BlackBerry will actually fail as many critics would love to see.
Posted via CB10
I don't know but It's looks not as pretty, modern and premium as the Q10 and maybe Q5.
God Bless You!

Shockingly ugly.
Posted via CB10
Kopi. Where you getting these names.
Posted via CB10
I believe it's another Indonesian name.
If BlackBerry can offer this cheaply ala Foxconn, why not? There are markets other than the "all important" NA which may like this. It's obvious there is minimal overhead at this point with R&D seemingly already completed for this device so I see no harm in releasing it for the appropriate markets if BlackBerry can make money on these devices.
Release, name it Q3 side by side with Z3.
Will sell, if price point is acceptable.
"No Q10?" -> "Buy from Chen... "
Just look at HTC, they are in no better shape financially than BlackBerry - in some way worse but they still produce quality devices.
The microscope should be put on the design team - it needs fresh ideas and input. They have had it much too easy of late. Time to get radical NOW.!!! Tomorrow is too late!!!
Alot of people have produced mock ups of future BlackBerry devices. Start looking at these.
Let The Astonishing Tribe get crazy with the OS and the Design of BlackBerry.
If I was the CEO I would be setting this challenge ;' create me a touchscreen screen device that is going to be future proof.

When I see a leak of a 4 Inch + display Physical Qwerty keypad phablet handset, then I will be excited. This is just some branch off the Q5 family which didn't do well because of ridiculous pricing.
However, the Q20 was a necessary correction to past mistakes.
Posted via CB10
Looks better than Q5
Since 2010
As it has been said, we need a new z10 sized high end device with a premium finish!!
Posted via CB10
Agreed. The Z30 in the size of the Z10. USB otg, better speakers, larger battery, miracast, bring it on.
Yep. Z10 screen was great, just needed to be less...pack of cards like.
Posted via CB10
I would like to say it is a nice device but it isn't
Posted via CB10
This phone looks so ordinary. I'm very glad they scratched it off.
Sell it cheaper, name it Q3.
"No Q10?" -> "Buy from Chen... "
@wincut. Totally agree!!
Posted via CB10
There r so many concept BlackBerry phones on the net with physical keyboards and 100 times better looking than that piece of plastic sh#t. Why on earth does BlackBerry not look into these great concepts, instead of producing cheap products and sinking their feet even deeper in mud?
Posted via CB10
Nice, I own the Q5 and it's an awesome device but sometimes I wanted to have removable Battery. This one should do the job.
Posted via CB10
This is one ugly device. Also, there are enough keyboard phones around.

I have to agree with Anthony Roberts 5 we have seen enough of Keyboard devices.
The market has spoken. Touchscreen is king at the moment.
The Q20 and other incarnations of it should be enough.
We have yet to see a successor to the PlayBook or Z10 and Z30 to beat the competition . This has to be competitively priced.
BlackBerry doesn't have to make tons of devices . Just don't compromise on quality
We have seen too many wasted opportunities to improve devices and have failed in its execution. ENOUGH!!!
Posted via CB10
Thanks we really need a slider form factor soon tons of people are waiting for a torch bb10 device this needs to happen.

Buy that. Sign me up.
"No Q10?" -> "Buy from Chen... "
Hey Prem :). TGIF!!!!!
Posted via CB10
Well said rickster2611, I agree with you completely.... too many missed opportunities
While I prefer my Q10 over the Z10 and Z30 I would love to have more screen real estate and a track pad
Posted via CB10
It's coming, oil, and it will be called Q20 or Q30....my 9900 will be updated to it as well
9900 lovers miss the track pad on Q10 - Chen is listening.
CB10 from the Z30
But it looks like the screen is going to be a giant square... The bb dev blog states tha the Q20 will be immediately compatible with all Q10 apps, which implies the screen aspect ratio will be the same (1:1). Even if it has better resolution, a big square screen will make it a terrible looking device.
If they do this, it will be an enourmous mistake IMO.
Without a radical revamp of the BlackBerry 10 OS, folks who miss track pads from blackberry 7 and older will NOT embrace the Q30-20 or whatever they decide to call it. The track pad alone, while does have the visual means to turn a few heads, will not capture the power users with current BB10 OS config.
What people long for is the responsiveness and keyboard shortcuts for virtually every function of the BB7 OS. Honestly, if my Bold 9900 was equipped with stock BB10 browser power running on BB7, I would still be using it. BB7 is by far the better OS for work purposes.
BlackBerry Q10
To be honest, when I switched from my 9850 to my Z10 last April, I saw no difference in browser power or speed from BB7 and BB10. In fact, at the time, I still preferred the BB7 browser because it actually seemed more robust to me.
BlackBerry seriously needs to find a design language that's new, refreshing and consistent for their line-up. They're starting to fragment their designs from one keyboard phone to the other.
Totally agree!!!!
Very true...they need to carry a slider form factor now for a a successor to the z10
Posted via CB10
I had a Bold 9800.... I think that, between, the 9800 and 9801. - those slider phones sold more than any individual BB10 phone...
Is that possible?
CB10 from the Z30
Their qwerty keyboard phones have been fragmented for quite a while between Bold and Curve lines.
I totaly agree. The Z30 has the best BB10 design so far - this is a possible starting point.
I do love my '30, but miss the battery cover material of my '10. I could lean the '10 against anything and it wouldn't slide down.

And fragmentation is what got them into the mess their in IMO.

Good looking Q5 update.
Q5 is a little on the cheap side in terms of looks.

So is this...
It's VERY much on the cheap side... maybe it could be a dev device but that looks like a cheap toy :/

Yup and a successor to the z10.
I think they should make a newer z10 version but with the design and feel of the z30!
Posted via CB10 with my Z30
They should make a successor to the z10 with a slider....quad core....3 GB ram...4-4.2 inches....720p...we don't need 1080p for that screen size.....amoled.....13mp camera......16/32/64gb variants.....:)

Ant....good ideas. I, actually, think that the successor to the Z30 should be a 4.65 inch screen - like my old Galaxy S3...
They have sold an awful lot of phones with that form factor and BlackBerry should follow suit.
CB10 from the Z30
Leave my 5" screen alone you

That's can't revert the screen size they need to keep the 5inch series alive. Going backwards in screen size will not make sense. 5 inch is perfect and have 4.2 for the slider or or successor to the z10
Posted via CB10
@Anthony Roberts5- I agree with you. Can't go back down in screen size, have to go up a little bit.
Posted via CB10
I could go for a better set of speakers on the Z10 with more power to them as well. But everything else you mentioned is on target.
@Steven Bolen- Better speakers and more power for the Z10's successor would be great. It's very hard to hear in a room with even a little ambient noise.
Posted via CB10
I have to say...my feelings say that the public will laugh at a slider phone...looks out if touch, even though it shouldn't be seen that way. It sounds like the kind of idea that an old guy would have.

There is no reason BB can't come up with a Z10A - same size & form factor with improvements to processor, memory, storage, and camera. Some folks like smaller phones - 4.2 is as small as it should get.
Jump to 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. No variants because that didn't work well with the PlayBook. Make it expandable but have 32 GB storage as the new baseline.
Variants in storage space that's all its needed you have to give customer options and it affect price
Posted via CB10
I don't think BlackBerry customers are so similar to apple customers that they are going to pay an extra 100$ for memory that costs 10$. Maybe I'm wrong though

You tend to forget that you cannot install apps and games on SD cards. For me having more internal storage matter I have 16gb and I game a lot and can't even install half the games I bought. Unless blackberry OS has the ability to install apps and games (more so games because I know for security they won't do apps and app size are small) we need more internal storage :). I hope next OS they give the ability to install games on SD cards
Posted via CB10
I never said they should leave the internal memory at 16 gigs, just that people probably won't pay hundreds of dollars for extra memory. I agree on board storage should get a bump
Buy a bb, get a droid for free
Agreed, and let's have a touch of proper brushed metal (à la 9900) instead of what they served up on the Z30.
Z10 STL100-1 (10.2.1.2102) and PlayBook (2.1.0.1753)
Z10s.....and charge alot more for it with not much improvement.
Seems I heard this form somewhere else ????
This guy gets it!! The Z10 is an excellent form factor! Just keep the chassis [and name!] and upgrade the screen (from LCD to AMOLED) and guts (more memory, faster processor, more dense battery.)
I agree, we already have enough keyboard phones.
I'd love to see a new Z10 on steroids.
Yep

couldn't have said it better myself!
