With the leaks and certifications piling up, it was only a matter of time before BlackBerry Mobile took steps to announce their next device and hinted by save the date invites sent out, we could see the BlackBerry KEY2 LE get announced on August 30 at IFA Berlin.
As expected, the invite doesn't explicitly state anything about the KEY2 LE, but it's pretty safe to assume at this point. Earlier leaks highlighted some of the specs of the KEY2 LE and highlighted some possible color variants (red, blue and copper) but of course, that all remains unofficial.

Pricing and availability for the KEY2 LE also remain a mystery, though, some retailers have already begun listing the device in Canada. In any case, seems we won't have to wait much longer for all the details. Personally, I'm hoping that red version looks sweet!
