RIM offers a taste of BB10 phone with first official teaser

BlackBerry 10 is a wholly new smartphone

RIM is on the final push before the launch of BlackBerry 10, with the company posting its first official teaser photo of the new hardware.

The photo doesn't show much, revealing the back of a slab phone with textured material and a camera lens in the corner.

The textured material is certainly something new, looking like an almost mesh design for a comfortable grip.

It is speculated that the device in the official teaser is the frequently-leaked BlackBerry L-Series. However, leaked images of the L-Series showed a flat back without any texture, though that feature could have easily changed between the prototype and final handset models.

The long wait for BB10

The BlackBerry L-Series can't seem to keep away from cameras, with leaked images appearing across the web all last month.

RIM has been quiet on exactly which BB10 handsets will launch early next year, though it is known that there will be at least one fully-touchscreen device and another with the signature BlackBerry physical keyboard.

The L-Series is the former, while any QWERTY BB10 device still remains a mystery.

RIM has scheduled a January 30 event to mark the long-delayed BlackBerry 10 launch. The Canadian firm has its work cut out for it holding interest with these gradual teasers until then, especially with the shiny new handsets sure to be on display at CES 2013 earlier in the month.
