Smartphone BlackBerry Milan: the first image

Company Research In Motion (RIM), apparently decided to release a new smartphone in the form factor of the vertical slider. The device is called the BlackBerry Milan - his first picture published a web site CrackBerry. Most likely, this item - the code, and the sale of the unit will come under a different name. The smartphone is running BlackBerry OS 10 (former BBX, renamed by the court), it features a large touchscreen, a slide down QWERTY and has no buttons below the screen. Interestingly, the lack of buttons under the display reminiscent of an operating system like Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich - it is optimized for smartphones and tablets, so the hardware buttons on the front panel for devices based on it are not necessary. But the BlackBerry 10 should be the same principle - it will work as smart phones and tablets RIM, therefore, under the display and can be nothing at all. BlackBerry Milan edition is expected in 2012, perhaps the announcement will take place at shows early next year.
