Next week BlackBerry Jam will start in Orlando and it will gather all developers and BB OS enthusiasts. Also, developers will be lucky enough to receive a special developer phone like the one pictured below. What you see here is the BlackBerry 10 Developer Alpha device that people at BB Jam will get.
There will be a lot of talk about the BB 10 OS, apps and the compatibility with Android applications. The CrackBerry forums are the source of these leaks, mainly Crackberry member Trippin. This is an early development device, an alpha unit that won’t ever go on sale. BlackBerry World is just days away and rumors said previously that RIM internal development phones are supposed to look like Mini PlayBooks, which is not the case here. BlackBerry Dev Alpha is also rumored to be the BlackBerry Colt model, that’s been speculated on in the past.
The good thing about this prototype is that RIM may take it into account when launching their next Bold/Curve/Torch model. We’re certainly waiting to see what they can do in the full touch dual core/quad core area, if they really intend to evolve on the smartphone market…
