BlackBerry 10 QWERTY phone captured in blurry leaked photo

We might be patiently waiting for the official announcement of BlackBerry 10 on the 30 January, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying more leaks from Research In Motion, this time a blurry picture of the rumoured QWERTY keyboard model.

The new phone, which RIM has officially previously confirmed to be launching in the first half of 2013, looks, if the image is correct, like the current BlackBerry Bold, however with a straight keyboard, a square touchscreen display. It also looks to have lost the hard shortcut keys above the keyboard too.

The picture will give hope to BB users keen to not lose their keyboard and show that RIM is serious about servicing their needs.

RIM has said that it will be launching BlackBerry 10, its new operating system, on the 30 January in a number of events around the globe. Pocket-lint will be London event covering all the news as it happens.

We will keep you posted.
