Blackberry's "iPhone-killer" leaks

BusinessInsider is claiming to have seen the rarest of devices: new BlackBerries intended to take on Apple and Google head-to-head. Images of the new BlackBerry 10 gizmo leaked from Vietnamese site Tinh Te at the end of 2012. BI's photos, which show purported BlackBerry devices from AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) side by side with an iPhone 5, depict a super-sleek gadget that looks like the offspring of a Samsung Galaxy and Apple's (AAPL) phone. RIM is expected to formally take the wraps off the new device as well as the BlackBerry 10 operating system on January 30. BI's tipster notes that the build quality of the phone is very high and that it has features that are likely to appeal to traditional BlackBerry customers, including the ability to use the phone in separate modes for work or personal use. It reportedly only takes one minute to boot. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/01/04/blackberrys-iphone-killer-leaks/
