This has me interested and I like the stock Android OS skkn but with the best of bb elements in there

Will definitely consider this...always liked BlackBerry for durability and quality and their functions like bb hub and now with Android app support

There's always the on screen keyboard.

Anyway I don't see how this would give anyone cramps. After all this has more estate in the keyboard part than a passport and I don't get cramp from it.

Most keyboards, like the one on my G4, take up a little less that half the screen, making the experience comfortable. The keyboard on this BlackBerry is so low and the keys look so tiny that I can see people getting hand cramps from using the dang thing. Just seems like the top end would be a bit to heavy when typing, but we will see.

I wonder how the hub will function or if it will be the same as BB10. IMO the hub is blackberrys best feature. Not a huge fan of android myself. I hate Google intrusiveness as well.

I'm sure they will bring an all slate phone in a few months. A lot of the hardcore BB fans still wan their keyboard. The slider has always been a compromise imo but perhaps they've figured out the correct amount of balance.

The HUB is key for me as I hate the set up for mail and messages on Android. If they can build a HUB like my Z30 has on this phone I am likely going to buy.

I love my Blackberry mail and messaging but the app selection is not great and some Android apps don't work well. This phone could have it all.

5.4-inch display with 2560-by-1440 resolution
1.8Ghz Snapdragon 808 processor
3GB of RAM
18 megapixel rear-facing camera
5MP camera in the front
MicroSD Slot

Hope it can quick swap battery too but may be dreaming.

Don't forget to include that the physical keypad is also a touch scroll pad

BB needs more than a handful of people that still like the original BB. An Android device with a proper security could go a long way, especially if it works a little different than normal Android devices (Hub, keyboard, better security). BB might be a little late to the security game for Android but hopefully not. I know my company uses Airwatch to manage our Android devices which works fairly decent. Pretty much useless on Apple devices though which makes them nearly impossible to manage for a corporation.
