Being a Canadian, I mildly support RIM.

At least they kept the physical keyboard (up until now).

And even if you dislike them, they are different in both good and bad ways, and there is nothing wrong with competition.

Now, RIM, seems to be doing a better job listening to Nokia fans, than Nokia. They took QT, they took the Swipe.

And now, as a final troll, the N-Series monicker.

N-Series... Given RIMs current business problems, that is very apt.

come on RIM I'm waiting for a BB10 OS qwerty device.
An N900 successor? At least I can dream.

I hope you guys deliver!

bb10 + qwerty = win (?)

I think using the name "N-series" would be insanely stupid in any market where Nokia was big (= not the US and Canada).
RIM only has chance to gain market share if it can provide an innovative new experience. Using a name strongly associated with previous (and old) products from a competitor sends the opposite message.
A very bad idea imho.

It might just be a working name, or a code name. It doesn't mean they'll go with it. But I agree.

It seems that the Keyboard version will be the N-Series and the All touchscreen will be the L-Series.

That's fine either way.

But it seems like the screens will be at least really nice, with pixel densities above "shudder" retina.

Although, of course, rumours and the like.

And the ad does appear to be a Nokia style. I wonder if there was talks between Nokia and RIM before Microsoft happened?

(Highly doubtful, they just liked the way Qt looked and rolled with it)

Hey guys, check out my Blackberry running Maemo7!

If they deliver device similar in hackability to N900, they have my blessing. They can ever take Nokia name, it isn't used anymore in any real thing

First Nokia get "Smoked" by Windows and now they're getting a "Rim" job.
Anyone else see a pattern forming here?
