BlackBerry Orlando leaks out: say hello to the touchscreen Curve

As though we would have liked from now on signs of where Research in Motion was heading when it comes to its 2011 device line, we’ve just caught wind of another touchscreen-equipped Berry. The BlackBerry “Orlando” is imagined to be a variation of the Curve with touch capabilities, already being described as a mini Bold Touch . This needless to say begs the question of why exactly RIM has such a lot of different devices planned, especially when the spec differences are so minor. We would like the corporate would deviate from this approach it has trusted for years, however it looks more enthusiastic about its tablet strategy than it’s on pushing the envelope with phones. Additionally, it could actually just mean that BB6 could possibly be sticking around for it slow and that RIM wants its users to get acclimated, or maybe that it would take a touch longer than we predict for QNX to trickle down from the PlayBook .
