BlackBerry’s Android-powered Venice phone surfaces in the wild
BlackBerry’s Android-based Venice smartphone isn’t just a figment of someone’s imagination… at least, if you believe Vietnamese resident Ba Minh Duc. He claims to have photos of the slider in action, complete with its hideaway QWERTY keyboard, 18-megapixel camera and curvy screen. This isn’t quite the phone you remember from 3D renders (or the once-teased BlackBerry 10 version), though. BlackBerry appears to have moved the power button to the side, and the body isn’t as slender in person as the renders would suggest. This is undoubtedly a work in progress, and it won’t be surprising if the Venice design changes more between now and release. Still, this is exciting stuff if you’ve been yearning for a phone that melds BlackBerry’s hardware and services with Android’s customization and wider app selection.
