RIM to Release BlackBerry Superphone Soon

If you thought that only handsets running under Google's Android operating system could be called superphones, you were wrong.

Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion is reportedly gearing up for the release of a superphone of its own, some of the latest rumors on the Internet suggest.

The company should soon bring to shelves a BlackBerry device that would easily stand in line with some of the high-end phones on shelves today, including those running under Android.

Based on QNX, the said device should arrive on shelves with a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display into the mix, capable of delivering a 900+ resolution (most probably 960 × 540 pixels, a qHD resolution).

The upcoming mobile phone might arrive on the market either with a 1.2GHz application processor inside, the same single core that was packed with the recently released Bold 9900, or with a dual-core CPU, the same as the BlackBerry PlayBook.

For the time being, no specific info on when would the mobile phone arrive on the market has emerged, but chances are that it might be released during the next several months, as RIM will try to catch up with competitors.

Apparently, to focus its resources on the building of this handset, the company decided to cancel the development of a successor for the PlayBook, one that would include a 10-inch touchscreen display.

Nothing is officially confirmed on the matter for the time being, but, since this is not the first time we learn of the possible delivery of such a BlackBerry smartphone, chances are that it might all pan out soon.

Previously, RIM suggested that they were working on the porting of QNX on smartphones, and a company's official even noted that dual-core smartphones were taken into consideration.

Hopefully, Research In Motion will manage to deliver the said device sooner rather than later, so that they could once again prove competitive at the high-end of the market.
