BlackBerry Curve Touch Revealed, Could Lack Physical Keyboard

Research in Motion could be planning to make a radical change to its long-running Curve series -- an upcoming model will reportedly forgo a keyboard and instead be designed around a touchscreen.

An image and some of the specifications for the BlackBerry Curve Touch have appeared on the Web. If these are not a hoax, they give the world its first glimpse of a new strategy from RIM to produce consumer-oriented touchscreen-only models.

The long-running Curve series has sold by the million, and over the years has been through a number of redesigns. But whatever the details, every Curve model has a physical keyboard.

This won't be true if the Curve Touch is released, as it's reportedly going to happen late this year or early next year.

Blackberry Curve Touch Gets Leaked

The Blackberry Curve Touch wants users to think of the Blackberry line as more than a great messaging or business device, they want us to think of it as a sleek smartphone that’s capable of competing with the big boys (Apple and Google) and looking at the device, codenamed “Malibu” it sure looks like they are at least off to a good start in terms of design.

The phone, leaked by the team at CrackBerry is said to feature a touchscreen with an 800Mhz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, hardly good enough to compete with the likes of most Google and all iPhone based devices, while offering a 3.25-inch HVGA display.

BlackBerry Curve Touch and Montana leak,BlackBerry Curve Touch and Montana leak

A couple of weeks ago, four new BlackBerrys leaked out and got us seriously excited about RIM's 2011 lineup. Today we've reached maximum 'Berry overload, though, as more unannounced devices have made their way onto the Internet.

First up is a device that CrackBerry is referring to as the Curve Touch. As you can see above, it looks a lot like the Storm 3 that was leaked earlier this month, although its specs are slightly more low-end.

Set for launch some time in late 2011 or early 2012, the alleged specs for the Curve Touch are:

* 3.25-inch, 480x360 display
* 800MHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor
* 5 megapixel camera with HD video capture
* 1GB Flash storage with microSD slot
* 512MB RAM
* NFC, microUSB, Bluetooth 2.1

BlackBerry Curve Touch picture and specs leaked

Phone companies just can't keep their documents from falling into internet-friendly hands, and RIM has been particularly clumsy this year.

After a host of handset leaks earlier in the month, the company's product roadmap has now made its way to BlackBerry blog Crackberry.

Some of the products are old news – the Playbook, for example – and some are merely the CDMA versions of the leaks we've already seen (the Sedona is the Curve Apollo, the Montana is the Dakota and the Storm 3 is the Monaco).
