BlackBerry Venice Android Slider Pops Up In A Few More Promo Pics, Allegedly Coming To All Major U.S. Carriers In November

The Venice will run Google services, so you'll have the Play Store and all the core apps. We see a render of the Play Store, a BlackBerry data transfer UI, a mail client (similar pic already leaked), and a Chromecast render (already leaked).
Rumors have pointed to this being a keyboard slider, and today's second leak from @evleaks indeed confirms it.
Rumors point to a Snapdragon 808, 5.4-inch QHD LCD with curved glass, and 3GB of RAM. Of course, this could all be a lie. Everything could be... we could all be living lies right now.

This thing actually looks good!

so how tall the phone would be with the slideout keyboard? one foot?

 

[Nishant]

Hehe. Pretty close to a foot

It depends how keyboard is implemented. My Nokia N95 never really double its height, just some part slide out.

I assume Venice also has vertical slide out at bottom instead, not horizontal like this-

Named Blackberry Priv.

Knowing BB, it will be insanely priced. May find a few takers because of the keyboard factor or the BB fanboys..

I have a cousin who might be interested. He wants a phone with a keyboard. He currently using the Q10 I think. An Android device would just enhance his user experience. Though slider might not be his preferred mode to get access to the keyboard.
