We have more photos of the Android-powered BlackBerry slider phone

Following last month's HQ renders released by famous leaker @Evleaks (Evan Blass), we now have real photos of BlackBerry's upcoming Android-powered slider phone.

If all the leaks are accurate, the phone will have a full BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard hidden under a sliding touchscreen, reminiscent of the most popular smartphones of yesteryear.

From what we can tell, the phone will have a large speaker grille right on the bottom of the handset, the device will have a microSD slot for expanded storage and a 16MP camera. Codenamed Venice, the device has been rumored to have a Snapdragon 808 processor, a 5.4-inch QHD display and 3GB RAM although those specs are unconfirmed.

Somewhat comically, the photo shows the BlackBerry having WhatsApp installed, rather than BlackBerry's popular BBM messenger service.

Lot of people out there that miss the physical querty keyboard as smart phones have a virtual KB.
Think these may do well depending on the price tag.

I hate virtual keyboards. I have a motorola e and I can't stand texting on it. I'm one of the ones who would love to have a physical keyboard. I could see myself with this device if the price was right.
