Still wasting 25% of the overall size on that stupid keyboard I see.
It's a curved glass, slider phone. Keyboard sides in and full touchscreen as any current smartphone. With just the option to slide out the actual keyboard if you want to really hammer away at emails and messages.

Any idea what size of hard drive they might be carrying?
Rumored specs: 5.4-inch Quad-HD screen, a 1.8GHz 64-bit hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB RAM, as well as an 18-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

Nice but gonna be so few apps for it, some people will return it. Same as Windows phone, not enough apps
BB phones now run android via amazon apps. This phone is rumored to take that even further and run on Android Lolipop heavily modified to be more BB10 with hub etc. But you can run 90% of all android Apps on any BB10 phone right now.

Business people. And that's where Blackberry will have its greatest impact, where it always used to, in business and corporate environments. They stumbled a bit and lost some contracts to iPhone and Samsung, but some are returning to what many perceive as the only business-oriented phone out there.
Not everyone wants, or cares about, apps or games. They simply want a phone to be more in tune with business --> phone, efficient emails (properly formatted, not txt speak gibberish), and occasionally check an intranet site, or internet site as the case may be. Not for surfing, playing games, listening to music, etc.
My brother-in-law works for Chevron and they switched out all employee phones for iPhones and people there overwhelmingly hated it because, in his words (he's an exec there), it's not a business phone. It's a "social consumer phone". He figures they're going back to Blackberry one their next contract as well. The "Classic" and the "Passport" are the two he says he's evaluating. Personally, I think the Passport is obnoxiously big, like most smartphones these days.
you can forget about 2 handed typing in landscape mode on that device. for business, typing with a thumb only? hmm
not seeing the business benefit of that.
On their new one in the OP, I agree completely. I think more corporate clients will gravitate toward the tried and true Classic model, or larger Passport model.
