Blackberry has released two Blackberry 10 devices to date – the Z10 and the Q10, both of which are currently enjoying high-end status, with the Q10 currently being priced around the same price that the Bold 9900 saw when it was first released. What that means is that customers looking to hop aboard the Blackberry 10 bandwagon might find it a little financially challenging, which is where the R-series is expected to come in. The R-series is expected to be Blackberry 10’s version of the Curve lineup, a series of devices which will be set at more affordable price ranges. So far not much is known about the R-series, such as its specs and availability, but thanks to a recent posting on Instagram, a Blackberry 10 R-series in a red finish has been caught on camera.
While we cannot personally verify the legitimacy of this device, the folks at N4BB seem pretty sure that this is the real deal. In any case the red finish is rather striking and the way the physical QWERTY keyboard has been design is also somewhat reminiscent of the Curve series with Blackberry OS 7. In any case we’re not sure when Blackberry will announce the R-series, but stay tuned for updates. In the meantime what do you guys think? Do you like what you are seeing so far?
