Phony but cool: QNX on the BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860

Yesterday, the parody Twitter account of Mike Lazaridis posted two pictures of QNX on a BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860.  I must say that the pictures were edited pretty damn good and are definitely the best phonies I have ever seen.

On a brighter note, QNX would be super cool on a handheld don’t you think? I really want to see how RIM will put it on a QWERTY device like the Bold 9900.  Here we see the Torch 9850/9860 which is all touchscreen so aspect rations pretty much shrink down and look identical to the PlayBook.  I guess the same can be done for a device like the Bold 9900, but with a smaller screen resolution, we’d be seeing less on the screen.

Thanks Bogizo for sending this in!
