At first it was open for questioning, and then more sources over at The Verge confirmed for the info to be true.  This is the first BBX OS powered smartphone from RIM.  At a quick glance it resembles the BlackBerry Porsche P’9981 with the whole shape and color of it.  The codename is BlackBerry “London” and is expected to sport a dual core 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of on board storage, 8MP rear camera, and 2MP front face camera.  According to the leak, it’s expected to be thinner than the iPhone 4 and the same size about as the Samsung Galaxy II.

We should be expecting to see this device take off in the third quarter of 2012, and we seriously can’t wait to get our hands on it already.  From what we’re seeing in the image, this OS resembles QNX as we know it on the PlayBook.  The open tabs look very similar to PlayBook OS 2.0, with the title of the application underneath in a box, looking like actual tabs.
