It seems like, we have a sneak peak of the device already. Steve Cistulli, President, and GM for TCL Communications - the parent company of Alcatel - took it to Twitter to tease the handset. In fact, it is a 4-second video revealing the classic QWERTY keyboard. Also, the tweet reads that “imPRESSively designed. distinctively different,” indicating two things: the fact that smartphone will have a gorgeous design in a true BlackBerry way and some PR happening as well.
