Leaked! Blackberry Curve Touch


A sure sign that things a changin’ over at RIM HQ, the keyboard-less Curve Touch — codenamed “Malibu” — has today leaked out into the wilds of the web, courtesy of CrackBerry.com.

This comes just a week after we spied a keyboard totin’ next-gen Curve, known internally as the “Sedona”, so those die-hard keyboard fans need not fret: mid-range Blackberry lovers will have a choice of hard and soft keyboards.

Any leak worth its salt also provides some specs, and this one — while only focussing on the CDMA version — is as artery hardening as you could hope for:

Processor: Qualcomm MSM 8655 800MHz CPU

Radio: CDMA – EvDo Rev A

Display: 3.25″ 480×360 HVGA

Navigation: Trackpad & Nav Keys

Keypad: Virtual QWERTY

Camera: 5 MP (with HD Video recording)

Memory: 1GB Flash + 512MB RAM, Hot Swap MicroSD slot

Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

GPS: Autonomous & A-GPS

Connectivity: NFC, Micro USB, Bluetooth 2.1

Sensors: Ambient Light Sensor, accelerometer

Now, these are only the proposed specs, so they may change before the device launches in late 2011/early 2012, but they seem about right for the mid-range curve.
