The BlackBerry Motion has been eagerly anticipated after years of pressure on the smartphone brand. After iPhones and a broad range of Android handsets have been evolving to offer bigger and more versatile screens, the BlackBerry now adopts a display that extends to all sides of the device. That's right: no physical keyboard.
While the absence of tangible buttons on the BlackBerry is not necessarily a new development for the RIM device, the complete package is certainly something to make all smartphone users tempted. Not only can the BlackBerry Motion withstand spills and splashes (maybe even a dunk?), its 4,000mAh battery can hold a charge all day long. With a sleek design, a generous touchscreen, power and an unmatched resilience, this model is shaking up the market.
