Hi Tech:Have you seen the latest blackberry blade? O bad gan.

A Toronto design agency has come up with a prototype concept for a new Research In Motion Ltd. smarphone that is creating a buzz in the blogosphere.

Pixelcarve Inc. has developed a mockup of a potential BlackBerry 10 device it calls the “BlackBerry Blade.” A web image displays a sleek and futuristic, slightly curved design that features familiar BlackBerry branding and a touch screen that slides away to make way for a QWERTY keyboard.

The concept includes a 4.5 inch display, quad-core 1.5GHz processor, damage resistance glass and a high pixel density rear mounted camera.

BlackBerry enthusiast blog site CrackBerry.com calls the design “hot,” but says it may be too good to be true. Speculation is building that the first BlackBerry phone operating on the QNX operating system will be dubbed the London and could hit stores in September.
