Blackberry new photos emerge

The best photos yet have emerged showing off the first BlackBerry 10 L-series phone, Cnet.reported .

The snaps, which come from Vietnam where leakmeisters Tinh te have got their hands on the new phone, have revealed the influence of the iPhone 5.

But unlike the iPhone, the new BlackBerry phone has no home button on the front. That's because the software is designed to let the users skip between apps without having to go to a home screen in between.

Another feature notable by its absence is the keyboard. This phone only has a touchscreen, but a second phone will have the traditional clicky keys so beloved of BlackBerry devotees.
