[0dev]

If the description is accurate, the phone will have microSD and Micro SIM slots on its side for quick swapping without taking the phone apart, include 8GB of storage, and house an 1800mAh battery.

Looks like the next BlackBerry Curve. The low-end market is where BB traditionally thrives so it'd be interesting to see if BB10 thrives in this space too.

Indeed, Blackberry 7 is still very popular where I live with 12-18 yo wanting a cheap phone. A cheap BB10 phone, if marketed properly, could win over a lot of kids.
