Unusual BlackBerry patent
John Chan | Dec 26, 2007
Here's another sighting from the patent office. RIM has come up with a novel keypad, one that has trapezoid keys arranged in a V-shaped keypad. According to Cellpassion, this radical design is supposed to make typing easier and may even be found on a touchscreen and not as a physical keypad.
RIM is no stranger to unconventional input keypads as its SureType keypad shows. This is just a patent and may mean nothing. We'll probably see in the coming year if there'll really be a BlackBerry that looks like this.
