RIM previously announced delays to its upcoming BlackBerry 10 system, which the company considers crucial to its future. It's expected in the first quarter of next year, rather than late this year.

Photos of unreleased HTC ‘Proto’ emerge Posted: 23 Aug 2012 03:40 PM PDT HTC (2498) hasn't been making many waves in the smartphone market this summer, but pictures of a new HTC device code-named the "Proto" emerged on Thursday, and it looks like the company's followup to the One series that launched earlier this year.

The site describes the phone's overall design as "a rounded, flowing case that more closely mimics the higher-end models in the One range."
