(Before It's News)

We’v been hearing a lot about the BlackBerry Venice over the last few weeks – how it’s an Android-powered BlackBerry smartphone; how it has a physical sliding keyboard; how it’s actually quite an intriguing smartphone in general – but we’ve always taken its catchy name for granted. As it turns out, “Venice” won’t be the official name of the device in question, which is allegedly going to be called the BlackBerry Priv – presumably short for “privacy” and BlackBerry’s general focus on privacy. The name of the device was leaked by none other than @evleaks, who also recently released a new render of the device in case you’d forgotten what it looked like:

The jury’s still out as to when exactly the device will be announced, but sometime in November appears to be the general consensus – naturally it will be a few weeks yet before invites are sent out and anything is confirmed, but from the recent leaks that we’ve seen, including an in-depth video of an evaluation unit, it sounds like the BlackBerry Priv is pretty much ready for release.
