HOT: Video render of first full touchscreen BlackBerry 10 phone!

Holy. Freak'n. AWESOME. Knowing today is iPhone 5 launch day and that CrackBerry Nation is eagerly awaiting the release of BlackBerry 10 phones, our friend John Anastasiadis just sent us in a little present to help pass the time. If you're not familiar with John's work, he's the talented industrial designer who has put together several DreamBerry concepts for CrackBerry before. But this time it's not a dream image that John whipped up, but rather a video render of what the real deal could potentially look like.

Above you can watch his video render of BlackBerry "London", the first full touchscreen BlackBerry 10 phone expected to hit the market in early 2013. By studying all of the leaked images that have surfaced to date as well as the BB10 Dev Alpha device, John was able to piece together a pretty decent sketch. Once he had his sketch worked out, he worked his magic on it and then just to add to the drool factor, put this one into video (which he says took about 30 hours to render).

Check out the video above and get ready to drool. HUGE thanks to John for surprising us today with this one. Be sure to check out his portfolio. Now is that hot, or is that HOT?!

Alleged image of Nokia 820 Windows Phone 8 device appears? Nope, just a fan render

Just a fan render

Update - As noted in comments, this was actually a well done fan render based off of the leaked Nokia bezel from yesterday. Someone then tipped off WPMU, trying to pass it off as real. While the 'photo' is fake, there is a good chance that whatever Nokia releases, it may look very similar to this.

A somewhat credible looking image of a new Nokia Windows Phone 8 device, allegedly called the ‘820’, has appeared online and is reported to be headed towards AT&T.

The device’s bezel looks similar to what we saw yesterday in the leaked images from a Nokia sub-contractor with the Nokia image to the right and the front-facing camera just off to the left of the earpiece.

A flat-display estimated to be 4” or larger is also shown with no curved glass, much to the disappointment of some users. The device also has the updated Windows Phone 8 flag, ensuring that this device is for the new OS.

Besides the screen difference, a top-port for USB charging is also evident in addition to the obvious red color and thinner, flatter profile of the device. The phone is expected to have a 720-screen resolution, SD card expansion and a dual-core processor.
