Want a closer look at Blackberry's rumored (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/11/reuters-blackberry-android/), occasionally leaked (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/02/blackberry-venice-slider-leak/) Android, keyboard-toting smartphone? Evan Blass (of @evleaks (https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/634113167409344512)) has unearthed some device videos that offer a closer look at that all-important sliding keyboard, as well as that increasingly obligatory segmented-here's-all-the-parts-of-the-camera-lens-render popularized by Nokia (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/11/nokia-lumia-1020/) a few years ago. If the return of a physical keyboard wasn't weird enough any more (http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/keyboard-cover-hands-on/), then how about if the phone, codenamed 'Venice' landing in two different iterations? Certainly, two devices are shown in the video, lining up along each other. Crackberry muses (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-venice-slider-device-demo-video-leaks-out)that Android and BlackBerry 10 iterations could land alongside each other, although there's no other hint that back up the notion of smartphone twins.
