“Full touch” devices will have a 768 x 1280-pixel screen, while Qwerty flavour is 720 x 720.
After yesterday's news that RIM will release two phones in early 2013 (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/carriers-enamoured-by-new-blackberry-devices/019040) (one touch, one Qwerty), comes more details about those phones.
The first BlackBerry 10 “full touch” device will come with a 768 x 1280 resolution screen, while their Qwerty handset will be 720 x 720 pixels.
And that seems to be the way things are going to be from hereon in. There will be two types of BlackBerries:


Full touch devices: 720 x 1280 (16:9)
Keyboard devices: 720 x 720 (1:1)

This standardisation is useful news for developers, as it will allow them to plan well ahead of time, safe in the knowledge that products will display on future devices.
