Blackberry has been quite silent for a while now whilst other manufacturers have been pretty hot with the media. Last year ended with rumors springing up with details that pointed to a possible 2016 early comer from this Canadian Company, the BlackBerry Vienna, which up until now hasn’t seen the light of day.

The device was said to have a two-way input method with a stylish QWERTY board just below a smooth touchscreen display. Although rumors of this candy-bar type of phone have fizzled out, Blackberry still has quite a lot in stock for the Android ecosystem.

Details from new sources suggest that this Canadian OEM has come up with a smartphone, better still, two smartphones, to replace the Vienna with different specs and designs.

Those details point to two new devices under the names of Blackberry Hamburg, (which is a mid-ranger with an expected launch price of $400) which, Unlike the Vienna, would sport a full touchscreen display, possibly with a QHD resolution just as the Blackberry Priv and should hit the market sometime in Q3 of 2016.

While the sibling might be dubbed the Blackberry Rome which should launch close to the ending of 2016 probably a few months after Hamburg makes its way into the market. The Blackberry Rome will purportedly be the higher end version which, of course, should come in at a higher price that is currently unknown.

However, it should essentially be the upgrade to the Priv that’s currently in the market and should feature a traditional QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen display added to it.

And as usual, when it comes to rumors, there is always a possibility that they wouldn’t come to pass so we advise you to treat this information accordingly, who knows, they both might just end up like their imaginary predecessor.
