BlackBerry 'C-Series' smartphone caught on camera, looks slightly familiar
Now that the BlackBerry Z30 has been announced, a lot of folks have been asking what's next for BlackBerry in terms of devices. Well, after the announcements earlier about BlackBerry reducing their upcoming device portfolio from six down to four devices, the roadmap has certainly changed a bit but one thing that might still be on track is what is known as the Cafe Series otherwise known as the C-Series.
Over at BBIN, they've just posted the above image suggested to be a part of that series codenamed Americano, not that the codenames really mean much, but that's what it's presented as. Based on previous rumors, this one seems set to come in two different variations overall. One being a full touch and the other being a full QWERTY device. In terms of specs, the devices are suggested to be making use of Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processors with the 8x30 Pro being used in the LTE and HSPA variations, 4.2-Inch or 4.5-inch 720p display and a 5MP camera but, those specs could be subject to device variation.
If you get the feeling of déjà vu while looking at this device, you're not alone. Although I'm just guessing here and this is no way based on any facts, it seems as though this device could quite possibly be the one previously shown off over at BerryFlow as the 'Z5' though, the Z5 naming as far as I know has never really been confirmed as a real device model, it just had to be referred to something and that fit the bill. Again, it's hard to say where this device is now on the roadmap but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Based on yesterday's news of trimming down to 4 devices (2 full touch, 2 qwerty), what are the chances this even sees the light of day?
Jtaylor1986 Sep 21, 2013 at 9:54 am
Very slim
And thank god for that! 4 device types are more than enough.
BK_NY_RAY Sep 22, 2013 at 12:10 am
It's not the number of devices that's important, it's what the consumer wants and what they will buy.
IMO, there should be a low end, mid end and high end QWERTY+touch and touch only phones. OR, high end and lower ended QWERTY+touch and touch only phones. BUT with the same or better specs than the competition and lower prices than the competition. That's basic economics. BBRY can't charge the same or more for phones with the same specs or weaker specs than the competition when the competition's phones sell but BBRY don't. It's ridiculous.
How great would this be:
High end touch only phone with same or better specs than the competition with a lower price.
Lower ended touch only phone with same or better specs than competition for lower price.
Same thing with QWERTY+touch.
And no, the Z30, Z10, Q10 and Q5 don't fall under that because the Z10, Q10 and Q5 are too expensive, not only competitively but also the Q5 for a lower ended phone is too expensive.
jsocan Sep 21, 2013 at 1:20 pm
I think the chances are very high. If the rumoured specs are true, it has the same screen resolution as Z30 and same internal specs as Q5, so from uniformity and ease of support for manufacturing, parts supplies and app development perspectives, it makes sense to be the full-touch entry level device replacing Z10 once it sells out.
BK_NY_RAY Sep 22, 2013 at 12:04 am
How would an entry level phone replace the Z10 when the Z10 is a high end phone and not an entry level one?
BlackBerry needs to release two to three, low end, mid end and high end phones, or any combination of that, only touch screen and touch and QWERTY, with specs that are the same or better than the competition and prices that are lower than the competition.
That;s common sense basic economics. If consumers aren't buying your devices but they are buying the competition then that is one of the things you need to do.

I don't think the Q5 was much cheaper. Actually, the iphone 5C can be had for 75 on contract at some carriers.....sadly even apple is better at pricing a lower end phone than blackberry even though much of their market is in areas that generally wont pay the high prices the west will pay.
qwerty4ever Sep 21, 2013 at 3:07 pm
The BlackBerry Q5 is overpriced off-contract so I'll wait to see what the future holds for BlackBerry, the company. Now if BlackBerry would build a BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 server running on QNX instead of Microsoft Windows Server there might be a lot of interest from organisations concerned about stability and security.

Kids are spending their babysitting money in droves here in Canada on the next iphone. I asked what why, there answer was I don't know, just wanted it. And look I can unlock my phone with my thumb. And oh ya it has ios7. So I asked is there anything new in ios7? Well not really....the camera may be a bit better....and off she went with a death grip on the device. none of them ever put their iphones down. It's a part of their hand now. She also said I don't have many apps....I asked what do you use your phone for....she says texting mainly....Facebook, Twitter. That folks is what they do. and the Hub is superior, yet everyone wants an iphone. An inferior device.
BlackBerry will survive in the Corporate and Government Sectors! My Z10 is so much better than an iphone!
bbq10l Sep 21, 2013 at 10:35 am
Maybe the kid doesn't want to analyze her phone all day. Maybe she just wants to enjoy it. I have an iphone5 and a q10. I can travel with my iphone and have all the banking, business and entertainment apps I need. I cannot solely use my q10. It doesn't have the apps I need. "Prosumers" are tired of carrying two phones. Why do it when other platforms can give you all in one. An OS is only superior to the degree it meets your needs. Your viewpoint is why BlackBerry has failed.
Posted via CB10
New_Z10 Sep 21, 2013 at 11:16 am
I agree.I think we need to accept overall it is a mediocre phone system. You can expect kids or busy business men to be side-loading and installing leaks. It's almost farcical that BlackBerry is going after the prosumers market when they can't make a dent in the consumer market.

tayl0rd Sep 21, 2013 at 1:11 pm
How the heck is it "farcical" when BlackBerry (formerly RIM) placed its stamp in the professional/corporate sector?! Your comment is terribly uninformed at best or just plain misguided. Make no mistake, BB still has a very strong hold of the government and corporate mobile world. The meat of companies now using iDroids (BYODs) as a mobile solution are small upstarts and low grossing corporations that are trimming the fat any way they can. All the big boys still deploy BlackBerry as their mobile solution. BlackBerry is not going anywhere any time soon. Worst case scenario, it will return to its roots as a corporate/business-only device. Once BlackBerries are no longer available for "civilian" consumers, those same people will be clamoring for them because it will be once again viewed as an exclusive, near unattainable device.
heyyysleepy Sep 21, 2013 at 2:01 pm
I work for one of the big banks in Canada and we use BYOD, so there goes your argument that it is just just for small companies. The majority of companies (big and small) are moving to the BYOD model because that is what their employees want and BES10 makes it possible from a security standpoint. You are living in the past buddy. I have accepted what the future is bringing, and that doesn't include blackberry (as far as handsets go). Time to move on.
Posted using my Z10... soon to be Android or Apple
jay_men Sep 21, 2013 at 2:43 pm
I too work with one of the big banks and BYOD is still only being talked about. I've heard rumors a few execs were allowed to carry an iPhone but theyre locked down. Majority of the employees are still given BBOS devices because they still work extremely well as a secure messaging platform. We'll probably move to BB10 in the future but it will not be an overnight max exodus to other platforms as some claim it to be and if it does happen it will be notoriously slow for a bank as long as the devices work. Just an example, we're still using XP on our desktops and many are still using BBOS 5 devices. The reasoning is they just work. BlackBerry will be here for a long time and that's that.
tayl0rd Sep 21, 2013 at 7:06 pm
I didn't say it was "just" for small businesses. I said the majority. I, too, work for one of the largest banks in the U.S. We're also have the option of BYOD, but if it's not a BlackBerry, you're not getting your work emails or enterprise messaging. And even if we do choose BYOD, unless we surrender it to corporate security policy, the only thing it is used for is being paged, BlackBerry or not.
Carmels Sep 21, 2013 at 2:24 pm
And yet your carrying two devices, why?
If the iPhone offers so much of a better experience via its app ecosystem as you state, then why have a Q10? Surely the iPhone can do communications just as well no?
That's just it, no one phone can do it all well. As a consumer you have to have the sensibility to understand what is more important, a phone that helps you be productive in your communications or a phone that has access to millions of apps but isn't necessarily the best on multitasking, without being assisted by 3rd party applications.
I for one have everything I need in my Z10! The fact that people buy iPhones on just the "cool" factor is a testament to Apple's marketing. It's stupid IMO to buy devices based solely on this but kudos to Apple for being successful in doing so.
From my Z10 to YOU, BOO-YAH!

Conceivably, they'll sell out of the Z10 and introduce this. Reading between the lines it seems to be the Z10 that's the problem child in the lineup right now.

+1 . bb10 and all the devices are amazing. the management has failed not the hardware.
inurear Sep 21, 2013 at 1:46 pm
The company with the z10 was joining the feature phone market. (small number of premium devices)
Management did an excellent job in doing so, 1) they are not in debt which would make the company go under. 2) they did all the recommended steps in marketing - traditional and modern 3) they made a brilliant device. 4) they invested heavily in luring apps and developer support.
The issue is their previous line of devices still haunted them, and competition has no problem in outclassing their marketing efforts.
It's sad that they fell short of expectations by 50%, but a write down of devices without having the company go under means that those remaining z10's will be sold at a significantly affordable price. Which means, more people will adopt the z10, which.... is the best advertising they can ask for.
The device speaks for itself.
jsocan Sep 21, 2013 at 1:07 pm
I have the same thought. Z10 is supposed to be the mid tied device once Z30 is out. Now they will discontinue Z10 once inventory is cleared and replace it with Z5 which presumably is cheaper to build.
tayl0rd Sep 21, 2013 at 1:14 pm
The Z10 is one of the best devices to ever wear the BlackBerry symbol, bar none. How is it the problem child? Maybe a problem child for other smartphones once/if those users happen upon a Z10 owner who knows how to demo it, but not for BlackBerry.
Thunderbuck Sep 21, 2013 at 1:17 pm
I like the Z10, trust me. There were two significant issues with it out of the gate though: battery (and when even the Q5 is shipped with a bigger one, that should tell you something), and too many users suffered the random reboot issue to ignore.
Great device, but it's not perfect.
BionicKris Sep 21, 2013 at 11:33 pm
I have had my Z10 since the AT&T US release in mid-March. I am currently running the latest AT&T official 10.1 OS (10.1.0.2019) and I have not had ANY random reboots since I have had my phone. It's an awesome phone. I've never had any phone with a reliability level that comes close to my Z10. Just wish I saw another one out in public..

The apps available in the app world are pretty good, nothing tout see with older devices. And the number is growing with days. For me, I've got all the apps i need. If you want you can check them on the blackberry website, selecting the device you want.
Agreed 100%
HKINDO Sep 21, 2013 at 4:33 am
Name one good pic editing app comparable to snap seed, photo editor, camera 360..
Growing in numbers does not mean it is growing in quality..
I would rather have 1000 quality app in BB world than hundred of thousands useless app.. i can understand the developers reluctance to come to bb10 with the company in such a mess..
Posted via CB10
Willyracer Sep 21, 2013 at 5:01 am
For me, photo studio is a good editing app, after, it depends on what you expect from those types of app. l actually dont know the possibilities of the apps you mentionned.
When i talk about a growing number of apps, i mean quality apps are growing with time. Il totally agree that 100 good apps is better than à lot more nonquality ones.
Moreover, you've always got the possibility tout sideload Android apps. Things i havent done yet because, as i said,I've got all i need in app world.
But i steel encourage devlopers to load more apps.
HKINDO Sep 21, 2013 at 8:02 am
Port app is not good enough, imo. Photo Studio still has a lot improvement to be able to do what camera 360 can do..
I am not a platform addict so i try almost anything out there, iOS Android and OS10. The only one i havent try is windows pbone.
IMO, android is kicking everybody arse right now. Even iOS will have a tough time ahead mainly due to its phone selection limitation.
A usd100 android phone from china can do a lot more than Z10 from applications point of view.. i kid you not..

gregorylkelly Sep 21, 2013 at 9:29 am
While I respect your opinion, that cheap Android phone may be able to run more apps, but the Z10 can run Android apps better than a lot of Android phones. Also, in my opinion, BlackBerry 10 is a much better OS and does the basics better than any other OS.
Posted via CB10
YourMobileGuru Sep 21, 2013 at 12:59 pm
That's great but the point is that so few android developers are porting their existing apps to BB10. Side loading may be fine for enthusiasts and tech junkies but it's NOT a viable option for every day consumers.

BlueHeel Sep 21, 2013 at 6:18 am
Explain how the Z10 will go lower tier. It makes me laugh every time somebody says something like that. The phone is the same as it was the day it was released for six hundred plus dollars in terms of it's physical being. Actually, it's better than it was on release day in many instances with the official and multiple leaked OS upgrades. So please...explain how it becomes a lower tier device. The only thing lower about it now, is the price, which doesn't necessarily make the device itself lower tier. Some of you kill me with your materialistic views. "Oh, this is newer so it is better!" Give me a break. Lol. The mentioned (rumored) device is supposedly an entry level device at that. How do you figure the Z10 to be of lower status than an entry level device?
Posted via CB10
BB10_fan1 Sep 21, 2013 at 6:50 am
I believe the previous poster was quoting from the Press release on pre Q2 results where BlackBerry wrote: " the Company will re-tier the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone to make it available to a broader, entry-level audience". Now since most of the inventory write-off of around 930 million was attributed to the Z10 then I guess they can now sell it cheaper without taking any further losses especially since they just released a new flagship Z30.
So to your point they aren't revamping the Z10 to be a lower tiered phone -they are just relying on Moore's law and and inventory write-off to achieve the same effect.

In my opinion, phone tiers should be based on price. If the Z10 becomes a lower tier device, that would mean positive things for BlackBerry 10. Basically, it's saying that BlackBerry has an amazing lower tier device that can compete with the other manufacturers higher tier devices.

EDIT AGAIN: wait.. if they could have just blurred out the PINs like they did for the top two, why didn't they do that for the bottom two as well?? Unless of course they're trying to hide unreleased apps, to save for a surprise announcement...

What's your point ?
We need discussion of prosumer. I'm only familiar with the term as it is used in cameras. That is not for professionals but still for those who want a reasonably good phone that does what they want it to at the cheapest cost. That is not to compete with the pro version (iphone). I personally think it's a mistake. I think BlackBerry can compete with the pros in one high end iconic market. But their most lucrative market will be business. That is a work phone. Cheap but very functional so that businesses can justify. Secure, easy to manage. Effective. The high end versions can also fit. Hence I think two markets are viable. A business market and a pro market. In the middle us dangerous.

In fact, you will still be able to buy a BlackBerry next week, next month, and probably next year.

BlackberryFan777 Sep 21, 2013 at 4:03 am
They don't need a budget phone. They just wrote-off a billion dollars worth of Z10 inventory. Since they've already been written off as losses, those phones should be reduced in price to sell at the low-end. I like the idea of the 4.5 inch screen as more likely to be successful in the U.S. market, but the 4.2 inch screen on a Z10 should be fine. The Z10 is a great device and I love the idea of getting it into more hands at a lower cost of entry. Let's say out of contract = $299... or $150. That should raise a few eyebrows. :-)
But, if they were truthful today and they really will be focusing on enterprise and prosumer markets, they don't need this phone. This is a good entry-level consumer model.
Just my initial thoughts...
BlackberryFan777 Sep 21, 2013 at 4:04 am
Is the sort-of glowing square at the bottom-front of the phone a fingerprint reader?
Thunderbuck Sep 21, 2013 at 7:37 am
This model was going to be the next one introduced, so it was probably advanced enough in the development cycle that some prototypes have already been built, probably even a pre-production run.
Whether it ever actually makes it to market is anyone's guess.
I doubt this will ever launch, if it does, they need to firesale the z10s off first.
badiyee Sep 21, 2013 at 4:11 am
Looks like a "quote-bait". But I think with the surprise they did with the z30, this one may actually live to be released into the market. Just methinks, that is.
The problem is, if you add up a number of things, where does it fit? You can't launch a budget devices which you are trying to firesale... sorry "retier" it's big brother with a better spec. Moreover there are a number of other issues - if you have flooded the channel with duds that nobody wants to buy (think about it - three devices on the market, sub-million quarter for BB across twenty plus markets - must be sub-100,000 in some key markets), how do you get it to 'eat' this device?
You don't.
Thunderbuck Sep 21, 2013 at 7:39 am
I'm inclined to agree with you, but only if that means the Z10 is staying in production. There's also the chance that they might just sell off remaining Z10 stock and introduce this budget model later. Or, they have so much Z10 stock that they could sell it for the next two years...
Answer: BlackBerry trade-in program world-wide for Z10 devices.
Win-Win situation for everyone, with marketshare to brag to the App developers.
Probably cheaper than Z10 inventory writedown ?

If it's a budget model why is the screen so big?
badiyee Sep 21, 2013 at 4:12 am
Alcatel and ZTE have some really budget "phablets". They are 5", and sport 512MB. There are also phones that are nearly 5" and aren't marketted as flagship / hero phones.
Screen might not be bigger. Remember the Z10 has a unique resolution and they announced that all other full touch devices would have a different resolution than the Z10. Could just be that the 1280x720 holds 5 rows better than the 1280x768 does

Maybe they will kill off the Z10 and produce a cheaper Q5 like version of it to save on costs and push entry level adoption of BB10.
Flip4Bytes Sep 21, 2013 at 4:27 am
Is it just me, or does the image above look a lot like it could be just an earlier version of the Z30? It's quite ugly in my opinion sadly, but mirrors a lot of the Q5's looks and that is the cheaper Q model and all. If it's not an early Z30 model, I don't know what to think - it looks like it very well could be a 5" screen, especially because it holds 5 rows of icons like the Z30, so why would they be making a "cheap model" phablet Z.. Phablets are mainly meant to be higher-end phones because they are supposed to be tablets that are also phones.
I feel like the Z10 is going to be the "cheap model" they need a high-end non-phablet area Z series device.. Like Z30 quality, but Z10 screen size.
bjschey Sep 21, 2013 at 4:29 am
Judging by the 5 rows of apps, I'm sure this is at least a 4.5 inch screen. Actually looks like a Z30, but dulled down. Spec-wise this sounds like it would be positioned just below the Z10, making it a possible Z5. However, with BlackBerry changing the number of phones in its portfolio, this could be used as a next-gen replacement for the Z10. The problem with the Z10 is that it's to close spec-wise to the Z30. Ditching the Z10 and bringing this out to replace it, and rebrand it as a Z15 would make a lot of sense.

+1, it has the cheap feeling curves that they made apparent in the Q5's design. I'm assuming those curves will always be there for their cheap models, but they look hideous to me even for a "cheap model".

Given what we heard about restructuring I doubt we will see any new devices and two of those out there will be dropped. .
Unless somebody buys the company, I doubt if we will see the specialized apps that are what people mean by "no apps." Such as those from stock brokers. Only Bloomberg has made one of those.

Why won't Blackberry give these new devices cool flagship names or series???? That would at least give subtle marketing to a potential customers with an idea or theme about the NEW BlackBerry products.
Z10, Q10, Q5, Z30, or Z5= NOT Tactical marketing strategy.
London, Colt, Blackforest, Winchester, Bold, Storm, Torch, etc= BETTER Product identification which makes for better commercials because now you have a theme to work with, all makes for better marketing. Codenames should be acronyms and numers. Final product should have a blessed name!!!!!!
Otherwise it might as well be called the

My optimistic interpretation is that BlackBerry will no longer release new phones. They allready have 4 now. So, i'm hoping that they will go for a touch and a qwerty for low -tier ( that is Z10 and Q5) and Z30 with Q10 for high end.

My interpretation of the downsizing from 6 devices to 4 devices was more of an annual thing, not period. I would imagine that this could be part of the ones for next year, granted they continue to make phones. They would have to have something in the works regardless of whether they still produce for "consumers ", which to me is still suspect. I like the way this phone looks. I love my Z10 and can't wait for the Z30. I will be riding this horse until it's dead.

BlackBerry will survive. The media is just scared of losing their advertising dollars from apple and Samsung who probably spend 50x more than blackberry, and they would lose too much money in their declining apple stocks. It's a sad world where being the best doesn't matter, it's who pays you the most that matters. I love my Z10 and can't wait for my Z30! Stereo speakers and all :) I just wish they had an upgraded camera, but it still has as good of a camera as the latest iPhone. Maybe I will pick up a real camera with Wifi connectivity. BlackBerry has the best operating system period!

Not a fucking chance. BlackBerry wants to commit Harry Carey, they can just go do it.

Bad news helps Prima with his buyout venture. Once things get finalized you will see stability again. The Z30 rocks! The Z10 is awesome, it's only the corrupted media that got them off to a bad start. BlackBerry isn't dead. They aren't even in debt! This is all part of a difficult transition and things will improve, even if BlackBerry becomes a niche player, thriving in the enterprise industry, they will survive, and I will support them.

That's probably because the displays are generally in some back corner (for the Z10 and Q10). I walked into a local Futureshop the other day, and the Galaxy's, iPhones, other Droids were all prominently displayed. (I'm talking working demo models). The only Blackberry placed amongst them....the Q5?! It's not even trying to compete directly with the S4 and i5.

The Toronto Star quoted 2 analysts today as saying BlackBerry is dead or done for. One even sold all his stock. They misinterpreted yesterday's news but it doesn't matter. That BS sells papers. If anything this is the lowest low point. When a newspaper sells the public on: "Oh no. BlackBerry cuts it's staff by 1/3! Might as well get some analysts to scare everyone from ever buying a BB phone again so the other 2/3 can lose their jobs too." I don't think I'll ever understand the media. They know how much influence they have over peoples lives and yet they care more about selling sensationalist BS than just informing the public. It's like they need an exciting story to capture their audience.

Maybe this C series phone is the 6th device that BlackBerry said they would release in the year which for them is probably for fiscal 2014. Maybe the change from 6 to 4 devices released per year is starting in fiscal 2015. Next year is when the next gen Z10 will be considered their entry level phone and future development of the C series and possibly any new BBOS 7 devices will be wound down to just have a lineup of z10 z30 q10 q5. Again all this is starting next year...All those who say why bother do anything at this point please look yourself in the mirror and say the same thing about your life. Why bother?? Stupid is as stupid does.

A Dev Alpha D device perhaps... ? ;
I love Blackberry as a company and devices but, I will not have shocked if it collapsed
let me explain something the chairman Thorsten Heins (of CEO I don not care what is he) is really dumb enough to kill the company and here is the point of why he made so stiupid decisions:-
1- Releasing new device or near to release (2 weeks before the actual release) and in the same time announce for upcoming devices will make people wait for the other devices>
2- Releasing BBM in Android and IOS without paying for the service will make people really thing about leaving the old (Blacknerry OS4 - OS7) for Iphone and Android and in the same time BB10OS is not stable enough to make people switch without the exclusive BBM, although the BB10 is the best OS I ever used (personal opinion).
3-Broken Promises. Playbook and Headless apps.
4- Sharing company strategy with people in the internet (like company board make decisions for another strategy in the future).
5-Markting problems, like dumb ads.
if the company do not fix these issues it will be part of historical failures.

Secureberry Sep 22, 2013 at 9:45 am
I like Blackberries for its innovative software and security. However, in reality, BB sales is directly proportional to its physical appearance and feel. Unfortunately BB's weaknesses in these aspects are seriously affecting its sales demand and competitiveness. Here is my two bits worth of advise:
1. Concentrate on perfecting existing designs and minimize the product skew to reduce working capital drain on the already depleted financial resources.
2. Compared to competitions, existing BB devices, for the same screen size, have too much plastic and too little screen. They must be condensed and trimmed down to about 85% of existing physical sizes and weight while maintaining the same screen size and thickness. There are tons of existing technologies out there to achieve it by working with BB's supplies of materials and production equipment. By reducing the product skew would make it easier for BB to achieve the economy of scale to better its designs.
3. In this post Snowden era, the world is still waiting for BB to clarify how its security features compared to its Apple and Android competitors. BB's present failure to strongly publicize, market and defend its security features has demoted BB to the ranks of just another average leaky US software run consumer smart phone and eroded its niche market strategy chance of success.
4. BB's core strength is security and software. BB should stop expanding its existing skew and concentrate on mending its existing physical design weaknesses.
Apple has just release its latest design with a finger print recording switch - a fatal fraud that would scare away US spy weary consumers around the world. This is the time for BB to come out fighting hard and defend itself. Good luck BB.

JCardan Sep 22, 2013 at 5:27 pm
Non-removable battery, like q5. It has become fashionable. Sad.
Keep going to death, dear BB. RIP
And I thought we had...
Z30 and Q10 = luxury devices
Z10 and Q5 = budget devices
I know Z10 was supposed to be higher end, but at this point if the Z30 is coming out, surely that is the all-touch first-tier model and the Z10 is now pushed down into second-tier all-touch model. Similarly, we already know the Q5 is a more budget-level version of a Q10 for the keyboard-models. Isn't that 4 phones?
I think they need to work with these lines of phones and work on the production side to continue lowering the costs. I know Z10 was supposed to be "high-end" but the longer it is in production, the more are made, the cheaper it should theoretically get. BlackBerry cannot afford to release a cheaper all-touch phone. Apple is already killing it with the older iPhones and even the new ones are becoming more affordable due to their huge economies of scale.
BlackBerry needs to make the Z10 as inexpensive as possible and continue lowering the cost of the Q5, while continuing to sell a larger/faster Z30 and more refined Q10 into the "higher" professional tier, and that's it. I can't see the logic in spending money on designing and pushing out yet another phone with crappier specs to try and save a few bucks on production, and then not sell enough to make it worth it.

The Office of the Dean of Students exists to create a University community that is student centered and welcoming. In our student centered community, the Dean of Students unit collaborates to assist students in understanding life transitions and assessing personal growth and development through student advocacy, involvement, and engagement.
The dean of students encourages all students to:
Be responsible – As young adults, you are engaged in a vibrant community enriched with history and tradition. You will gain your education in the classroom, in the residence halls, on the athletic fields, and among your friends and peers.

How To Upgrade To The Latest S.L. 5.x Release
Scientific Linux was designed so that an administrator can easily upgrade their computer between minor releases.
It is not required that administrators upgrade their release, because the security errata will be updated for all releases. But there are often features and/or packages included in later releases that were not available with the earlier releases.
Below is the steps, for both yum and apt, to change to the latest 5.x release.
These instructions are for updating between minor releases, such as from 5.0 to 5.1. Changes between major releases 4 and 5 (such as from 4.2 to 5.1), cannot be done with yum, but must be done with the main installer.
For The Impatient
- x86_64 only yum remove perl.i386 gaim.i386 gaim-devel.i386
- yum clean all
- rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/misc/RPMS/yum-conf-latest.SL.noarch.rpm
- yum update yum
- yum update
For those a little more cautious
Make sure you have done your backup's.
I haven't heard of anyone needing them, but don't you be the first.
- Make sure you have enough disk space. In particular, make sure you have enough space in /var/cache, which is where yum downloads the rpms.
x86_64 only yum remove perl.i386 gaim.i386 gaim-devel.i386
In earlier versions of SL (5.0, 5.1 & 5.2) there was a i386 version of perl and gaim in the x86_64 release. This was taken out by the upstream version, and eventually out of SL. In order to update to newer versions of SL, you need to take the i386 version of perl and gaim out of your x86_64 install.
- optional
yum update
This will get your system up to date with the latest packages. It will also make the last step smaller.
yum clean all
This cleans up all the headers and packages from your old yum configuration. If you do not do this step, it is very likely that yum will say that there is nothing to do.
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/misc/RPMS/yum-conf-latest.SL.noarch.rpm
This will install the latest yum.conf for your system. If you customized your yum.cron, or your yum.cron.excludes files, these will not be touched.
yum update yum
It's always good to have the latest yum before doing this, just incase the latest yum has fixed some bug you would have run into.
yum update
This is the big part, where everything gets changed.
- Check your grub settings. Although yum usually get's things right when it updates kernels, it is always a good idea to give the grub config file a check.
- optional
yum clean all
This cleans up all the rpms that you just downloaded, clearing up your disk space.
Reboot into your new kernel and Scientific Linux release

As social media becomes an important tool in allowing agencies to meet their missions, managers must ensure that their tweets, Facebook posts and YouTube videos are accessible to persons with disabilities.
Julia Ziegler, Web Manager, Federal News Radio
After a decade of growth, the number of federal employees has begun a slight decline. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows 63,000 fewer feds on the government's payroll today than there were a year ago. Federal News Radio's Web Manager Julia Ziegler joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss what this means for agencies as they try to complete their missions.

Joe Petrillo, Procurement Attorney, Petrillo & Powell
The great thing about federal contracting is that the rulemakers never rest. Just when you are sure you've got it all figured out, things change. The latest rules are just out from the Labor Department. They concern affirmative action programs required of federal contractors. In Federal Drive's weekly legal loop segment, hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp turned to procurement attorney Joe Petrillo of Petrillo & Powell for an explanation.

Estimates point to slight COLA hike
Preliminary figures suggest next year's benefit increase will be roughly 1.5 percent, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. The increase will be small because consumer prices, as measured by the government, haven't gone up much in the past year.

Right now witnesses are being interviewed by Richmond Police about the latest armed robbery near VCU.
Officers say two arrests have been made, but they may still be looking for the third suspect.
It happened in a neighborhood behind the Siegel Center on W. Marshall Street and Harrison Street.
Many people who live here are VCU students, who say they're not too worried about their safety, but agree this crime seemed more violent.
It happened right outside Nolan Gray's home. "I saw the lights and I looked outside and there were three cop cars right here at this block and within a couple seconds later I got the VCU Alert saying there's a robbery," he said.
In the alert that Gray received, it said the three suspects held two men at gunpoint, shoved them onto the ground and stole the victim's belongings.
A short time later, VCU posted that officers had captured two suspects, but not the third.
"I was slightly frightened because it could have easily been me walking home from class," he said.
It's the first alert of the year, but it doesn't surprise some students.
"It really didn't bother me that much," says Jennifer Aranyi, a VCU senior.
"It really wasn't too much of a surprise considering where I live, says Preston Thompson, a VCU sophomore.
For Thompson, while he sees police on patrol he says the neighborhood needs more emergency phones. The closest one is down the street near the Siegel Center.
"I think they're very important especially if they want to keep admissions rolling in like people don't want to come to a campus they feel is unsafe," he said.
These students say since last semester they've seen an increase with police in this area. That's keeping with a promise made by the VCU police chief to be more visible in areas around campus.

While there are complicated treadmill tests to objectively measure maximum heart rate, most people will use a simple calculation to estimate maximum heart rate. The easiest formula is simply to subtract your age from 220. A new method, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, estimates maximum heart rate with the following formula: 208 minus 0.7 times age. Try the online calculator here: The New Maximum Heart Rate Calculator Now that you know your maximum heart rate you will determine your overall training goal, and set your exercise intensity accordingly. Intensity
Determining how hard to exercise is the basis for solid training. Intensity simply refers to your heart rate during training. The appropriate exercise intensity depends upon your maximum heart rate, your current level of fitness and your goals.
- Training Zones
- If you are just starting an exercise program it is essential that you check with your doctor before beginning. After you get the go-ahead, it is recommended that you exercise between 50 - 60 percent of your maximum heart rate.
- If you already exercise regularly and would like to continue increasing overall fitness, or improve your times, you should, exercise at 60 - 70 percent of maximum heart rate.
- If your goal is to improve aerobic capacity or athletic performance, you will likely be exercising in the training zone, which is 75 - 85 percent of maximum heat rate.
- See:
- How lactic acid affects performance
- Short, high intensity exercise burns more calories
- Lactic acid: friend or foe?
For general conditioning choose activities that use large muscle groups and which are continuous in nature. Some good examples are walking, swimming, running, aerobic dance, stair climbing machines, ski machines, treadmills, cycling or exercise bikes. For those who are seeking to improve athletic performance, you will also want to use sport-specific training. The principle of specificity states that to become better at a particular exercise or skill, you must perform that exercise or skill. Therefore, a runner should train by running and a swimmer should train by swimming. There are, however, some great reasons to cross train, and it is recommended for all athletes.
How often you exercise will depend upon you level of conditioning and your goals, as well as the intensity of your training. The higher your intensity, the more you should rest, so your frequency should decrease accordingly. For general training, it is recommended that you exercise in your target range at least 3-5 times per week, with no more than 48 hours between sessions.
- See:
- Overtraining issues
General fitness can be improved in as little as 30 minutes 3 times a week. For improved conditioning, you should try to maintain 30-60 minutes of continuous exercise in your target zone each session. Warm up & cool down
It is highly recommended that you include an easy warm up of 5-10 minutes, before moving up to your training heart rate. A 5-10 minute cool down after your training may prevent dizziness and will allow your heart rate and core temperaure to fall gradually. If you stretch, this is the best time because your muscles are warm and flexible and the risk of injury is low. Studies have s

Log in to your Library account
You can access UCL's ejournals using the ejournals list or Explore.
In the ejournals list, click on 'Access UCL's ejournals service'. If you know the title of the journal that interests you, check the A-Z listings to see if UCL has access. To see which titles in your subject area are available, use the subject listings.
The lists of available titles contain three columns:
The journal content will be the same at every location. The difference between the sites will instead be related to the timespan covered, the means of authenticating access or the currency of the material.
A moving wall or embargo is the specified time difference between the latest issue of a journal available electronically and the latest issue to have been published. For example, many ejournals in JSTOR have a moving wall of three years, so that only content more than three years old is accessible. The moving wall refers to complete years only and the current, incomplete year is not counted.
If you are on-site using a computer running on the UCL network, your access to the journals will usually be automatically authenticated and you should not need to enter a username and password.
A few titles require a special username and password for access. This is indicated in the SFX box that appears when you click on the journal title in the ejournals list. You will see a link to UCL Library Services' passwords page. The passwords page is only accessible to UCL staff and students and passwords MUST NOT be divulged to anyone else.
If you are off-site, the links in the ejournals list, Explore, MetaLib and individual databases will direct you to UCL's single sign-on screen each time you start a new session. Once you have logged in with your UCL userid and password, you will be able to access eresources off-site. Once you have entered this information you won't be asked for it again to access other titles. This remains the case until you close your web browser.
Please note: a few ejournals CANNOT be accessed using the proxy server. These titles require a special username and password provided by the publisher. If you need one of these passwords, there will be a note in the SFX menu, with a link to the passwords page where it can be found. The passwords page is only accessible to UCL staff and students and passwords MUST NOT be divulged to anyone else.
Users must observe the terms and conditions of UCL's licence agreements with publishers. If a user breaches these terms and conditions, UCL's access may be suspended. Please read the list of permitted and prohibited activites before accessing any eresources. If you have any queries, please submit a problem report form.
Generally speaking, your access to electronic journals is dependent on UCL Library Services having arranged a subscription. There are some ejournals that are freely available, but the majority are not. Although you do not usually need a username and password when you are on-site at UCL, this does not mean that the journal is free - most journals are being authenticated on the basis of UCL's IP addresses, which are supplied to publishers when access is set up.
Many publishers require extra payments for access to older content so you may find that you can access recent content but not all the issues available. There are also a number of journals which still do not have an electronic version or where online access is only designed for individuals or society members, not institutions.
If the journal you are interested in does not appear in the ejournals list or Explore and you wish to recommend its purchase, please contact your subject librarian.
Use the problem report form to contact the ejournals team, including details of:

Em Tamandaré você tem que desfrutar da paisagem selvagem da praia dos Carneiros, localizada à 5 Km da cidade. Carneiros é uma praia de sonhos. São 5 Km de coqueiros que margeiam toda a sua extensão, a água é límpida e morna e sua paisagem é moldada pelo estuário do Rio Formoso e por um paredão de arrecifes de 1Km de extensão. As piscinas naturais e os bancos de areia oferecem um espetáculo de cores inigualável. As ondas banham a "igrejinha dos Carneiros", porque ainda hoje utilizada em eventos isolados. A praia é um paraíso que merece ser visitado, pois a paisagem ainda é quase a mesma do início do século. Permite ancoragem natural na maré baixa de pequenos barcos e médias embarcações na maré alta.

Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.

When Paris-based La Comedie Francaise, the oldest permanent theatre troupe in the west, needed modern show control for its traditional stage operations, it turned to Artabase to design a control system with Medialon at its core. Artabase is a new firm that specializes in providing technical solutions for theatrical presentations.
In La Comedie Francaise's classic theatre, the scenic and decor elements are mobile, stored on upper and lower levels and manipulated by technicians located in the stage gallery and basement. The mobile decor elements consist of very big, heavy painted wood panels and other large objects suspended on mobile rails for fast moves. It's the technicians' job to move these decor elements in sync with the show performance.
The challenge for Medialon in this theatrical application was to be able to operate and monitor in real time a number of human resources from a central point in a simple, handy way. Because the theatre's Richelieu control room is quite small, Artabase was also required to provide a technical solution using a single, 17" touchscreen. The resulting Medialon show-control system combines a simple, visual user interface with control tools and powerful task synchronization.
To communicate with the technicians silently LED lighting boxes were placed near each technician's position. Each box contains three LEDs and an acknowledgment push button. Medialon Show Manager controls the boxes via regular DMX protocol.
During rehearsals as many as 60 technicians need to be "triggered" simultaneously so presets are created for all of the LED boxes following the storyboard of a particular show. By pressing relevant command buttons on his touchscreen, the Medialon operator can activate and monitor the LED status changes to set memories that will be recalled in sync during the live show.
When a performance is underway the first, red LED is used to confirm that the technician is present at his post before the cue to move the mobile decor arrives. The technician acknowledges his presence by pressing the button, which the Medialon operator monitors on screen. Next, the orange "intention" LED flashes to warn the technician that it will soon be time to act. At the precise moment to act the "top" green LED flashes, and the technician sends his mobile decor on stage.
In addition to this function, Medialon is also charged with controlling AV resources, such as DVD players and Matrix switchers, which will eventually be synched with the technicians' operations according to the show storyboard.
Julien Ribes from Artabase handled the installation, which was designed by French consultant Patrice Bunaziet from Astell and Sophie Bourgeois, technical director of La Comedie Francaise.

I had just cracked a Coors when the fish came up. I set the brew on the bait tank, buckled in as a tuna slurped the bait, lifted the 80-wide Tiagra out of the holder and went to work. My beer was still ice cold when we gaffed the 192-pound yellowfin.
That short, effective fight depended on the 200-pound Premium Seaguar fluorocarbon leader, 40 pounds of drag and a true winch of a reel. But the gear doesn't matter if you don't use it right, and that means using its power to hurt tuna instead of yourself. I'm a big guy and I've caught hundreds of tuna over 100 pounds, but size doesn't matter. I've seen little old ladies use the right techniques and catch fish much bigger than I ever have. My friend Dan Felger caught a 300-pound yellowfin on stand-up gear when he was 78.
Suit Up
The key is a good harness and pad, and the ability to use it. One of my favorites is the AFTCO Maxforce 1 designed by Greg Stotesbury. Stotesbury's stand-up experience, like mine, is grounded in the San Diego long-range fleet. No offense, East Coasters, but most of you don't know how to use a harness.
Here's how it works.
If you learn anything here it should be this: When fighting a fish, you should feel all the force transferred by the harness from the point of your hips down. You want the belt around your butt, not the small of your back.
In preparation, wear the harness before the bite. Wait until the fish is solidly hooked and pulling drag before you put the rod in the belt and clip in. Many fish are lost early when folks fumble with their gear instead of fighting the fish.
Once you are fastened to the fish, attitude is everything. Stay calm and relaxed. Don't let adrenaline and bad form hurt you.
Proper form means good posture: Put your left hand on the reel to guide the line, with your right hand on the handle. Keep your back straight, and bend your knees enough to distribute the pressure across the tops of your quads and your backside.
Modern composite rods do all the work when kept at right angles to the rail. When the tip comes up, wind it back down. If you can't turn the handle, switch the reel to low speed. Can't keep up? Go to high speed.
Don't impart the wild pumping motions made popular by a lady angler some years ago. Instead, focus on the rod tip.
Call out deep color when you see it, and wind the fish up to the gaff.

Future Classics Is Ready For Its Close-Up-------
You can learn a lot about how designers see their collections by the music they choose. In Future Classics designer Julie Wilkins' case, it was "Sing Swan Song" by Can and "Strange Overtones" from the recent Brian Eno/David Byrne album. Those particular songs don't tell you much the way, for instance, "Girls & Boys" by Blur is an androgyny alert or "Dance Dance Dance" by Lykke Li informs you that you're about to see a collection determinedly on-trend. But Can? According to Wilkins, a sense of mystery was the point. "I'm always interested in hiding or exposing the body in unexpected ways," she explained, noting the draped hooding and back vent in her Spring 2010 line-up. Shown at the British Fashion Council's new Somerset House location, Wilkins' Future Classics presentation yesterday was part of the BFC's initiative this season to offer emerging designers a more intimate venue. Here, the close-up view was a boon, as Wilkins specializes in, ahem, classic looks that are just a little twisted, like a pair of baggy trouser shorts cut open subtly at the base of the spine, or a vivid floral dress that reveals some exacting tailoring. The designer, who launched her brand in 2000 and sells at U.S. stores like Confederacy and Curve, calls this season particularly "realistic." She explained, "If I wouldn't wear it, it was out." One last musical issue: Was that really her singing the song that introduced the show? "Yeah, I dip in and out of the music thing," Wilkins revealed. "I don't have a proper band name or anything, but I do have an album cooking."
