"Photos of RIM's first handset that will run BlackBerry 10 \u2014 the company's next operating system, which is scheduled for release in early 2013 \u2014 landed on a Vietnamese forum this week. If the 18 photos of the device on tinhte.vn are to be believed, the L-Series, codenamed BlackBerry London, looks quite similar to Apple's iPhone 5. \nThe BlackBerry-branded device in the photos has a rectangular touchscreen with a black bezel along the top and bottom of it, a la the iPhone 5. Watch the video above to learn more. In the photos, the device is powered off, so we don't get a peek at the OS, but you can see BlackBerry 10 running on a different touchscreen device, in the slideshow below. \nRIM is scheduled to launch BlackBerry 10 and two new smartphones Jan. 30. \n\n\nRIM Shows Off More of BlackBerry 10\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlackBerry 10 Lock Screen\nYou unlock a BlackBerry 10 device by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwipe Up to Unlock\nWhen you swipe up, the lock screen dissolves into the home screen on the device.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwipe to Change Screens\nSwiping to the side brings up additional pages of apps.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTap to Change Pages\nYou can also navigate through pages of apps by tapping on the scroll bar on the bottom of the screen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nActive Frames\nTaking a page from Windows Phone, RIM is adding \u201CActive Frames\u201D to BB10. Much like the \"Live Tiles\u201D found in Windows Phone, the frames update with information you can see at a glance. For instance, the weather app will show the current temperature as well as a 7-day forecast, the calendar app shows your next event for the day.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwipe for BlackBerry Hub\nBlackBerry Hub can be accessed by swiping across the screen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContacts\nContact cards include phone numbers, email addresses and social-networking details.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Groups\nRIM is taking the look and feel of its home screen and bringing it into groups. Active frames make an appearance in groups, allowing you to see chats pertaining to a particular group, people who are a part of the group, and photos that have been uploaded. Pictures change as they are uploaded to the group, so if someone uploads a new one then that image will change on the group's page.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContacts Are Accessible From Groups\nTapping on a person in a group will bring up his or her contact card.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPick a Focus Point\nTaking photos in BlackBerry 10 starts out much like taking photos with any other OS, with the ability to tap on any portion of the photo to focus on a specific portion of the frame.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdjust Your Photo\nIf a photo you take is blurry, or someone in the picture has his or her eyes closed, you can use the scroll bar on the bottom of the screen to move forward and backward in time to capture the perfect shot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdjust Individual Faces\nMuch like you can adjust a whole picture, you can also pic out individual faces in a photo to adjust. So, if one friend has her eyes closed in a picture, you can just adjust herface in the photo.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto via tinhte.vn\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
