Speaking with <em>PCM</em>ag recently, RIM’s vice president of developer relations and ecosystem development Alec Saunders said that the company’s early <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/18/rim-introduces-new-bbx-platform-for-phones-tablets-and-embedded-devices/">BBX-powered smartphones</a> will not resemble the popular BlackBerry Bold form factor. The first BBX devices will instead look like smaller versions of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and will come equipped with screens sporting a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution. Saunders also said the first BBX phones will support BlackBerry Enterprise Server. <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/08/rims-first-qnx-phone-revealed-blackberry-colt-to-launch-in-q1-2012/">BGR’s exclusively reported</a> in August that the Waterloo, Canada-based company was building a special version of BES for its new BBX devices. According to rumors, RIM is <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/09/rim-may-be-rushing-blackberry-colt-qnx-phone-amid-weak-blackberry-7-sales/">rushing to get the BlackBerry Colt out of the door</a> in light of BlackBerry 7 device sales that have reportedly underwhelmed, and it is expected to make its debut during the first quarter of next year.
