In terms of how easy it is to teardown, iFixit gave it a rating 2 out of 10 which basically makes it very difficult to teardown. [Read more…]

The BlackBerry Style 9670 has yet to be announced which is why we can rely on these leaked videos (embedded below) to show us what is arriving in the new device.
