iPhone and Nexus rumors have been all the buzz lately but they’re not the only players in the rumor mill, enter BlackBerry Venice. We’ve reported over the past few months that BlackBerry was working on a sliding keyboard phone that ran Android and we’ve seen some leaked renders of the device. Now @evleaks has just released more renders and a confirmation that the BlackBerry Venice will release on all four major carriers in the US.

This will be a first for BlackBerry, running Android on their hardware, and many argue it should have been done long ago. We knew that Google and BlackBerry were working together on making Android more secure for enterprise and this phone could be the phone Google will use to break into the enterprise sector. Of course nothing is really confirmed until there’s an actual announcement but @evleaks has usually been pretty good at getting solid confirmed leaks. In fact, it was reported that companies actually give him his leaks on purpose.
So there you have it, BlackBerry Venice. Is this a phone that appeals to you? Are you going to buy the Venice? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+, Facebook and Twitter.
