this episode of Edward authority is brought to you by domain.com this being our second exclusive in ten days I think it merits a happy dance yes we have reported on the BlackBerry Venice in the past but these images are not only exclusive to Android authority but they are recent like in the past 12 hours now we're getting a good look at the Venice's display and slide-out keyboard although we can't be entirely certain about the display size previous rumors have pointed to a 5.4 inch screen as for the software experience this device seems to stick very closely to vanilla Android with some added blackberry features thrown in for instance our anonymous tipster tells us there will be a keyboard shortcut available for creating quick tasks and a few others as you can see from the image here there also looks to be some software shortcut when swiping up from the home button aside from the normal Google now shortcut you'll also be able to perform a quick local search and create a new message with ease it should also be noted that we don't have any images for this our sources tell us that when the phone boots up you'll see an image of a bug droid holding up a shield this is likely due to BlackBerry's focus on the enterprise showing users that the Venice is a secure device through and through we also have a few photos of the new application switcher and the shortcut widget selection menu as you can see from the first photo here blackberry is making it easier for users to add communication shortcuts for composing new emails bbm messages texts and more you'll also easily be able to add new calendar events schedule meetings and see the current day's agenda right from your home screen as you can see here we're getting a better look at the recent apps menu the applications in this menu will change size depending on how often you use each app which is certainly a nice touch making our way to the back of the device we're seeing the camera which happens to come in at 18 megapixels unfortunately we haven't got our hands on any camera samples just yet two thoughts and the first one you probably thought yourself all those shortcut and widgets are great on the BlackBerry device but those features can be done on any Android device right now if you employ a good widget so how blackberry do this any differently well I don't think they will I think it comes down to that tactile keyboard and maybe they have enough brand juice to pull those CrackBerry lovers back to blackberry it used to be very very popular part of me thinks maybe too little too late and the second thought is blackberry has to be very careful with branding themselves as the secure phone effectively putting an X on their back taunting hackers to really come and ruin their day what do you think well one thing I think is that millions of people never leave Facebook's walled garden that's going off into the wilds of the internet and there sure as heck not going to go to your unknown crappy web site with a dot info domain name get a.com if you mean business why because no domain name extension tells your story with the same level of trust as a.com or.net domain name dot-com and dotnet domain name extensions and Jack credibility into your online presence and who doesn't want more credibility you can save fifteen percent on domain name and web hosting when you use our coupon code Android at domain.com check out don't forget 15% off when you use our coupon code Android when you think domain names think domain.com thanks for watching android army my name is Jase love to connect with you on Google+ or Twitter I will follow you in the comments below you don't wanna forget about my brothers and sister and Android we're working super hard to be your source for all things
