The troubled company had previously been working on handsets codenamed ‘Colt’, ‘Milan’ and ‘London’, but the Canadian firm is now focusing all its energies on one device, according to BGR.com.



It is currently being shown to networks, and BlackBerry has already confirmed to journalists that demonstration of BlackBerry 10 will take place at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona next month.



BlackBerry is also set to demonstrate the updated version of the BlackBerry Playbook software at the Consumer electronics Show in Las Vegas next week, but it has yet to publicly announce a launch date for integrated email into the tablet device. It recently slashed prices in a bid to boost sales of the 7” device.



The London is likely to ship late in the summer. RIM has been working with Porsche Design on a handset that is currently on sale at Harrods in London, and some leaked images suggest that the new handset could take its design cues from the £1,275 P'9981.

Will be interesting to see if they stick with the QWERTY keyboard.

THe playbook 2 was demo'd @ CES. Basically it's got a ton load of social apps built right into it's native email client as well as an android emulator running to allow you to use android apps.
