Research In Motion's (Nasdaq: RIMM) upcoming next set of smartphones, which will run its next-generation BBX operating system, will represent a departure from the company's lonstanding design aesthetics, typified by the BlackBerry Bold, according to a report in PC Magazine. However, the upcoming phones will still support BlackBerry's core enterprise email features.

One smartphone, apparently nicknamed the "BlackBerry Colt," will also have the same screen resolution and aspect ratio and features as the company's floundering PlayBook tablet.

RIM will port BBX to the Playbook and has said the first BBX smartphones will be out early next year.

However, there are rumors that the devices will ship closer to mid-2012.

"2011 has been such a different year for [RIM] that it's hard to say what could happen," Ramon Llamas, IDC senior research analyst, told TechNewsWorld when asked about the launch date rumors.

RIM spokesperson Jamie Ernst declined comment "on rumors and speculation."

More on the BlackBerry Colt

The first BBX smartphones will have the same screen resolution and aspect ratio as the PlayBook. That's an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a resolution of 1,024 by 600 pixels.

"Pixel formats similar to 1,024 by 600 have been implemented in smartphones," Vinita Jakhanwal, a research director at iHS iSuppli, told TechNewsWorld.

The closest is the Fujitsu F-07C smartphone, which uses a 1,020 by 600 pixel format on a four-inch display, Jakhanwal stated.

The 1,024 by 600 screen is a QHD+ format, Jakhanwal said, adding that there's "a lot of activity in the QHD and QHD+ pixel formats for smartphones being designed now."

The QHD format consists of 960 by 540 pixels, which is one quarter of a full 1080p HD frame in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

That screen resolution will let apps created for the PlayBook run on BBX.

The "BlackBerry Colt" will reportedly have a large screen and a virtual keyboard.

"It's most likely that these [QHD+] pixel formats will get implemented in 4.x screens," Jakhanwal remarked. "The popular sizes are four inches and 4.3 inches."
