Earlier on Monday, Dec. 24, images of RIM's BlackBerry 10 full QWERTY/Touch device from the N-Series, rumored to sport the moniker BlackBerry Z10, had surfaced online. The leaked image resembled an updated version of the Bold 9900.

Now, per a MobileSyrup report, a post on Web site 4Chan shows the BlackBerry Z10 being flanked by a black BlackBerry X10 and a white QWERTY device. The white version has a different style to that of the BlackBerry X10 and could possibly be another N-Series device - the BlackBerry Dev Alpha C.

"A post on 4Chan reveals the all-touch "BlackBerry Z10″ sitting in between the full QWERTY/Touch - rumoured name is the "BlackBerry X10." There's a white version and a black version, however the white version seems to have a different style as it's missing the chrome frets. So it could be the Dev Alpha C that RIM gave 1,500 developers," reported MobileSyrup.

Some tech experts opine that the curved keyboard of the Dev Alpha C could be an indication that it is a part of RIM's BB10 R-Series.

With the RIM event barely a month away, the mystery of the new BlackBerry 10 devices will soon be solved. Till then we will have to be content with the leaks and rumors.
