Several conflicting reports about the BES 10 later, RIM clarified things with a company official shedding more light on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server upgrade roadmap late last month.
Word on the street is that RIM is getting ready to deep-six two of its light-use management packages in the next few months, likely a result of a killer combination of poor planning, poor execution, and poor uptake.
The device feels quite rigid, thanks to Motorola's hallmark Kevlar backing, although the aluminum rim did begin to show itself underneath the black paintwork after some light scratches.
The average Aequoria Victoria is three to four inches wide and shaped like an umbrella, with 100 light-producing organs the size of poppy seeds spaced on its outer rim.
The 32 RGB LEDs scattered about the rim and the 33rd punctuating the top of the device put on quite a handy little light show when your tunes start dropping beats, or get a bit more mellow when the tracks get a little more chill.
