BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is rumoured to have scrapped two of the three handsets that it was planning to introduce in 2012, including one that was originally intended to be the first device to run the BlackBerry 10 operating system, formerly known as BBX.
According to online reports, RIM has cancelled the device codenamed Colt, which was intended to be the first BlackBerry 10 phone, and axed another phone codenamed Milan, which BGR reports ran on the current BlackBerry 7 software and had a slide-out keyboard similar to the Torch.
If the rumours are true, this leaves just one BlackBerry 10 device in the works, codenamed ?London?. Photos and specs of the BlackBerry London were leaked in November 2011, showing a purely touchscreen device equipped with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage and an 8-megapixel camera.
The rumours do not bode well for the future of BlackBerry 10, which RIM was forced to rename last month after its use of the BBX brand ran into a trademark dispute in the US. The company has already delayed the launch of its QNX-based devices until the "later part" of 2012, claiming that it wants to use a more advanced chipset that will offer improved power efficiency.
