2010 might bring a significant improvement to future BlackBerry phones. While we don’t have any leaked documents filled with future RIM projects, we do know that upcoming BlackBerry smartphones will come with front-facing cameras ready for video-conferencing. Sources from inside RIM have confirmed this although RIM hasn’t issued an official statement about BlackBerry video chat capabilities. So there you have it folks, early next year we should at least have the first BlackBerry handsets capable of adding one important feature to your already busy life: video calling!
