The first images of an upcoming L-Series BlackBerry smartphone have been leaked thanks to photo-sharing service Instagram and other online sources. The leaked images show the BlackBerry 10 OS app launcher as well as a few of the pre-installed apps which include BBM, Facebook, and DocsToGo. The leaked images also show BBM video as an option among the standard list of features.
