NEWMAN, Justice,
concurring.
Although I concur in the result reached by the Majority, I write separately to clarify the interplay between Rule 1410(B)(1)(c) and Rule 1925(b). The Majority notes that, “the potential for construing Rule 1410 as the exclusive provision for preserving an appellate issue is understandable.” Majority at 420, 719 A.2d at 309. I wish to emphasize that, while such an interpretation of Rule 1410 is “understandable,” it is nonetheless incorrect. Where the trial court orders an appellant to file a Statement of Matters Complained of on Appeal pursuant to Rule 1925(b), Rule 1410(B)(1)(c) will not save any issues omitted from such a statement from being waived.
