New BlackBerry slider



Best pic possible right now. ■It’s a portrait-oriented slider. While most people assume a device with slideout keyboard would end up being something like HTC’s devices, we’ve been told this particular handset is more like the Palm Pre in terms of layout.
■The phone will run BlackBerry OS 6.0
■The rumored device will 100% support Wi-Fi 802.11n
■The resolution unfortunately has not improved, it is still 360×480.
■No word on if this will have a touch screen, but we’d assume so, and our source alluded to this possibly being what the rumored BlackBerry Magnum/Dakota evolved into. Not saying there won’t be a Bold-like device with touchscreen, optical trackpad, and physical keyboard, but this might be released first.
■If it does have a touch screen, this could in fact be the mythical BlackBerry Storm slider — picture a Storm 9520 with a slide up Bold-esque keyboard.
■The phone will not be a Verizon exclusive — it’s supposed to be a GSM/HSPA device.
