Blackberries have always been mundane, utilitarian business devices with little to no appeal for young people. They’re more of a badge of adulthood; receiving one means your dreams of youth have been squashed and you’re locked into a cubicle calculating expense reports. RIM may be trying to change that image. Check out these concept pics of a possible Blackbery 9000 series device with a slideout keyboard, a-la Sidekick fame. There’s also a rumored optical touchscreen which RIM has supposedly been developing for a while. If they emblazoned these with plastic diamonds and anime stickers the kids might just eat these up.
Maybe not just the kids. Anyone who needs to make a long email or works mostly with texting may enjoy this phone. I’ll buy it, thats for sure.
hey i like to find out when this phone is going to come out because i would like to purchase one…
well this phone is very nice bhut it looks kind of old style.
i have the storm and i always wished the blackberry came out with this type of style full keypad because some times a touch screen just DOESNT CUT IT… i want to feel buttons! but if the style of the phone was upgraded and/or come in different color (ex. WHITE) i would absolutely buy this phone. Also if it was carried by Verizon id be happy haha =) thx
i would really buy this phone. because it has a full keyboard and is touch screen. and i like the blackberrys. i jus always wanted to git one that was full keyboard. if this phone does come out i will be saving my pennys and selling my behold to git it. i really think this one is going to sell really good. and a lot more teens liks myself will buy it.
