Good ‘ol fashion QWERTY key peckin’ just isn’t what it used to be. Touchscreen only input is too finicky not all that it’s cracked up to be. So where does that leave you exactly? Up a particular creek without a paddle according to some — not somewhere you want to be. If RIM’s traditional style BlackBerries and new venture into the touchscreen world just isn’t doing it for you, boy do we have some good news for you! RIM’s much rumored BlackBerry Slider has been spied. And if sources are correct, the phone you see above is in “pretty much near final form” meaning that’s basically what the “real” BlackBerry Slider is going to look like. To those whom it may concern — SurePress will be nowhere in sight.
Right now it’s unconfirmed, but there’s a *high* chance OS 6.0 will come standard and that this is the qwerty + touchscreen model that so many have been begging for over the course of multiple sleepless nights the last few years. Let’s be real though, why wouldn’t that massive screen not be a touchscreen? Consider the touchy feely part a given.
This is one of the best ways to wake up — finding such a treat of a gadget. To say I’m excited is an understatement. I’ve been waiting for a more “modern” BlackBerry for quite some time. This is shaping up to possibly make my next phone choice a rather difficult one to boot. I was super stoked for the Storm only to be let down by it’s less than stellar navigation and horrendous onscreen keyboard. Toss in a “hidden” slide out physical masher (and hopefully a much more revamped OS with 6.0) and you have the recipe for success. Stay tuned..!
