BlackBerry 9500 aka Thunder aka Storm aka Apple Killer now has face.
Boy Genius posted a “Live Shot” of BlackBerry 9500 aka Thunder. Picture shows phone layout. RIM phones known for good, hardware keyboard, so it’s going to be interesting to see what OS keyboard will be feature on this phone, it’s clear that it’s going to be a touchscreen. Touchscreen keyboard can kill or make the phone. Interesting fact, it has pause button on the top, so their headphones won’t be as good as Apple’s :) It’s clear that it will be exclusively from Verizon. BoyGeniusReport
And, The BlackBerry Storm, Oops, THUNDER Goes To Verizon!
Do you remember that Apple Killer by RIM? So, as Boy Genius says, this new touchscreen phone will go out with Verizon. So to you all who love Verizon, and already have contracts with it, and want an Apple iPhone, but don’t want to be AT&T and in a crowd with 100 million iPhone owners of 2008, you may wait for, hmm… for August, to get your BlackBerry Thunder! Yeah, smoking hot phone by RIM, it’s gonna kick iPhone in the nuts. Well that’s a pretty smooth move of RIM. They are betting on getting sales from guys not who like their phones, but the carrier. Because if there would be choice of iPhone and BlackBerry, phones with slightly the same features, iPhone would win. I think it’s not because iPhone will be cheaper, it’s something esle, like, brand? :) I don’t know let’s wait for the keynote from Steve Jobs on 9th of June.
