I am just glad to see that this blackberry might actually have a black case, unlike the past few models on VZW that have been either silver, red, or pink.

The gap doesnt suggest a slider to me. We know that this picture is of the outer case only. What is missing, that could explain the gap, is the side metal pieces that RIM has been putting on the blackberrys recently. This outer casing is merely missing the side metal covers.

Oh and Galvatron, shut up!

@CarBob

The RIM ninjas comment gives credability to the picture wether it just be the housing or not…RIM asked for it to be removed, would they do that if it wasn’t real in the first place?

If that was the case BGR would be asked to remove all his previous pics of photchopped devices, all pics get requested to be removed by the original source, anyone else who picks up the pic gets left alone and not requested to remove the pics (in most cases)..RIM unleashed thier ninjas on this one quicktime, but what’s done is done and it’s still just a damn blurry pic anyways lol!!

Looks like this could be legit. But Mr.Blurry Cam is always a bitch to leaked photos.

There will be a proper image of the “Thunder” out within the next two weeks. Will be back to let you know when it’s up.

The device has already been announced for Verizon and Vodaphone, nothing more to that question…lol

SO BG! WHO IS THIS DEVICE FOR? VERIZON OR ATT? LETS SEE IF YOU STILL HAVE YOUR STUFF….

BGR, did your sources relay to you if the unit had a slide out keyboard or was completely touchscreen?

I am sorry but what
Respectable company would release such a horrible picture? That’s completely unprofessional.

Looks to me that this phone opens, slides, or something. Because there is a clear “gaping” at the bottom of this phone.

Real or not real I’m not trusting my bread to some jive ass company that can’t even produce a decent logo – say what you will about VZW but atleast they use high-res images!

I think its a pic of the Blackberry Storm, not the Thunder which explains the look and why its on some weird wireless site.

Here’s info on the patent for the RIM MULTI-TOUCH ui.

It kind of looks like a production model of the patent that RIM filed for a touchscreen with a slide out qwerty.

Hey Bla1ze,

What does “RIM sent their ninjas on them for a reason” mean? No matter how you slice and dice it, this is a very blurry pic, and I don’t know why I’m spending my time trying to figure out what this ‘photoshop’ image is supposed to represent?

First: BG, you’re not slipping. I still love you.

Second: I call BS on this photo. And if it is real, then damn… Ugly.

Get off BGR’s back out blogging about a blurry pic, RIM sent their ninjas on them for a reason further giving credability to the picture, blurry as hell or not.

BG,
Just jokes, your the man, but let us know which 3g chipset is running this baby. Your call on Tavor in the Bold was on point. No every financial tech guru comes to your site for the real scoop, keep it coming!!

BB and Nokia have way too many models. Having an iPhone, I do not follow these brands but they all look and do the same thing. It is too confusing and pretty stupid.

You guys got the housing and those are the best pictures you came up with… damn polaroid cameras..

By: Horizon

Horizon — Sat, 31 May 2008 19:06:53 +0000

Its not the actual phone. Its just the Housing. We got a few sample pictures of the housing. BG your mock up was pretty much on the ball
