someone from crackberry works for a company (he wont disclose where) but he claims that the chocolate coming to verizon will be the bl42 not the bl40…

@tande,
Thanks. I just thought that the pics were taken using a fish eye lens or something. Wonder what OS it will be running.

Looks nice, but maybe difficult to operate one-handed. As it is, I have enough trouble reaching the opposite top corner on an iPhone, this looks even more awkward in that sense.

Aside from that I’m guessing that the odd aspect ratio wouldn’t display anything really full screen, just use the excess on the sides for controls.

Yay, this is exactly what I need. I only have one leg, when I’m not using my phone, I can use it as a prosthetic leg! Yay for me!

Not feeling the UI. I think The phone looked better on the video than these pictures.

BL40 please come to Verizon and please don’t name it chocolate…it’s like Samsung releasing a Glyde 2 bad / horrible idea.

something tells me that the BL40 wont fit into my pocket very easily…
and it reminds me of the samsung p2/p3 as well…

@Cliff: There is no camera distortion there if thats what you’re asking. Thats what the phone looks like.

By: Cliff

Cliff — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:46:01 +0000

Oops, meant to say or is it the camera used to take it.

By: Cliff

Is the phone really that slim or is the camera used to take it? It looks nice, but I wonder how the 21:9 screen would work.

@Robert: They’re not. Wrong kind of phone.

@Ari: How do you figure? Seems like its going to have all the current common and sought after functions and then some.

Exactly what I thought, Samsung mp3 player.
Maybe they stole their design guy ala Palm.
Plus you won’t look stupid holding a
universal remote to your face, not at all.

If Verizon gets the BL40, I’m switching carriers to get it. If they release the BL42 instead, probably not.

Isn’t this just the razr for a new generation? It may(?) look cool, but that’s it.

Sounds like the write-ups I read on woot.

Thats a good thing

Same goes for anything that is a slap in Apple’s face!

BB for life!

I like how the multitasking button is an open slap to the face directed at Apple. Looks pretty interesting, but it really reminds me of the Samsung line of MP3 players.
