So there’s been rumors going around about RIM (Research in Motion) putting out a touchscreen blackberry device for direct competition with the iPhone. I’ve been doing some minor research on it, because it will be exclusive for Verizon Wireless (for whom I work and where my contract lies). There are a couple designs floating around the internet of what its going to look like, the one below is the only one i found that has the screen turned on or at least edited to seem like what the screen would look like.
I hope this is how it ends up looking. Supposedly we should have it in our stores (Verizon stores) by the end of the year. I want to get my hands on one to see if its going to be as good as it seems. It seems like it really will be just as good as the iPhone as far as functionality is concerned. My only con is that the iPhone is an apple device and thus has the Mac OS X operating system, whereas Blackberrys have their own operating system. But if it looks like the picture I’ve posted, I will be very content with the Blackberry Thunder.
More posts to come as I learn more information about it I’m sure.
Awesome..
