The BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Running The New Webkit Browser
Today, our tipster decided to be like Santa and pass along a very exciting set of pics for us. The Bold 9800 Slider seems to be the one upcoming BlackBerry device with some good looks, and every day the idea of a touchscreen BB with a full QWERTY keyboard is making more and more sense. We’ve seen similar success with the Motorola Droid, MyTouch 3G, etc., so why can’t RIM get into the game?
This is the same keyboard you know and love from the BlackBerry 9700, mixed with the touchscreen of the Storm series. We don’t yet know if it will be SurePress enabled, but it doesn’t seem likely as most of the text input will be done on the hardware keyboard.
We also see the new WebKit browser with its multiple tabs open and, as we saw previously, its 100% Acidtest3 score. This will ensure that the browser is not only fast, but standards-compliant. Pages will render on the browser as they are meant to on the internet at large.
What do you think? Will this be the phone to win over the masses? Hit the jump for more pictures

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Review
about 3 months ago - View Comments
There is one thing to say about the brand-new AT&T-powered BlackBerry Torch 9800: it starts up a hell of a lot faster than its immediate predecessor, the 9700. That’s kind of the theme of the entire operation: the Torch is a BlackBerry device, but faster, deeper, and similarly infuriating as any before it. The Design
RIM Walks Us Through Recovering A Bricked BlackBerry
about 3 months ago - View Comments
Personally, I’ve never gotten a 507 error without forcing it, but I know people who have ended up with 507 errors or bricked BlackBerrys and had no idea why. One of RIM’s weak points has been educating carriers and subscribers on the 507 error. Pretty much anyone who calls their carriers tech support when their device is bricked, is
Third Dropbox Beta Released For BlackBerry

I got an email in my inbox this morning telling me that Dropbox for BlackBerry beta had been updated to version 3. So far the update has proven quite good, and stability has improved. I am running the app on a BlackBerry Torch 9800, and it seems to be pretty robust. Improvements, according to the
BlackBerry Bold R020 To Replace 9700
about 3 months ago - View Comments
The ink is barely dry on all the wasted Torch 9800 marketing, but, low and behold BlackBerry fan-boys have something else to drool over. Leaks of the BlackBerry 9780 (or R020 as it’s coded on this internal document) have been consistent and now internal documents show that it does exist, with a release date literally

India Planning To Ban Email and BBM By September

The dispute between Research In Motion (RIM) and India might finally be reaching a breaking point as the Indian government has set a final compliance date of August 31. The disagreement stems from the Indian government wanting access to secure BlackBerry communications such as email and BlackBerry Messenger. If RIM fails to comply and open

This Week In BlackBerry 8/1-8/7
about 3 months ago - View Comments
There’s been a lot of BlackBerry news this past week, but the Torch 9800 seems to be most prevalent. Everyone wants to give their 2 cents on how the Torch will stack up to iPhone and Android run devices. Yes RIM is definitely behind in the touch screen game and the Torch isn’t the device to
Live Images of BlackBerry 6 on the Bold 9650 Appear
about 3 months ago - View Comments
As a Bold 9650 owner I have been following BBleaks pretty closely for a chance to get a leaked version of BlackBerry 6 onto my Bold. The last few days have been pretty interesting with lots of teaser tweets and even time frames for when the leak would be available. Unfortunately those leaks haven’t come

Oh I hope that it won't have the same sure press touchscreen. BB should release a non surepress version for their touch screen devices.

having a trackpad and being labeled as Bold 9800, doesn't make sense it has a touchscreen…
the storm doesn't have a trackpad so why would the 9800 have one if it were touchscreen??? it's pure logic

i highly doubt we'll see surepress since it has a physical keyboard.

that Rogers name up top sure put a big ol' smile on my face. Very excited for the upcoming two months. i predict the phone will be available by next month in both the states and canada, and if not by then, then july or augest for sure. for canada at least. at&t will have it by next month.

Would you feel comfortable in a car that has no controls and is guided by a sole touch screen? i wouldnt want to have a computer without a mouse, even if it is a touchpad on a laptop, its still more reliable than a touch screen. I have seen the touch screens at work go out several times causing us to resort to a keyboard and mouse.

AWESOME ill take 3 please

The comments regarding seeing it here in Canada very soon are hopeful! Now will Telus be that smart??Have to say i like the looks of this phone. Come on release date!

I disagree the point of making a storm was for it to have sure press thats what you call, a different phone experience and patented. this phone is more likely a non surepress Great idea since the keyboard is physical dont forget theres a trackpad now another reason why it wouldnt have sure press.
no virtual keyboard then why have surepress. a trackpad present. A bit of common sense can help understand the people of this world.

Since this is A BlackBerry. This phone will sell like hot spaced out browines. new browser, os 6. what else can i say. every one whos had a BB and knows that there KeyBoards are awesome. i might stick Around For good while to see the phone get popular… ever one know the Palm pre has a crappy keyboard And A COUPLE OTHER sliders type phones arent so good either an i know i dont get use to something thats crappy. but this is a BB, there QWERTY keyboards dont get out of style at all but just keep getting better!!

This Blackberry slider is sweet! I love the full screen + full keyboard, it's very much like the Palm Pre, which is a good thing. I think this will sell like hot cakes once it hits the market!

I'm Damn! This is THE PERFECT MACHINE!!!
I'm in Canada…. will I have to bring this froms States??

uhm, you do know RIM's a Canadian company, right?
about 4 months ago
It will be on AT&T in the States. There is no word on which CANADIAN provider is carrying it. Through 2 released videos one with actual commentary it is CLEARLY demonstrated that this is a TRUE touchscreen and performs like the iphone. In all the videos its running OS 6. But not the final release. From what I've scene if that isn't the final release then this phone may just be able to talk after RIM is all said & done! (joke)
FINALLY RIM/BlackBerry is stepping up & FINALLY listening to their customers.
Question is: Is it too much too late?
