Blackberry 9800 Slider Heading To AT&T- Further Confirmation *Updated*
May 23rd
Update – Fresh off the BlackBerry rumor page we have some new info on this device, or is it devices? Well, here it is. This part we can’t can confirm, but we’re hearing rumbles that ATT has already started hands on training for the 9800(that might be where the AT&T splash screen comes in). Another interesting rumor is this, ‘Yes there might be a CDMA…Yes T-Mobile might get it.’ This isn’t exactly the first time we heard about a CDMA model, but will it happen? What do you think, could these rumors hold true? Could it very well be a four-way battle with VZW, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile? It’ll be interesting to see what happens. PS: Camera is rumored to be a 5MP.
We’re back again. We have yet another present for you guys, and this time its carrier specific. As you can see from the picture, it looks like this particular device is ready to get up and go on AT&T.
This particular picture also tells us that this device might be in the late stages of design and testing. If you don’t know that much about prototype BlackBerry devices, on early test devices, they usually don’t have a specific carrier as the splash screen on boot up. Rather just a “Property of Research In Motion” splash screen. So, that is yet another sign that this particular device might already be in testing for AT&T. We’ll keep you guys updated if we get anymore info on the release of this bad boy, but until then have fun drooling over the latest pictures.
The BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Running The New Webkit Browser
May 21st
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
