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
Second iPhone HD Bought In Vietnam (With Video!)
May 12th
Gizmodo, eat your heart out. Looks like a man in Vietnam has an iPhone prototype of his own reportedly paying $4,000 for it. Sources are saying that it’s slightly different from the Gizmodo model since it, well, works. Cosmetically, the screws on the bottom end of the device have been hidden and the actual storage capacity is listed (instead of XXGB); suggesting a newer prototype version. Furthermore, everyone seems to be all atwitter over Apple’s A4 processor supposedly being in the device. The software on the device is inoperable and just runs something called “Bonfire.” So we cannot see the front facing camera in action, or the flash.
Photos, video and more after the break.
Here’s the translated text from the forum where the news broke:
IPhone second generation appeared in Vietnam 4
After appearing on Gizmodo, 4th-generation iPhone also appeared in Vietnam. The images from diendanapple.vn for similar machines MicroSIM iPad, a front camera for video phone, the back with flash photography at night and especially on the back is made of scratch-resistant sapphire. 16GB capacity is just not double up as a traditional 32GB Apple increased each year. Nonetheless, this 16GB figure shown here is almost complete rather than the more XXGB before. Subtle attempts to synthesize and search “hit area” in the phone as soon as possible. Sources said some machines are being offered for sale for about $ 4,000 in the U.S. black market.
It’s a little bit rough, but the point gets across. We can all be pretty sure that this is not some hoax, this is undeniably the next iPhone. I’d be lying if I said the design didn’t get me excited. It so very much does. That being said, seeing this stuff break early is a bit heart breaking. Like finding your birthday presents three months early in your parent’s closet. The whole ordeal is too soon and ruins the surprise.

BlackBerry OS6 Screenshots And Details! Finally!
Apr 20th
Boy Genius Report seems to have their hands in a lot of pots, but this one is a doozy! They have released pics and details of RIM’s new BlackBerry OS which they claim to be out, on the market, by June/July.
The screenshots look interesting, certainly more usable and touch-friendly than the current OS. It will be interesting to see how they translate the touch-enables features like gestures and press-and-hold on non-touch BB’s, but at this point, any information is good information.
Not a whole lot more to say here, so hit up BGR and enjoy the ride! Phew, what a couple of days, huh?
