Storm4? Really? I want to see something...anything...on Storm3. Now here's an article that mentions both, then hits me up with "augmented reality" to boot?
Augmented reality. Whatever. This present reality is bad enough; if it gets any kind of a boost, I think I'll throw up.

I'm pretty sure if any touch screen, it will be the Bold Slide. best of both worlds.

To my way of thinking, any device (non-touchscreen) that isn't expected to make full use of all the features in the fancy new OS6, can hardly be considered the flagship device.
Now that's just my opinion. I have never read/heard RIM refer to the Storm as their flagship line. Maybe we should start a poll  | The 9000 is a 2yr old device now.
Well, you can google "RIM flagship" and tell me what you see.

Ok man. I do u know what version of google you used. Mine was full of Bold, 9700 and 9650 articles. Not one Storm article. I bet the Bold Slider is the Flagship for this year.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | Yeah, I was messin' with you a little bit... I googled "Blackberry flagship" found references to both Storm and Bold. 
A lot of the Bold links referred to 9650.

Agreed Mashiro. Someone just stringing together rumors and then sprinkling in some anonymous quotes from unnamed sources.
RIM clearly has gone totally black on the S3. I'd love to know more, but after WES I don't have much hope for it being competitive at all with an iPhone HD (which it now soonfa would hit VZW around the same time or just after an S3) or an incredible or whatever the curent offerring from android is at that time.

And I've heard the phrase "iPhone killer" before. Anyone remember the hype around the Storm 1? We all know how that turned out. I myself have seen tons of people using the iPhone and only once seen anyone use a Storm. RIM has to focus on making an easy-to-develop-for and visually-attractive OS 6 - something other than the very mildly refreshed OS 5 that I saw running in the recent clamshell video. That's the only way to make an iPhone killer.
Heck, I'd be happy if the Storm 3 were a well-executed device, with a smooth OS and ergonomics - both physical and virtual - at launch, and solid developer buy-in.
Anyways, I'll believe it when I see it.

Is it really necessary to have an iPhone killer? It did it's thing. It changed the way these companies make phones. We can see unrest in the way Apple does business, in it's stale OS (which is getting many much-needed competitive features in OS 4) and the device design. (4G looks a thousand times better than those iPod Touch's with microphones ie 2G/3G/3GS) There will be nothing in the next few years that will kill the iPhone, but eventually someone (probably an Android phone, or maybe even HP whenever they do their thing with WebOS) will make a phone that blows the iPhone out of the water and then we'll need a million and three threads on here about the next _________ killer. People thought nothing would ever outsell the Razr. Titanic was the highest grossing movie of all time. RIM ruled smartphones. Things will eventually change, and that's just the way it goes, there's no need to keep making these kinds of comparisons 3 devices after the first 'iPhone killer' came out from RIM.
I personally don't give a sh*t whether the Storm3 has a glowing red eye and hunts iPhones while using voice command to tell me to get the chopper. I just want it to work well, bring some new things to the table, and have SurePress. If there's anything to take / believe from this article, it's the improved SurePress. I seriously hope this finally shuts up all the people whining for full capacitive Storms.
All I can say is, I told you it wasn't going to happen.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.como | Sadly, you've got a point, Mas. By the time RIM comes out w/ the Storm 3, it'll have the specs to go head up w/ the iPhone 3GS, HTC Hero and the like. And by the time the Storm 4 comes through, it'll have the specs to battle the near-released iPhone 4G and new Androids (Evo, Incredible)! *Sigh* It's like RIM's literally always a year behind!
I'm sure its been said before, but now its even more evident - if Apple/Android conceive some way to make their own way or concept of push email for all email avenues as fast and reliable as a BB.......then RIM's REALLY gonna have its battery pulled.....for good.

An iPhone killer man i don't know how many times i've heard this one. How about they aim to kill android first. these specs don't even keep up with the current Moto Droid, and surely not the Incredible. and they expect to beat the iconic iPhone cut me a break. What will it be running that all some awesome Blackberry UI? the consumers are going to flood the streets for sure when this one comes out.
