Curious as to what this phone is?

GREAT PICS! Where did you get this device from? Ive never seen that. it looks like a pre with a Crackberry twist. Im a little bit surprised it looks more like a bold (trackpad+ four buttons) rather then the Storm.

You sure it doesn't say "BlueBerry" on the top?

Looks like "BlackBerry" to me. Only reason I think so is the letter next to the second "B" is just as tall as the "B."

This could be the slider lots of people have been waiting for. I'm sure it won't be in the Storm series though.

Edit: Forgot to throw in: No offense to you gavin.caissie, but could be photo-shopped pics but judging from what I see here we need higher quality to really tell.

I'm not sure it'd be called a Curve either. It has a completely different form factor than any other BB... so my completely uneducated guess says it will have its own unique name. Hopefully if this makes it to the market it will have a more refined look by then.

We really need some more info about this, more pictures maybe, and what did the OS look like?

Wow, this is pretty cool. Kinda looks like a Storm sized screen with an optical trackpad and a Bold form factor/trim ring. From the looks of it, there's no Surepress at least as we know it, so either touchscreen (haptic??) or trackpad only. I'd slightly lean towards the latter, simply because I could see this as RIM keeping with their "bread and butter" keyboard layout, but allowing a larger screen for more media rich apps. OP, I can't wait to see it powered up!

This thread is going to make the front page for sure!

Wow, this could be the slider BGR was talking about last week.

This is the style of BB I've been wanting and hope this is legit. That definitely says blackberry at the top. Do you have any better pics or more info?
