THE-COOL-GUY-REPORT: What's RIM Cooking These Days?

It might sound like a joke to many, but RIM's new phone goes by the codename "Mr. T". Yep, you read correctly, Mr. T is the codename for one of their latest phones in development.

What exactly is a "Mr. T"?

Mr. T is a QWERTY Keyboard Slider the size of a Storm with a full touchscreen.

This is not a rumor anymore, RIM is actually working on this phone full force, although its at a very early stage of development.

Another thing I know about it is that the ON/OFF and SEND/CANCEL buttons are on the screen, although anything can change at this point, except the fact, of course, that we will be getting a Slider from RIM.

Also, its not like a Sidekick, the keyboard here will come underneath the bottom of the phone, BUT then again, anything can change.

The question here will be to everyone out there: Will this be a Storm 3 or a completely NEW device?

What do you think?

that was mentioned in the podcast.

Yes it was, but Sal posted about it.

Figured it should be thrown up on here.

Damn I hope this isn't released the sliders are just a bit of a gimick I think cause with a touch screen I would always use the touch screen for typing it justdoesnt apeal to me sorry rim but if u ever want anyone to test it u can try and change my mind

If that is the case, then I may have found my next blackberry, by the time it is out (with a little extra for shakedown) I'll be eligible or a new phone.
