What the? No credit for me for mentioning the screen matchup?

[JRSCCivic98]

OK, now just for fun...

imagine this


plus this (the OS/UI part)



equals this... (pardon the quick job)

[Masahiro]

Ok, why did it get moved here... Rumoured Devices forums, maybe...

[JRSCCivic98]

Dunk mods? lol Or better yet... it's a scramble to cover it up! Dum dum DUM!!!

Yey!, looks like it's finally in an appropriate forum. lol

Mods are never "dunk"...we do on occasion enjoy a few drinks and might end up drunk..

Ok, maybe I'm just speaking for my self. lol

[Masahiro]

"Dunk", eh? Now who's been drinking?

Seriously though, based on the screens, think the size is comparable to the 9000? I know a lot of people have been wanting RIM to continue releasing more phones the size of the original Bold, myself included.

It was my bad y'all. And sadly, I am completely sober. Drunk I might have got
it right

[qbnkelt]

Ooooo.....I like it!!!!! How likely is it that the basic design will stick? does anyone know? I read what was on the front page, I'm hoping for additional info....

I applaud RIM for going slider, but this is horrible. It looks like a Motorola Q, a Bold and an Audiovox Slider had a three way. I've been pushing berries for years but RIM seems to be lacking in the creativity department. I hate to stray but the HTC Incredible is looking like my next phone. But, maybe this isn't the final hardware and I can stay. I hope.

I am glad RIM chose to avoid a horizontal slider. I for one think they look very 13-year old skaterish, aka very unprofessional. A vertical slider on the other hand is something I could rock. I'm excited

I wonder how thick it is

[BzB]

the slider was inevitable. they made the right decision in going vertical with it, their existing keyboards can snap right in. should put the pre keyboard to shame.

That's what she said.

[escentz]

im so in love with this device...

[prozart]

Wow, very excited about this! I've always been a fan of vertical sliders. There was a separate section for this under upcoming devices, 9700a, but it got deleted before I could look in there. ]=

Apparently you never saw all the HTC sliders that looked professional and were produced for the business sector.

OMG I want this so bad!!!

[mjbesen310]

so much for all the nice Berrybuzz type of apps for the LED....we wont be able to see any kind of LED light with that small little Pin hole LED light now

[kazn3r]

it'd be great if someone finally mocked a fake prototype and posted it. haha.

i'm not stating a fact, only an opinion.

[xkillaz4x]

I think it looks incredibly old school. The design looks terrible and not sleek at all. Especially with the screen not spanning from side to side. They should make it look more like the storm imho.

[mixoplex]

They should make it horizontal so you can have the keyboard much bigger and put a second trackpad on there also.. It would be perfect...Its looks like a Palm Pre device.. Come On RIM....

Well if it does not have UMA I am not gonna even think about it.
