Lordy of Lord, that is a giant ugly piece of ****!
I really don't know what Rim is thinking now a days. I've loved the design of almost all of rims devices, but they just seem to get uglier and uglier every time.
The only good side to seeing this, is we get more screen shoots of what 6.0 is going to look like .

Self Edit ... LOL! my **** up atop is not actually a swear word , I just typed p o o p !
Thought I'd share that with everyone.
Man this is way out of left field!!! Kinda like it... I think this might be more useful form factor than the slider... But WHOA!!! Talk about unexpected!
So GSM will get slider and CDMA gets flip??
Not clear from article if it's touch-screen... Might not be... Nice to see 5 MP cam and larger screen... But a bummer res isn't higher... 360x480 is rather lame...
Overall it's interesting... Would like to play with in person

While I personally don't like the look of the device, I just don't understand why people need to overreact.
Clearly sprint or verizon still see a market for another clamshell even if plenty of us don't like them, but it is only one device in the blackberry range and you are free to choose the one that suits you best.
Personally, I expect I'll go for the slider when it comes out as it gives me a large screen without the downside of giving up a physical keyboard, but other people will prefer other form factors.
I think it's a unique little piece...haven't had a clamshell in a while.
We haven't had any solid BB news in months and all of a sudden it's a flood. I'll be interested in learning more about this and whatever else BB plans to show at WES.
