Blackberry Kickstart? A Clamshell Blackberry. Huh?
Posted by Chris Leckness on 05/1/08 in Blackberry, RIM
Weird. While I am trying out the Blackberry scene for the 1st time right now, I am looking towards some of the full qwerty Blackberries rather than another limited keypad version and then all of a sudden, BGR breaks some BIG news about a little Blackberry.
We’ve been holding this info for a while now trying to confirm it, but no more! We have here pictures of a new BlackBerry device. It is a BlackBerry clamshell — a flip phone and codenamed the Kickstart! Let me repeat this. This isn’t fake, this isn’t a hoax. We’ve known RIM is planning to launch a flip phone within the year, and we now have the pictures to prove it!
This is quite interesting though. RIM is going after consumers with this one I suspect. The photo that BGR has thrown out there shows a similar text entry, trackball, and nav buttons to the Pearl I am using right now.
