AND AS FOR THE CRACKBERRIES...

BLACKBERRY BOLD

Also slated to come out in July will be the Blackberry 9000, or the Bold. The Blackberry Bold will be sold exclusively by AT&T for a few months and will most prominently feature 3G and a new User Interface (UI). As I blogged about in March, this Blackberry is the first phone that's made me wanna ditch my iPhone because the exterior is pretty slick and the UI looks fresh.



BLACKBERRY THUNDER 9500

For the Verizon kids, Blackberry maker RIM, should be announcing the yet to be named Blackberry 9500, though the name Thunder is going around. This device is slated to be released in the 3 Quarter of the year and will feature a touchscreen. I know touchscreens look slick but I heard that Blackberry wasn't into making them because physical keys made better sense to them, so it's an interesting about face.
