The BlackBerry Thunder 9500 will be coming soon!
For a long time now the web has been filled with rumours of the BlackBerry Thunder, now with leaked photos appearing on the web its seems like the Thunder is set to go ahead.
This may be a big venture for BlackBerry seeing that this will be their first fully touch-centric phone however with their current dominance in the business phone market, this may prove to be a winner.
Isn’t it funny though how these photos leak just days before the launch of apples new 3G iphone? A genuine coincidence or maybe a big warning to Apple that they are in for some stiff competition.
The BlackBerry Thunder 9500 will run on OS 4.7, be fully touch-centric and will sport a 2.5" 65K color touchscreen TFT display with 360 x 480 pixels resolution.
In addition to this it will be a hybrid device working on GSM and EV-DO networks supporting EDGE/HSDPA and built-in GPS.
It not known as yet what the internet browser will be like, or the processor speed but if the Thunder is set to battle the iphone it will have to pull out big guns and offer a rich array of features to dazzle the crowd.
With The HTC diamond and Samsung Omnia, scheduled for release this year it looks like Apple will have to battle to retain their position on the smart-phone podium.
The BlackBerry Thunder 9500 will be exclusively available to Vodafone customers, however its pricing has not been confirmed as yet.
