You may remember when we first advertised about BlackBerry Pearl with a traditional keypad. Months later, we find that device turns out to be the Pearl 9105 with the T9 keypad. Now we have got information that there is an entry level BlackBerry Slider Device in the works.
Following up on the RIM’s first slider phone, the BlackBerry Torch 9800, rumour has it the next one will be slighter and cheaper. The reduced size suggests that such a device would have a condensed keyboard like the Pearl models, but that’s just fun with Photoshop at this point.
The BlackBerry Curve 9300 is the predecessor of RIM’s current entry-level appliances, and for itself it wouldn’t be astounding to see this rumoured phone with the same QVGA display and 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera without flash. It’s likely they would trench the touch capabilities and opt for a trackpad-only experience to save on costs. Certainly a slighter, lower-resolution display would help on that front too. notwithstanding the lower-grade specs, odds are good that if this new slider does ever see the light of day, it’ll launch with OS 6, complete with WebKit browser, universal search, and other UI improvements over the old platform.
