Say hello to the BlackBerry Kickstart

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Looks like BGR has a pretty hot scoop on a new BlackBerry clamshell, codenamed the Kickstart. Apparently, he has known about it for a while, but has been keeping the secret under wraps until these pictures were available. From the looks of things, it's not exactly small, but features a Pearl-esque SureType keypad and a trackball. Both LCD screens look to be pretty large, and there's a camera, but for now thats all we have on specs. The source is claiming "a release date before the end of the year," so we'll keep our ears to the ground as new information emerges.

It could possibly photoshopped off of a Motorola PEBL U9, or something similar.

Could be real.

Looks real to me.

Okay, nevermind.

They look fake when they are small, but when you click on them and see the full size, they look
real.

Ahaha.

of course it doesn't have BB 9000 OS..4.5 isnt even released yet!...no release date for BB 9000
confirmed..Wait a sec!...I thought the reason why people got Curv's and other versions which had
full keyboard was due to the fact that ALOT of people hate the suretype thing..hmm interesting to
see who will buy this phone..I WONT!..hehe

Although i love blackberry and have used one for a couple of years im not impressed by this at all.
The only thing this phone has going for it is the suretype.
