Holding onto the BlackBerry Bold 9900 for the first time, we’re utterly amazed at how thin this BlackBerry really is! Measuring at 10.5mm thick, it’s naturally one slim looking smartphone, but considering that it packs...

Yeah, let's hope. Let's hope they follow it with a classy "touch" device as well, one that appeals to people not wanting a huge screen, and 3.7" is enough. Let's hope they get the "Torch 2" out as well, with the 1.2 G processor and the screen with enough muscle to pick up some new fans. Enough to keep Blackberry alive and respected. A couple low end devices, no bugsin the system, very little freezing, more Apps...

Let's just hope...

Bigger screen and a bigger keyboard, this is the best solution for us who are not comfortable on typing on a touch screen. The hardware is also good. It looks great. I Love it, I will give it a try.

RIM already said that it's going to launch in "very late August" or September at the earliest. Please be at least somewhat informed when you write an article. It looks like a great phone for RIM, but doesn't do anyone any good when it's not actually available!

The hardware looks good, and it unveils some new features, but i really don't see this being the savior for the company, if the Playbook couldn't, how can this.

ive had almost every blackberry in recent memory, currently using the bold with verizon. rim should just get with the program and release their own droid.

All major companies, the F500, use Blackberries and always will. The use and ease of email composition, creating documents, the fantastic BBM feature...this phone has everything that all other platforms will never have. Yes, the iPhone is charming for a moment and Android is making itself the main competitor for Apple, but the aforementioned phones aren't "competition" for each other.
