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.
