It seems that with every day, more and more evidence appears to shown that RIM is going to produce a touchscreen slider with a physical QWERTY keyboard. We recently reported that the device, now known as the 9800, was spotted on the servers at BlackBerry.net. Now, we get to reveal the latest picture of the device and it appears to be running on OS 6. Last year we heard many Storm owners say that they wish the handset had the Bold's QWERTY keyboard while many Bold owners were pining for a touchscreen device. Both sides could end up getting what they want, although the handset remains a unicorn until RIM makes it official.
