and stick to my trusty Bold 9650

please enter me in this contest even though the outter screen is pretty much a FAIL.

You entering a contest to win the style? Lol

I want to put it in my hand and see how it feels. Though I'd probably never pick it, I'd be interested to see what it feels like in hand.

I wonder how it will feel in the hand. I think my wife has set her mind on this one. She wants to get away from the purse-dialing.

I also think this device is more for people who have never owned a BlackBerry before.

No more flip BB's please! Give Sprint a touch screen BB, ill even take a Storm 2 refresh!!!!

To everyone saying they want to put it in their hand, maybe do a double entendre check before you post. Just some friendly advice.

I'm keeping an open-mind about the 9670. The newer videos on it make it seem fairly sleek.It can't be any worse then the Pearl Flips....Can it?

this phone still exists? please RIM, do us all a favor and SCRAP this fast.

Pass! Pass! Pass! Pass! Pass! Pass! Pass!

makes me love my 9700 even more

The above image looks to be that of the BlackBerry 9670 in all it's clamshell glory.

This has got to be the fifth time I've told you that "it's" equals "it is," and not the possessive meaning that you continually use it as.

It really should not be that hard for you to learn the difference. You're not some kid typing in his mother's basement.

...Unless you are.

Why all the hate?

Maybe it will fail to get approval? LOL!

This ones just a waste.

The first pics looked pretty bad but the recent ones don't. I think this is a very nice "lady" phone. I don't think men will buy it, but they aren't the whole market and neither are the techno nerds that read crackberry - me included :-)

They obviously cain't keep up with the Androids and iphones so now they start attacking the flip phone market. HAHAHAHA!! Hilarious. This confirms that RIM can no longer hang with the Big Dogs.

The FCC should actually BAN this phone 9670...etc enough with the numbers, you might fool someone into thinking this is a phone worth getting.

There is a market for this device otherwise RIM would not be making it. Kind of the same thing with the new Curve 3G. I would not want one, but someone does. And they probably are not on this site LOL

I see comments from supposed power users disparaging this device but I really like the looks of it. I might buy one even with Sprint or Verizon...though I do wish it was a GSM device.

I always get humor out of reading comments on new devices and such. Everyone is always putting RIM down and if I hear one more comment about droid and how much better it is I think im going to vomit. No one is MAKING you idiots stick with Blackberry. If you think they are going to release a device that has a better wow factor than the Droid X keep dreaming. RIM could really give a shit. They still own the Smartphone market and that is not because of 8mp cameras or 1ghz processors. Its because they have the easiest most user friendly devices on the market. If you want a Droid or Iphone so bad then just leave RIM and get one. No one is making you people come to Crackberry and bitch about RIM!

I love my bb and RIM, but this device is a swan song if I ever saw one.

The blackberry OS does not require a 1ghz processor. And if it did, what does RIM provide that would totally utilize a processor of that speed? Let's consider other issues where other OS's lack. Adobe has already at min, released 2 updates for security issues for flash, and as stated many mobile OS devs have said that Flash is a resource hog. Google market is attempting to secure keylogging, and gps tracking oversea apps. Apple has had incidents of peoples itunes accounts being hacked and multiple purchases for specific apps being purchased.

As stated earlier. RIM don't care about what we say. They provide for their customers and stock holders. Although they might not be the most outrageous cutting edge design and OS, they just do what a BB has been known to do and continue to do it well. In a corporate world security is the #1 priority I had a samsung moment before this, and with the data lock up issue that should be a class action lawsuit, I told Sprint I just want a smartphone that "just works." And I know I can get a BB and know it will perform as it should.

As far as this phone...has anyone seen the pricing? And it don't sound like a Sprint Exclusive anymore as speculated before. So the larget carrier in the US must see some promise in this phone as well. Some people just want a phone that they can put in there front pocket of jeans. And the fact someone will be able to do it and have Blackberry confidence backing that up is not a bad move. This is perhaps something that they saw with the numbers sold and various statistics from the pearl flip and are rolling with it.

And to who posted about feeling like they were stuck in a contract with a BB. Nothing stops anyone from selling on Ebay and Craiglist. BB's sell pretty good and after you sell it, you can almost offest the cost difference from full price and contract price and never lose your upgrade. People do it all the time.

Awe man people are so dramatic!! I can't even tell what the heck it looks like from this one stupid picture and most of you are flipping out. Lol! To me it looks like the BACK of my storm. How about before people go and spike their blood pressure, let the phone come out and actually see how it is. Or at least wait for a better picture.

...I'm just sayin, some people just get so worked up it makes me laugh.

Ill take one. Has more features then the Lotus which I like. Not everyone wants a 5 inch all touchscreen phone & to squash any stereotypes. No Im not a girl & Im not that old only thirties not that that matters lol but you know people post crazy stuff saying those are the demographics for liking this phone. I hope it proves everyone wrong and sells alot I think those that still like clamshells will def buy.

And you would saying anything to boost up some RIM crap. Fact is the majority on this site hate this phone, they took more than on poll, so it isnt trolling. This phone sucks and is suck in the past like RIM

:)

To my left sits a Tour User
I, a Storm2 user in the middle,

Tour user: hates it
Me: I like it
Cell Phone-less coworker says he'd buy it.

Looks like a good phone for certain people. I wouldn't want it but I'm sure there are plenty that would. Choices are a huge part of why Blackberry is so successful. If you need a phone with 5 inch screen that plays high def movies, blackberry isn't for you. My buddy showed me his new Android the other day, pointed it at the sky and said, "Look, it shows you the names of all the stars in the sky." He got so mad at me because I couldn't stop laughing. I told him I couldn't imagine carrying that giant phone in my pocket to watch movies and find constellations. But hey, he loves it. Choices, because everyone is different.

It reminds me a lot of the Curve. So why call it the Sytle? It's more of a "Curve Flip" kinda like the "Pearl Flip".
