BlackBerry Slider Forum Now Open!

When it comes to the CrackBerry Forums we have a rule - once photos of a new pre-release device emerge that's when it gets its own dedicated forum. That said, we have officially opened the BlackBerry slider forum. To go along with the forum opening, we also have the original unwatermarked images that surfaced last night. Funny thing. It turns out they were originally posted on this CrackBerry forum thread by a member before they were watermarked and posted by another site. At least we know where they got their photos from and they say more are on the way soon so I still look forward to that. Another unwatermarked photo is below. Earlier today we cleared up some of the rumors around the BlackBerry slider, but there's still a ton to talk about, so enjoy the new BlackBerry Slider forum and put it to good use!!

the is epic fail from rimm... this is gonna go the way of the pearl flip no one is gonna buy this trash when you have the magnum coming.. leave that sliding crap for palm.. matter fact mr rubenstein is prolly gonna have that next pixi look like a bold 9700 and call it the pixi 2.. i work for sprint i cant wait for the bold 9650 to come, also cant wait for that palm c40 if rimm doesnt do something with this boring os then im out when palm releases excellent hardware webos is second to none hopefully palm will survive.

do you know what the Tour 2/Bold is going to look like anymore? Do you know if its going to be the same 9650 phone that you still have today or something different?

Kevin Michaluk

Sounds like the original "essex" is now becoming more "onyx" like. So it should look more like the 9700 than 9630 when it hits from what I have gathered so far.

mjbesen310

thank you for the answer. I posted your answer in the Tour2/Bold forum so others can see what the latest rumors are so far if you dont mind...

thanks again Kevin!

The droid what a joke if you can't admit that thing is ugly then you got problems

leilani_J

agreed. the motorola droid is one fugly phone.

grundyman

please tell me your a woman. if you arent , then lets stick to the script. please put any bb that you think is hot up against the droid... ill do better then that . ill let you put two of them against it ...

ive owned four of them over the last six years . the 7250, 8830, 9530, and the 9550.

with that said , the droid blows bb out of the water. with all your battery pulls , your 232 apps , and dont get me started on that browser. and that same old bullshitting os since my first bb.

and you want to talk about jokes , do your self a favor and trade that thing in soon as possible

Never Mind working on new hardware !! They have plenty of models out at present. RIM should concentrate on a new OS/UI as Android, iPhone and other smartphones are leaving us berry users behind. Don't get me wrong I love my BlackBerry but you have to admit the OS is dated now and far from as slick and graphically pleasing as others out there. With a slick OS/UI and the existing functionality we already have, the BlackBerry would be the smartphone/Pda to rule all.

I was thinking the the touch screen with the click screen would of caught on. Since my carrier dosent' have it and I am not about to make an ass of myself with an unlocked one I don't have one (Storm 2). Lets hope it will look better when released or have a better UI. That needs work really bad.

RIM chose function over form.

dcorx

looks cool, however just a little long, gunna have to wait till its in my hands to judge anymore

Strakerc

I think you people are nuts for saying this is ugly...looks fine to me.

And thank god it actually has a PORTRAIT (aka a useful) slide out keyboard; typing in landscape on touch screen is fine, its portrait that can be a little cramped.

mitchknowsbest

This is an epic disaster for RIM. As an avid user and lover for 4+ years, I find this design tasteless and fugley, as in palm pre fugley. Please scrap this RIM. I will definitely be seeking a new smartphone provider if this is the future of Blackberry.

jeeves86

The keyboard looks a little cramped--I wouldn't be surprised considering it's a slider. Looks a little flimsy, too, I wouldn't consider using that thing for work like my Bold.

CatAlex

Not so impressive...

erleb

Personally i think that's more interesting than debating whether it's ugly or not (it's not). I'd love to know about internals, camera, os etc..

ianig9

Yes, I agree. More specs would be very good to know. Have they doubled the RAM for apps? Auto focus camera (please)? Webkit browser?

Looking forward to hearing more...

INKGUY79

This looks cool but rim needs to come up with something better then what is on the market.

I was always looking for a BB phone with a similar construction like the Palm Pre. I am very happy I will get it! P.S. Are you looking for a phone with good functions, or with a pretty design? Sorry, but phones arent in my opinion jewellery, but usefull devices. Especially the BB.
