Lookin' good! Make your way to Boost Mobile. Please, please!

Hate that Sprint isn't prob going to get a Touch screen BB but this new Style will do till they do... i am actually liking the phone more and more... plus it's a BlackBerry... I'm not complaining at all... people sound like douches when they complain about specs and what this phone has and what this one doesn't...

I have to admit, this Style is winning me over. I didn't care much for it when I first saw it, but now, its growing on me. I like the simple fact that the screen will not get scratched unless you're really unlucky. I couldn't see the famous little red blinking LED present, so that worries me as I like to have that. I wouldn't say that I'm going to rush out and replace my Bold 9700 with it, but I am not going to say that I wouldn't think about it - it depends on how the Torch compares when in the flesh. But, both will have to be pretty special to replace my Bold.

Who ever is approving phones like this deserves to be shot. No wonder RIM is dying out. Too bad candians cant keep up with Americans

This phone is slick! I might consider it if it ever came to t-mobile (I'm not a big fan of clamshells but this one is nice)

It actually looks better this time around to me.

It's a sad day in Blackberry world when this phone breeds excitement. :(

I'm assuming the name Style is for ironic purposes, as there is nothing stylish about this monstrosity of epic proportions. It is by the far the single ugliest device made in the last decade.

Ya know, it's not as ugly as I thought it was. Still wouldn't get it, I don't want moving parts (if I did I'd get the slider) but it doesn't look too bad.
It should be a touchscreen though; what's the point of having it close if not to protect a touchscreen?

es colombiano ah si or no, gracias.

Love that this video is in Español :)

With the prototypes and hazy shots from before I just didn't find this model worthy of my interest. And the fanboys dissing it didn't help either. But now that I see it in its final form, I actually find it sexy. I'd go as far as saying that I'd buy it if I hadn't just bought a Bold 9650. This is where the candybar fanboys will heckle me, but seriously, it has all our beloved BlackBerry goodness with the latest specs in a sexy flip design, so why the hell not?

This thing is fugly!

This looks good. BUT I just got an OS 5.0Berry (after being stuck with the Pearl Flip mother got me for Christmas). I love my 8530 and would consider the 9650 (love the resolution). But I'm a THEME FREAK!!!...once 6 gets on more Berries then we may see themes...I NEED my transitions...and a BlackBerry WITHOUT the '3G&Berries'...I'm not sure I'm ready to go back to the plain 1xEV yet

Its WHOMever...SINCE we're getting so testy!!!...LOL

"Full-Screen" buttons still don't work on YouTube videos.

I guess I should say Fugly as hell. This thing is revolting, the flip form factor is dead. They should have released a flip Blackberry 4 years ago, when people wanted flip phones.

Seen this vid and still wouldn't touch this thing.... I will admit that they have managed to put some pretty lipstick on this pig and it's almost acceptable as an actual phone.. But.. I will never accept it as my BB...

The nice thing about RIM is that they offer options.
Weather you like touch screen, slider, candy bar, or flip/clamshell, RIM offers them all.
Something for everyone.

Now lol

A form factor for cool chicks!!

*I* would never buy one one.....but my wife sure will!

I showed her the video, and her instructions were simple:

Get.Me.One.

Still don't want it, but I will admit that they have managed to make it look better, especially when open. Are those media control keys under the keyboard? If so, that's actually kinda cool. I didn't watch all of the videos, so maybe they touched on that somewhere. Another plus I noticed is that it seems to run smooth and fast...much more so than the Torch. Or is that just my imagination?

What I really want to know is why the "F" is RIM removing the left convenience key from all the new devices? Are they retahded?

I never condemned it like others on here & now that I've seen it in a video I've got to say that it does look pretty slick. I'm still one of those people who can't pass judgment on a phone unless I've actually had some "hands on" time with it but right now I'm saying it's definitely going to have it's following, just like the Pearl flip does/did.

just personnal opinion, but it look so bad. They really forced themself the to put a flip on a candy bar when got an ugly result

Bet the Style will hold up better than the Torch,physically.

I would consider this phone. Previously, I have stated that I loved flips until my first Berry and couldn't see myself going back, even for a Stylish BlackBerry.

I love my Torch but hate AT&T, so I could see a Style in the distant two-year future.

Around the world.
Daft punk.

To all the haters i guess we need more Bolds in Purple and curve types in hot pink..Im happy to see Rim making a flip smart phone and mixing there lot up alittle..Slab smart phones are everywhere and Rims at least offering a alternative to those who just want something different..Bravo Rim

Looks cool, but I still want the Torch on VZW

nice berry flip! too bad it's on cdma. Hope it'll come out with a gsm version!

I have a feeling that more people will like this phone than expected. I like the looks of it. And I think that it will offer a great alternative for those who want something non-traditional but aren't wiLling to stray from the BlackBerry line. I would definitely be in the market for this if it were released by my carrier.

Didn’t think I’d like it, but I do!
The screen size is impressive against the Storm; it’s smaller but not by much.
It would have to be a GSM version for me though.

It has a nice big screen, full keyboard, small form factor, OS6, protective clam shell design... what's not to like?

I liked it from day one.

if it came to VZ, I'd be in line to get one. I love BB but the same form factor gets old. The different form factors also help to draw in new users who are either using a different platform or who are just getting into their first smartphone. The Pearl, Pearl Flip, the Storms and now the BB Style will help bing diversity to the traditional BB form factor.

Good job RIM, now bring it to vz :)

I'm sorry but every time I see this phone, especially side view for some reason, the urge to grab a hammer & smash it gets stronger

This thing is an insult to beauty.

You know its bad why you have to compare it to older models and try to explain why its "not so bad" in the comments

Craptastic....better be $39.99

Boost mobile class phone

The screen needs to take up the *entire* top section. Whether that means making the top section smaller, or making the screen bigger, it doesn't matter. The absolute minimum bezel width. Then the bottom section has to be made smaller to match. The only chance this phone has is to be a *lot* smaller than the candybar format, with the same features and functionality. Right now, it's a _bit_ smaller.

Looks good for a flip phone I can't wait to get my hands on it!
