Well, here we go again guys. This time we have all three caught on video. Its nice to be able to see more and more of these phones. Check out the videos yourself and make sure to voice your opinions about the new lineup RIM is preparing to launch. Personally I can not wait to get my hands on the 9800 Slider.
Blackberry 9800 Torch/Slider
Blackberry 9670 Clamshell
Blackberry Curve 9300
The next version will be a lot better. I expect a lot less chrome and plastic. :-P
I like the chrome on the 9800
My my my... 9800..... it's..... wow... i'm speechless......... I must have it.. MUST! >.<
but anyway... I told all my friends about RIM is gonna launch a slide phone, and they say to be careful because other slide phone is easy to be broken... there's some slide circuit or whatever that's very vulnerable and very expensive... hope my friends are wrong though...

Working for AT&T I see more broken flip phones then sliders. By about 30-40% more flips. The Flip concept has been around long, so people assume its strong or not as easily broken. That is soo wrong. The Slider is way more durable then the flip.
Is the slider surepress?
Absolutely not.Quote:

Shame RIM - when using the touch pad - keyboard is NOT QWERTY...someone prove wrong PLEASE!!!
Otherwise can't wait to trade in my 9700 when this hits Canada. Love the sexiness of it. Black with classy amount of chrome accents, way I like my cars ;)
Take it from someone who has a Palm Pre Plus, slide phones don't break easy. From my experience, the pre, it didn't even become loose. So, lets hope that RIM did a good job with the build quality too.Quote:
