New BlackBerry Device 9670?

What is BlackBerry thinking? A clam shell style device? How far behind in time is RIM actually? It looks like the 9630, 8530 and the Pearl Flip merged into one, which will get you the 9670. Either way, it's solid evidence thanks to BGR that there is a clam shell device in the works. It's also the very first device to be pictured running the new OS 6.0. Of course it is going to be a CDMA device so we'll see this popping out of Verizon and Sprint at some point. Also comes with a 5 megapixel camera. What do you guys think of this new design?

that could be a good move, not everyone wants a touch screen or slide up device, i know a lot of construction workers that will love this.:1244:

This would have been AWESOME! 5 years ago.
:no: come on RIM what are you doing? and seriously WTF!!! 5 mp on a clamshell device?

Little late for an April Fools joke! Are they kidding?

Its Fugly! But it kind of makes sense. I like the large screen on the front. And the rubber convenience keys. This is just making me more and more excited about 6.0. BRING IT ON RIM!

The best thing about those pics are how they show more of OS 6.0.

What is RIM thinking with this? It looks like a tweenage girls perfect phone. This would have been hot stuff back when the RAZRs were going strong. (Channels inner T-Mobile commercial) "It's a BlackBerry that flips closed..."

I tend to agree this will be a hit among certain demographics. I usually leave my phone in the truck because I'm crawling around server rooms, machinery, etc. and the 9550 is a little too vulnerable. This may be just what some people are looking for.

My wife would be all over this...
