Refuse no Wifi, BlackBerry Tour 2 9650 for Sprint leaked

yagami52 — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:28:31 +0000

It seems that the first BlackBerry device with a sliding QWERTY keyboard apparently did not cause too much attention from netizens, that can see that everyone is most recognized also is the classic bar QWERTY full keyboard. From within the Sprint’s computer screen, we see a device named Essex that was leaked just some months ago, actually it’s the BlackBerry Tour 2 9650. Due to Sprint said definitely that they would gradually reduce those devices without Wifi, so I think the BlackBerry Tour 2 9650 will support Wifi.

Others on the promulgation of information such as date and price range do not have the slightest disclosed, but according to the experience of the first generation of Tour models, perhaps a few months later, we can really see this phone.

God, BlackBerry Storm III will be used side-slide with QWERTY keyboard design?

yagami52 — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:12:24 +0000

Here is a rumor on BlackBerry Storm III will be used side-slide with QWERTY keyboard design, which was rumored amuck on the Internet. It’s important that some people was confirmed the BlackBerry Storm III may be ture.

Just two days ago, we saw a lot of images of the BlackBerry Storm 9650 if that make your aesthetic feeling tired. RIM have been released many cellphones for these days, and those devices also used almost same design which has a black body, a wide screen and a dense QWERTY keyboard. Maybe RIM themselves aware of this point, so they want to release a new device with side-slide. Anyway, this’s a expected device for BlackBerry fans who like side-slide design.

But those photos from the Internet, so I can’t assure they are ture. Now Looking at the photos, we find some places looks like be PS by somebady. And those design photos is old, they was leaked a year ago on the Internet. But we have to accept that they are designers of early imaginary, or the RIM considered to launch one like this device. And I think in short in the future the introduction of this phone is very likely, perhaps this is Storm III.

What we’ve been told thus far:

* There are currently 2 prototype versions of the Storm 3 – One with a slide-out keyboard and one without a slide-out keyboard. Unfortunately for those looking to finally have a BlackBerry with a touchscreen keyboard and a physical keyboard, you may be out of luck. We’re told that the keyboard-less Storm 3 has a 90% chance of making the final release over the Storm 3 slider.
* The screen will still be a tactile SurePress touchscreen (sorry for those who wish it was capacitive). The screen is better than the Storm2 and will continue to utilize the Piezo technology. The screen is composed of 16.7 million colors.
* The browser will be upgraded to include tabbed browsing. The tabs are at the bottom of the screen. We are unsure if this is going to be the Iris browser by Torch Mobile.
* BlackBerry Messenger will be updated significantly to include skins. You will now be able to add themes and change color-sets.
* Current early beta OS is 5.1.100.13. We are told there will be widgets (similar to the SenseUI). We do not know if widgets will be a Storm 3 exclusive feature or if they will become available on all 5.1.xxx.xx OS’ for other devices.
* 512mb RAM
* 19 second boot time
* Battery life has been improved tremendously.
* Storm 3 will be thinner (about the size of the iPhone 3GS)

Source said that this Storm III will be showed at WES 2010 that will be held in April, 2010. If it’s true that is great, and we are so waiting more information for Storm III.
