While I am a Blackberry fanboy, I am no Apple hater/basher, but that thing looks like it is going to be WAY easier to type on than the iphone. However, I will be in landscape mode all time. Can't do SureType.

Looks good.

Looks nice, very clean. Time will tell how the actual OS runs though.

this is truly indeed....amazing

VERY, VERY SAD!!!! I am a true blackberry supporter from day one and have never ever wanted to change until now. I was going to wait for the touch blackberry to come out but not sure anymore. The Iphone is ten million years ahead in user interface. In the pics the Thunder looks bulky and confirms what a friend told me that works at RIM. The email looks like the same setup as other blackberries (blan and boring) compared to the iphone setup. The THUNDER should have a user interface which is much better then the Iphone or RIM will seriously be in trouble in the future if they keep the same old boring basic setup and user interface on this touchscreen.
RIM cannot just come out with a touch screen and expect it to be better then the Iphone because it say's BLACKBERRY on it. They have to seriously kick some but and renovate the looks and sexiness of the onscreen display with hopefully nicer ways of incoming phone calls and email, text, and web browsing, menu options, etc. I thought I would never say this as I bashed the first Iphone but the Iphone may seriously be way better then the THUNDER. BLACKBERRY lovers seriously need to take 2 steps back and look at the overall user experience of the Iphone and they will realize RIM has some big things to accomplish to raise the bar for the IPHONE. |

The question is will the Thunder be as forgiving as the current lineup? You can FLY through operations on current BBs without fear of odd buttons, rogue menus, etc. Anyway, so my "user experience" on a BB is much more to my liking that the iPhone. |
You used the Iphone for 2 days? How long have you used a blackberry, I have a friend that has the Iphone and he types emails in lightning speed with no errors. It just takes time to navigate through any phone. The overall user experience is key, like I said take 2 steps back and look at the overall picture with no prejudice and you will see that Blackberry has alot to do with the THUNDER as it has ONLY been made to compete with the Iphone.
So a boring and plain jane interface will just humiliate RIM in the end. They should have just not even bothered building a touchscreen. Iphone s on their 2nd which as everyone knows is a big deal as RIM is only on their first touchscreen. I bet even as we speak Iphone is constructing their 3rd Iphone, RIM HAS ALOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO IF THEY WANT TO COMPETE WITH IPHONE BY MAKING A TOUCHSCREEN. The Bold and Curve are phones that are great and should remain for certain people but the Touchscreen has to head in a little bit of different direction and not the same old business boring interface. ***Just look at the keyboard it looks very, very sad. My ATARI had better graphics on their letters. I am disappointed so far, I really hope RIM proves me wrong when this comes out but as of now it does not look good. RIM has to keep in mind what type of people will buy the touchscreen, young hip business people and not old farts. |

a couple of differant people stated this is a very early build of the OS. Lets not jump the gun until the final version is released im pretty sure the folks at RIM know what their doing remember they been in the game for over ten years.

Looks nice, but just not my speed.
Even if the iPhone or iPhone 2 were released as Blackberry's, I would still not have made the move. I do wish RIM all the luck in the world with this device, I just hope it doesn't slow R&D on phones I may enjoy (selfish, yes). |

Funny your saying I'm too smart, buddy go back and read... I never said because Iphone built it first that RIM should not.... Clearly STATED that RIM has to step it up as apple is on a roll and perfecting their Iphone with their 2nd generation being released and much better then their first. Pardon me for you ignorance. Anyway didn't mean to hurt your feelings, didn't know you were so attached to RIM... Like I said before I am a huge blackberry supporter but releasing these pictures do not help one bit (they were leaked on purpose obviously) and like I said before, I'll say it again, a friend at RIM says the device is thick which will totally suck! |
The phone does look a little wide for my preference but I have to believe it will be a stable device. I haven't played with the 3g iphone but the original is very hard to type on because the letters are so close to each other maybe the wider thunder will make it easier? I can only imagine how much more of a pain it is to type on the new iphone than the old since they go down in size. It seems like the thunder is going to be like the sidekick possibly .... but I'm excited for it and hopefully its sweet so I can get it heh.

Why does one always have to "kill" the other? RIM is not having any problem selling devices. I doubt they ever will. Apple isn't having any trouble selling devices either. I think there's room for both. However, there's not room for both on my belt. There's only room for BB. :-)

But, I do agree with you when you say that these pics are not too good looking. Apparently this is an old picture of it, so I'm hoping for the best. |
