More leaked info about the BlackBerry slider

CrackBerry has some additional photos of the upcoming BlackBerry slider smartphone that will probably feature a touch screen (like the Storm or Storm 2) plus a hardware QWERTY keyboard that slides out. This model will be the 9700a and it looks like it's going to be a winner for users who don't like the on-screen keyboard.

BlackBerry Storm 2 reviewed

Have you read all the reviews for the BlackBerry Storm 2?

CNET, CrackBerry, Brighthand, Gizmodo, and PC Magazine seem to come to the top of the Google list. I like the review by Gizmodo because it's actually a summary of multiple reviews (although it seems like they have a typo regarding the CNET review which is 3.5 out of 5 stars or "very good")

So, what do you think about the new BlackBerry Storm 2? Are you impressed? Was it worth the upgrade? If I were a health care professional using the older Storm, I would upgrade mainly because you really need more internal RAM for all those medical apps. If you're a pure business user, then 128 MB of RAM for apps is plenty. The same isn't true for medical students and physicians.

You can see pictures of the BlackBerry Storm 2 on CrackBerry. We know it will have Wi-Fi. Looks like the buttons are a part of the capacitive touch screen. Could it be thinner? Image source: CrackBerry
