New BlackBerry to Steal the Thunder!

New BlackBerry to Steal the Thunder!

Techtree News Staff, Jul 08, 2008 1548 hrs IST

A tweety bird posted some screen-shots of the yet-to-be-launched BlackBerry Thunder.

Now this is just a rumor - but an exciting one at that! An anonymous user has sent screen-shots -- supposedly of the new BlackBerry Thunder user interface (UI) -- to users at BlackBerry Sync, a BlackBerry user fan site.

Early reports suggest that the screen will be a 360 x 480 touch-screen affair and will run operating system 4.7 and not 5.0 as was previously rumored. There will be a glass surface a la Apple's iPhone. The phone will most likely be christened the Blackberry 9500.

What interests us the most though is the new UI and the (great) new multimedia player. There is also a portrait mode for watching movies and videos. One more cue from the iPhone: the music store which is on the lines of Apple's iTunes online store. We don't have a clue about other features - not yet, but we'll keep you posted.
