thunder

According to BGR, the upcoming BlackBerry Thunder for Verizon will bear the model number 9530, which proves its belonging to the 9500 series. They have also confirmed the release date, which is October 13th.

So it's just two months left to wait...

Bad news for BlackBerry Bold waiters. It seems the device has once again been delayed until September for a decent number of carriers. Apparently, there are some software-related issues that have to be resolved before the launch.
And now regarding the BlackBerry Thunder: according to the source, the device will be announced in the U.S. in September, and should be released in mid-October on Verizon, though it might as well be delayed until November.

These live photos were provided by CrackBerry and are first-ever shots of the RIM's new upcoming touchscreen handset, the BlackBerry Thunder. Enjoy :)

We have some the first pictures of the of the new BlackBerry Thunder in action.

The UI looks nice, and apparently it mainly focuses on media. BlackBerry Sync, the source of the images, notes that there will also be a carrier (Verizon) music store, so what we see in the pictures is not the final variant.

Anyway, the system looks cool, and we're looking forward for new screenshots and videos.

The device you see on the image here is apparently the upcoming BlackBerry 9500 Thunder - yet another iPhone killer.

Featured at the Horizon Wireless' website, it is already available for pre-order. We can't tell much from what we see in the pic - it's a blurred-out image of a keyboard-less all-touchscreen handset, similar in design to the RIM's BlackBerry lineup.

So, since the device is only rumored, we would prefer to wait for the 3G iPhone to come out instead.

According to BGR, there's a new touchscreen BlackBerry handset called 9500 Thunder coming to Verizon and Vodafone as an exclusive device.

They claim it will be feature four physical keys (send, end, menu, and back), sport a hybrid CDMA EV-DO Rev. C / GSM HSPA radio, and could include a 4G LTE component. Besides that we know nothing more... Stay tuned.
