So.. I’m kind of on the fence about this one but I do like the idea of a new BB Slider phone, because prior to my BB life, I had my mind set on an HTC fuze but the suckers were just too expensive so I got myself a lil 83xx curve to tide me over until my AT&T contract expired and I was up for an upgrade. I’m hearing the 9800 will be available on AT&T in June, and possibly available on Sprint sometime late October, so even though I love my 9700 and all, the grass is always greener on the other side!
The first couple of pics I saw weren’t that exciting, and made it look downright scruffy, but the second pics I saw with the touch screen in action were pretty sweet. Initially the first touch BB, the Storm, came out with landscape and portrait view as well as Rim’s SurePress technology, and from what I hear, it made their touch pad keyboard a pain in the xxx.
Looks like this 9800 slider keeps the portrait view of the standard phones we like, with a slide out keyboard below instead of to the side like some of the HTC models out there. Although I’d love to have a wider slide out keyboard and a landscape view, I’m sure it would make theming the phone a nightmare like the Storm devices so I can’t say I’m sad about it. J
We’ll have to see how it turns out, but hopefully it will be everything we hope for and more!
