Hello iPhone, my name is Blackberry Thunder.

Welcome Blackberry owners, iPhone lovers/Blackberry haters, and children. If you haven’t heard about RIM’s upcoming touch screen phone, the Blackberry Thunder, well… now you have. Several screenshots have been floating around on the internet revealing this device:
Crackberry.com recently revealed live images of the phone and it’s QWERTY & SureType keyboard seen here:
- Tactile Response - when you press on the Thunder’s screen, it pushes in “just” a little bit (the whole screen is sort of like a big button) and you get immediate “real” feedback - you hear an audible clickety sound, and can feel a buzz in your finger where you actually pressed on the display.
- Full QWERTY and SureType entry - hold the phone in landscape mode and you can take advantage of a full-qwerty keypad. Use the phone in portrait mode and you can enter data on a SureType keyboard. You will be able to choose/change your screen/keyboard orientation at anytime.
- Screen is made of glass and will feature multi-touch - the Thunder is said to be utilizing WebKit for it’s browser engine (same as the iPhone), so hopefully that means a solid web browsing experience for the Thunder.
I was never into the iPhone craze, shoot… it wasn’t even the first phone featuring a complete touchscreen display. However, I do give props for its media purposes and web browsing ability. But with the images, rumors, and news of RIM’s first touch screen device, I think I have my next phone in mind.
Hate it? Love it? Gonna stick with your free phone from AT&T after rebates? Let me hear your opinions, I know you have them.

Exclusive info about upcoming gadgets? Leaked images of a new rumored Blackberry? How to turn your car into a water powered machine? Sorry you won’t find that kind of stuff here. Rather, I shall discuss and share my opinion about the latest shenanigans going on (Anyone fall in line for the 3G iPhone? You should have waited. It’s all right Jesus loves you). Occasionally you will stumble across some random *%^&. Just wait until I tell you how to maintain a healthy smile. Ever wonder which whitening strips work the best? Hell yeah I do. Oh, and just say no to teeth whitening mall kiosks. As a reader of mine, I care about your well-being. I do.
Whether you agree with my ramblings or arduosly repudiate (thanks thesaurus.com) them or are just in for an interesting read, I openly invite you to share your comments, opinions, and stories with the site. Maybe I’ll incorporate a word of the day type thing.
Stay tuned.
