BlackBerry Kickstart. Didn’t see this one coming !

May 1st, 2008 by Greg Myers

Well, I never saw this one coming…BGR (Boy Genius Report) posted pictures of an upcoming new device from RIM to be released within the year. There are a few pictures of the flip phone on BGR so scoot on over and have a look if you’re want to check them out ( www.boygeniusreport.com ).

The pictures look as though they have been taken in a washroom or kitchen and are a bit out of focus but you can see enough detail to get a bit of an idea.

I really thought RIM would go with a ‘Touchscreen’ or hybrid but I never thought they would go with a Flip Phone design. Not that I’m complaining. I have always liked the clamshell style and now with the possibility of it being introduced into the BlackBerry line-up I think we will all be getting the best of both worlds.

This could really open up and appeal to a whole new demographic for RIM. Flip or Clam style phones tend to be popular amongst the younger generation and it would get back those customers who BlackBerry have lost who were put off by the bulk of the current line.

Looks Slick RIM… When, When, When ???

    The only downside is that i see is that if you are a heavy message person… can you guys imagine the opening and closing everytime to read and reply?

    I just saw someone criticize this model on his Twitter… Saying it’s a bad idea and won’t sell. I totally disagree! I think it’s a great idea that is going to sell a lot. Flip phones are very popular, a lot of people will want one of these. :-)

    Well the name’s real at least - I just did a WhoIs search on http://www.blackberrykickstart.com and sure enough, the domain is registered to a “secret” party in Canada… The home of Research in Motion (RIM)!

    Conicidence?

    Highly unlikely…
