There really are no solid rumors currently on upcoming devices from RIM. This has led to a void causing much speculation on what RIM is planning on doing next. Will it be to upgrade the current line with QNX? A whole new hardware line? Who knows…
The latest rumor to surface via BBLeaks is that RIM might be working on a lower end BlackBerry slider to mimic the Torch. This slider would not have a full QWERTY keyboard and would be smaller and cheaper than the Torch. It would have something like a SureType keyboard or even a T9 keypad like the BlackBerry Pearl 9105. I really couldn’t believe it when RIM first introduced the 9105 with T9 but maybe there is a market for such a low end hybrid slider device.
What do you think? Does that image rendering to the right look like something you would buy? Chances are this rumor will not pan out but it does raise the question of what RIM is up to next…
