The cellular handset war has just gotten hotter. With the number of smartphone being launched into the market and the related innovative mobile application development it is all but a scene of frenzy. RIM (Research In Motion), not to be left behind in this race looks all set to release their BlackBerry Bold “9800 slider” smart phone this summer. With state-of-the-art BlackBerry application development to ride shotgun with this possible new inception into the market, the future seems bright for RIM.
Though rumors have been flying wild about the possible features that this device would imbibe, it has only been a few months since rogue and non-conclusive reports and images have started hitting the web. This has sent the mobile application development community into a tizzy. The so called rumored images show the BlackBerry sporting a vertical-slider form factor, a trackpad for navigation, the BlackBerry “Bold” keyboard and a sufficiently large touch-screen display. Another purported rumour states that the new slider phone will embed the much touted BlackBerry 6 OS. There are skeptical assumptions that come June; RIM might launch this sleek handset which might clash with Apple’s next iPhone’s rumored launch dates. Rumors are also rife that there’s the impending launch of BlackBerry’s another handset and that squeezing in handsets in such minimum time intervals may not be the best idea on the part of RIM.
Still the BlackBerry Bold “9800 slider” presents a new dimension to RIM’s popular range of smartphones and will definitely appeal to patrons loyal to the BlackBerry brand. Also the launch is sure to spur a surge in the BlackBerry application development and mobile application development segments leading to increase in acceptance and interest among the global wireless community.
