Coming out with a webkit based browser is a good first step, but they really need to do what MS did and just build a new OS and bring their strong points from the old one like email.

BB would be a perfect candidate to just buy Palm and turn WebOS into the new BB OS.]]>Mar 4th 2010 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 4th 2010 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 4th 2010 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/480 x 360 is the same resolution as my 8900 so the screen may not be all that much bigger. Of course, they could have just used bigger pixels....

Either way, whatever RIM does is OK by me.]]>Mar 4th 2010 5:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 4th 2010 6:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://bit.ly/bb-magnum-leaks-opinions

The resolution isn't bad - a bit more than the Pre and the iPhone, which has even lower pixel density. due to its larger screen.]]>Mar 4th 2010 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/
Well it looks pretty thick from the pics, plus whats the reason for the touch pad if it has a touch screen?? Kind of odd if you ask me. I wonder if the touch screen will work better without the surepress?

Also, does anyone know what the inside guts are made of of? Proc/Mem/Wi-fi????]]>Mar 4th 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/
The optical trackpad is kind of redundant. I suppose it'll fill the same role as the trackball in Android phones (or optical mouse in the Desire and Legend), quicker scrolling and the like. ]]>Mar 7th 2010 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 4th 2010 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/
Typing on the Pre is pretty uncomfortable. I used one for about a month on Cricket Wireless.

a bigger screen would also be wonderful. so this phone solves both!!]]>Mar 4th 2010 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/

I'd buy this BlackBerry slider before I bought this abortion:

Just because both of these Os's have the ability to download those apps does not mean you have to get them. Your argument holds no water. And just because RIM has a boring OS does not make it good for work. It makes it less fun. And who says you cant have fun while working?]]>Mar 4th 2010 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 4th 2010 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/
That's right--enterprise deployment is second to none, and BES is a very powerful tool for IT departments that have to manage hundreds or thousands of devices.

Also, while somewhat antiquated, the BlackBerry OS works quite well for day-to-day tasks. Its messaging integration and ability to multitask for days on end are some of its strong points--while it may lack some of the flash and polish of newer OS's, it's still perfectly functional. The average Engadget reader doesn't represent the average BlackBerry user. My uncle still swears by his 8700--it just keeps working.]]>Mar 4th 2010 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 4th 2010 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/
5.0 was truly revolutionary. I expect the same from RIM.

You mean you have tested out the new one? Because they will most assuredly be shipping it with the new Webkit browser. ]]>Mar 4th 2010 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/What about surepress do you HATE? I feel it to be superior to any other touchscreen. No accidental selections when scrolling fast, or mistaken links clicked in webpages or wrong apps selected... Pretty much... no mistakes. And pounding out long emails on the keyboard actually feels real as apposed to lightly tapping a piece of glass. Maybe its just me, but I feel the Storm2's Surepress is near perfect. ]]>Mar 4th 2010 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/
I personally haven't played with the Storm2 SurePress, but on the Storm, it feels like you could pretty much pop the screen out of the phone. Also, I would sacrifice no mistakes for it being simple as tap instead of tap and press, but that's probably just me being lazy. To each their own, SurePress just isn't right for me.]]>Mar 31st 2010 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/more-blackberry-slider-pics-appear-is-this-the-next-bold/Mar 3rd 2010 11:57PM
