BlackBerry Slider phone snapped

Evidence is growing for the rumoured BlackBerry Slider, with clearer pictures showing off the new form factor in all its glory.

Thought to be part of the Bold family, the BlackBerry Slider will take on a Palm Pre-esque design of a full touchscreen with a vertical slide out QWERTY keyboard.

It’s thought it’ll drop the SurePress touchscreen tech seen in the Storm, in preference for a fixed piece of touchscreen glass similar to that in the iPhone, and will have a screen resolution of 360×480.

Other specs are low on the ground at the moment, but it’s said to support Wifi b, g and n, and will come packing an upgraded BlackBerry OS 6.0.

What do you think to it – would you buy it? Let us know your thoughts below, and we’ll keep you up to date with the latest from the rumour mill as it churns them out.
