Apparently RIM is going full speed with touch screen phones. BGR has posted about the new BlackBerry that is reported to make an appearance at WES 2009 (Wireless Enterprise Symposium, May 2009): a US bound HSDPA Storm and a touchscreen BlackBerry with a full QWERTY keyboard!

The first, yeah, might be least surprising, would be a new US-spec HSDPA Storm.

The second one, it’s a mix between the Bold/Storm/with a Javelin form factor — but definitely touch (see the mega-blurry photo).  Watch out Palm, a new horror is coming soon. “This could be a really hot device as many current BlackBerry owners love the physical keyboard,” as i4u wrote. Information Week added, being able to use the excellent Bold keyboard for messages while still having a touch-screen for quick-launching apps would be a dream.

The handset, according to BlackBerryNews, is in the alpha stages right now. Its internal name is “Magnum.”  Obviously, no pricing is available at this time.

I certainly am excited about this, but when it comes to the launch dates, I became more sceptic due to RIM’s track records. “RIM takes something like forever to release anything these days, ...

The storm RIM BlackBerry 9500 is the first touchscreen BlackBerry device, incorporating many features found in the BlackBerry Bold 9000 with a brand new display.

BlackBerry devices are all about messaging, and yet there is no physical keyboard on the 9500. RIM approach is to use a keyboard on the screen, but they skillfully two distinct versions - a virtual SureType keyboard (like the BlackBerry Pearl) is used in portrait (tall) mode, with a larger QWERTY keyboard to the use in landscape (wide) mode.

The touch panel is clearly the most interesting on the BlackBerry Storm. It is a 3.25 inch with 480 x 360 pixels panel that apparently gives users the feeling of pressing a real key, which lights up.

The 9500 storm also a high-GPS receiver and navigation function. GPS can also be used to automatically geotag photos taken with the camera of 9500, which is 3.2 megapixels with autofocus and flash.

BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 

When Research in Motion had a corner on the mobile e-mail market, the company fostered roughly the same innovation as the Soviet empire circa 1989. Color screens? Who needs that on a phone meant for the working class? A media player? We should not foster idleness and diversion. A camera? That's Bolshevik! But now that nearly every phone can handle e-mail and IM, RIM is forced to play catch-up. With the Flip, a BlackBerry can finally go toe to toe with so-called m

How Microsoft’s Windows Mobile strategy to fight against Apple’s iPhone and the new comer Google’s Android phones? “Microsoft could be preparing a bid for BlackBerry maker, Research In Motion,” as PC Pro wrote recently.

Since Microsoft has a substantial amount of cash on its balance sheet ($23 billion), with RIM currently valued at around $34 billion, the acquisition would be financially viable.

RIM’s shares have practically fallen off a cliff in recent months, plunging from a 52-week high of $150 to today’s price of around $68.

That leaves the company vulnerable to a takeover from a cash-rich suitor such as Microsoft, according to analysts.

Microsoft projected in 2008 that shipments of devices with Windows Mobile will increase from 11 million to 20 million units, but in fact, market only absorbing 18 million licenses, due to the delayed launch of certain smart-phones.

It would be weird to see Windows Mobile appearing on a BlackBerry, but business has it own logic, right?

Introduction First of all, let me be clear, this isn’t intended to be a full-blown review of every single little feature and function of the BlackBerry Bold. There are plenty of great, in-depth reviews of the Bold: CrackBerry, APC Mag, and more. Instead, I’m looking at this from a previous Curve and current iPhone user. I haven’t been very happy with the iPhone, especially its worse-than-mediocre wireless performance, and I wanted to see what else was out there that could replace it. After look
