Here we are again, folks. We’ve been down this path before. We’ve seen the device in a screenshot or two, and we’ve even heard that it’s got a model number after all. So, what’s the big deal about this mysterious BlackBerry slider now? We think it might have been confirmed. And, no, not by some guy on the street (he’s a very good source!).
The slider has been one of those devices that’s been rumored, whispered, and talked about for a little while now. Dating back to when the original Storm launched (we know, it pains us to talk about that one, too), there has been talk of Research In Motion bringing out something completely different. If a CEO of a RIM parts manufacturer is to be believed, then that device, known as the “T” (or Talladega) may be coming next month. Thanks to joins.com, where the interview was posted, the Canadian-based company is priming this device to be the proper iPhone competitor that the original Storm should have been.
While we would say that getting this kind of language from a CEO would instantaneously mean that the phone does indeed exist, that may only be half right. After all, the “T” may be something completely different, and not the slider at all. The rumors have been collecting though, and they all seem to be pointing in the same direction: T. Let’s just hope there’s definitely still going to be a CDMA and GSM variation.
