The BlackBerry Thunder has a model name 9500. With only 4 shortcut key buttons below the display screen, text input will have to rely on the virtual keyboard like the iPhone. It is not sure if you will see this worldwide, but BGR said this will be exclusive lifetime to Vodafone and Verizon Wireless. The device might support both the CDMA and GSM network, and might even get the 4G support. Earliest announcement will happen in Q3 this year according to the source.
