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.

    Hey, the phone should be released in september, with an expected price in the area of $400 with a 2 year agreement from Verizon. Although the price I think will be a bit cheaper just so they can go head to head with the Iphone. Almost every blackberry from verizon has always been in the 400 dollar area though. So we will just have to wait and see.
