It is not sure that if this will be named as BlackBerry 9500. The new touch screen phone from BlackBerry will be the first keyboard-less messaging phone offered by RIM. If they have the soft keyboard working as well as the hardware keyboard, this will definitely help them to fill up some market share in competition with the new Apple iPhone and HTC Touch Diamond.
