“The Wall Street Journal confirms all of the details unearthed a few days ago about BlackBerry’s touchscreen Apple killah: Dubbed Thunder, it’s only got four physical keys and it’ll be exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the US and Vodafone abroad. They also toss in a launch date—Q3 of this year, meaning September at the latest, practically right on the heels of the BlackBerry Bold“
“BlackBerry Thunder 9500 touchscreen smartphone should be coming soon to Verizon Wireless and Vodafone customers in the U.S. and Europe.
BlackBerry Thunder 9500 seems to become the first touchscreen smartphone in RIM’s 9000 series. According to Wall Street Journal, the Canadian manufacturer will be offering the BlackBerry 9500 on Verizon Wireless and Vodafone networks, exclusively. Vodafone has a track record of getting BlackBerry smartphones exclusively in Europe, and an exclusive agreement will obviously also cause extra buzz for Verizon Wireless.”
