BlackBerry iPhone Killer May Be In The Works

14 May, 2008, 4:00 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Smartphones

It seems like there's an 'i-Killer' to the credit of every single company that manufactures high-end mobile handsets and who says hardcore business phones can't contend? RIM, as rumors have it, is working on one such 'i-Killer'.

Their handset, is supposedly called the 9500 Thunder and would launch exclusively with Verizon. It will sport a full touch screen display with not more than what appears to be 4 keys. According to some, the Thunder could also have a 4G LTE data-standard, but I’m skeptical. Of course, they’re just rumors. Then again there is a website dedicated to the handset.

BlackBerry’s already in the limelight with their new recently launched BlackBerry Bold. Should this news prove to be true; not only would this be BlackBerry’s very first touch screen entry into the mobile phone market, but we’d run out of space on the entry board for i-Killers as well.
