Blackberry Thunder Officially Launching in Q3

May 29th, 2008

Here we go again. Blackberry Thunder news, but this time it’s for real. Official. No more rumors!

Actually RIM basically confirmed all the rumors that we have been posting for the last couple weeks regarding the new touchscreen Blackberry, known as the Blackberry 9500 or Blackberry Thunder. It is officially going to launch on Verizon and Vodafone (so I guess you can also call it Verizon Thunder or Vodafone Thunder too).

Basically the rumors are true. In terms of how it looks though, that’s still up in the air as far as I know. But again like I revealed a couple weeks ago, Boy Genius Report made a mock design:

Get ready, iPhone.  Your competitor is in sight! And our source for this official annoucement?  Thank you PC Magazine!
