BlackBerry Thunder on photos

Thunder, pictured below, is probably coming under the name BlackBerry 9500 and it's the first handset from RIM that has a touchscreen that takes up almost the whole front cover. Below the touchscreen there are only four conventional keys, above these the display being the most emphasized element of the front. RIM's virtual keyboard seems quite comfortable at first, since the buttons are large enough and in landscape mode it is QWERTY and in portrait mode it is a SureType keypad. It is not yet sure if this prototype will be the final one.
