BlackBerry Bold 9800 spotted in the wild with WebKit

At this point, seeing shots of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider in the wild is nothing new, but seeing proof of a native WebKit browser on OS 6.0, well that's something else!  Thanks to the folks at TheCellularGuru, the picture you see above is the 9800 passing the Acid3 browser test (a test that checks how well a browser renders content based on certain web standards) with a perfect score, a feat not to be taken lightly.

According to TheCellularGuru, a tipster sent them the pictures which shows a keyboard very similar to the Bold 9700 coupled with a touchscreen like that of the Storm.  Also displayed is the "About" page showing OS 6.0, and the "Memory" page which alludes to 4GB of on-board memory.  Word on the street is that the Bold 9800 will be sliding on over to AT&T sometime this June, with the announcement to come a few weeks prior.

Will you be waiting for a BlackBerry slider with the newest BlackBerry OS?  Let us know in the comments!
