It looks like the elusive BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider has decided to grace us with its presence once again. TheBerryFix has gotten their hands on some new, high quality photos to give us a tour of the device, showing off the new WebKit-based browser, the media player, and both the physical and touchscreen keyboards. The biggest piece of news has to be confirmation that the 9800 slider will be using a regular touchscreen rather than SurePress for touch input, so you Storm haters can finally breath a sign of relief. Now that we can confirm that the device has a physical keyboard, a touchscreen, and a trackpad, it seems that this particular 'Berry has an input method to please just about anyone. As for a release date and carrier, we still don't know anything beyond the previously reported "June on AT&T," but we'll be sure to keep you posted as more details are sure to trickle out in the next month. So, are any of you planning on making the Bold 9800 slider your next BlackBerry? Tell us your opinions!
