http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_blackberryboldtouchscreen.jpgRIM has already been moving away from the trackball to the trackpad (http://gizmodo.com/5409104/first-3g-blackberry-pearl-9100-pics-leak), but this new image of a yet to be released device shows neither. All signs point to the first touchscreen BlackBerry (http://gizmodo.com/tag/touchscreenblackberry/) Bold.
There's not much more information available beyond the picture, but it's certainly a relief to see an improvement over earlier touchscreen prototypes (http://gizmodo.com/5436090/what-the-future-of-touchscreen-blackberrys-nearly-looked-like). And it's even better to see RIM continuing to innovate, although it's likely months before we see this—or the final version of it—in stores. With the BlackBerry Storm having had touchscreen capability for some time, it's only natural to see that technology infiltrate other brands.
But what do all you BlackBerry enthusiasts think? Is this sacrilege, or progress? [Cell Guru (http://tweetphoto.com/9196056) via FoneFrenzy (http://fonefrenzy.com/2010/01/21/new-blackberry-bold-touchscreen-outs-itself/)]
