You can consider our minds completely and utterly blown tonight, as we've just stumbled upon these photos of what appears to be a new BlackBerry device... a vertical slider. While the source (BlackBerry Leaks) doesn't seem to be able to confirm the legitimacy of the photos, we're mostly convinced that this is some variation of a RIM device. While BB Leaks speculates on the possibility of this being the Storm 3, Kevin Michaluk over at CrackBerry suggests this might not be a phone headed to market, rather a prototype concept which could have been scrapped, similar to the Magnum handset which was floated to the internet recently. What we can say, however, is that this device coupled with those new BIS 3.0 Gmail integration upgrades and that forthcoming RIM WebKit browser would push this into the territory of that dream smartphone we pleaded for back in 2008. Coincidence? We think not.BlackBerry slider photos leak out! originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:46:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
