Blackberry Thunder - the phone that scares the iPhone senseless

Persistent rumours have been floating around the internet about a soon to be released device in the Blackberry line of mobile phones... and according to reports, it will be a full-on, full-touchscreen Blackberry phone, combining the raw power of that line with the sleek looks of, if I'm honest, the iPhone. It's fair to say, that the new Blackberry Thunder is the phone that Apple should be really scared of!
Blackberry - how emails became sexy
The name 'Blackberry' has only really become famous in the world of mobile phones in the last few years, due to something unprecedented happening. To anyone who can remember the old Blackberry mobile phones, think back to what they used to be like. Big ol' devices with QWERTY keyboards, not particularly great menus and screens, but fabulous for email. It's just that they weren't particularly good for anything other than emails. But the simple fact was, they didn't need to be, because for their target market (people who had to have emails on the move, or, to put it another way, business people), there was no other device that could do what the Blackberry could do. It took off in the business market in a huge way, turning into the premier (and for ages, the only) email device in that field.
It was about that time that something unexpected happened. Blackberry mobile phones started to be cool. It stopped being just a business device, and it started to be bought by the general public, by groovy people out in the real world. There are probably a good few factors why that went on, but there are two factors, that to my mind had the most effect. With the first one, I simply need to use one word: Pearl. The Blackberry Pearl range of mobile phones has taken what were bog-standard email devices and made them into truly desirable, high-spec smartphones. They look beautiful, they're packed with features, and, perhaps crucially, they come in a range of colours, including pink. And why's that matter?
Well, that's because of the OTHER reason why Blackberry mobile phones have evolved into the cool consumer devices they have. And it's a TV show, Sex And The City, the show where EVERYONE had Blackberrys. You could almost sense the thought processes happening; if it's cool enough for Miranda, then it's cool enough for me, ooh, look, I can get it in pink, too, that's PRETTY...
A Sound Of Thunder - the Blackberry goes all touchscreen-y
But what does the future hold for the Blackberry? Well, if anything, their big push into the consumer world has only just begun!
There are a couple of mobile phones due in the not too distant future, that will further cement the idea of Blackberry making cool devices for normal people, not just business people. On display first is the Blackberry Bold 9000, which seems to be a new evolution of the 8xxx Curve range of devices, only with a MUCH sexier body, a brand new interface, and with the cool factor taken to whole new levels. But, as nice as it is, it's not the BIG one. That honour goes to the soon to be announced Blackberry Thunder, a full touchscreen device built around the patented Blackberry awesomeness, but clearly aimed at one target. There can be little doubt; with that huge touchscreen, and these fruitily-named mobile phones evolving into the definitive cool devices, it's out to take on and beat the iPhone. Based on what I've seen and heard so far about the Thunder... this is the one Apple are going to have beat!
