All new Blackberry ripens tomorrow

Posted by T3 Online on Wed 31 May 2006

Thumbs at the ready! RIM's new Blackberry flavoured e-mail marvel launches tomorrow.

We've got sweaty palms over RIM's latest mobile wonder, details of which have been kept curiously quiet, but all will be revealed tomorrow as T3 sits on the front row,-sim card at the ready.

Hopefully the new Blackberry will squeeze in a few more features, maybe a camera or a touch screen, but most of all we're hoping for a new design to take on slimline rivals from Motorola, SonyEricsson and Nokia.

Motorola's Q is clearly gunning for the iconic message maven, while on the face of it, Nokia's E61 design is almost a carbon copy. SonyEricsson's blackberry has a different look, but all three feature the Blackberry's distinctive thumbwheel and QWERTY keypad.

We'll be giving our fingers a good night's sleep tonight, ready to poke the new handset into submission first thing tomorrow morning, and of course, you'll be the first to know what we find.
