Seems that we have new images floating around about the not-yet-released Research in Motion touchscreen BlackBerry 9500, also known as the “Thunder”. Running OS 4.7, this features a glass 360×480 touch display and has the ability to go into portrait view and play music from the media player, watch movies or videos. The “Thunder” will have a carrier music store similar to the iPhone’s iTunes that allows users to purchase songs from their device.
The BlackBerry Thunder 9500 will run on a new Blackberry OS that's fully touch-centric and will sport a 2.5" 65K color touchscreen TFT display with 360 x 480 pixels resolution. Most importantly it will be a hybrid device, working in GSM and EV-DO networks supporting EDGE/HSDPA and built-in GPS.
The Thunder will have a built-in camera - no word of how many mega pixels or release date.
