The first clear images of the BlackBerry's pioneer slider leaked online. The mysterious device sports touchscreen, optical trackpad, sliding full QWERTY keyboard and runs on BlackBerry OS 6.
There is little info about the specs yet since the prototype appearing on the pictures below had a faulty battery and couldn't power on.

RIM's successor to the original Bold — the BlackBerry Bold 9700 — has finally landed on our doorsteps. The 9000 is in many ways a hard act to follow. Hardware-wise, it lived up to its name, going where most phones never went with its retro, leathery, nearly clunky looks in an age of rounded edges and shiny curves. Don't get us wrong — we loved the 9000's aesthetics obsessively — which is why we couldn't wait to get our hands on its newborn child. A few questions we had in mind: would ……
