Well, I know the first thing that comes to mind (especially for you iPhone fanatics) is "oohh a blackberry, EWW" or as some say "crackberries". Well, I have to agree to an extent, but this is only because most are comparing it to the iPhone itself. In reality, what can step up to the plate against the iPhone... Not really any phone at all. At least so far. Anyway so lets examine the positives and negatives that I have been able to uncover so far for this new Verizon capabale touch screen. Oh, and by the way, this phone is supposedly the first ever touch screen blackberry and is expected to be released somewhere in November of this year (08). Verizon slaves lets unite and keep our fingers crossed on this one...
Specifics
Before i get started on the intricate details of this phone I want to first say I got most of my information from PhoneArena. They are up to date with the newest phones for every provider out there. Should check them out if your into up to date details on phones. Anyways, so this phone sports a 3.2" display screen, 3.2MP camera, html browser, etc. It is .5" in thickness and can operate on both Verizon and GSM networks. This phone also supports just about all the bells and whistles except for wifi. This is disappointing to me but in reality if i really needed it I would just use the 3G capability and get a data plan. Although we are talking about verizon here...ugh.
Ever been driving in unknown territory and completely miss a turn? It is frustrating because now you are off course and have not a clue how to get back on route. The iPhone sports a GPS which is ever life saving. (Friend of mine helps me with his all the time) Well fear not anymore, for this phone has GPS too! May be I won't need to borrow my friends iPhone anymore or depend on him being there. May be I will? Not much has been said about the GPS on this phone, but assuming anything, it most likely rivals the iPhone best as it can. This of course, may be wishful thinking... But wishful thinkin never hurt anyone did it?
Verizon Kills
First off I would like to thank whoever took this picture, and whoever wrote this on their vehicle. I give all rights to them and this picture. I am just advertising it more as it should be because this is the way most all verizon customers who give a crap think. The picture states "Verizon Sucks. Can You Hear Me Now?". I could rant about Verizon all day long with things I don't like, but in the readers interest i'll leave it at that.
Well we all know that Verizon is very good at taking great phones and distorting them and making them a little better than crap. Is the trend going to continue? Are they going to strip this phone down to its boxers and socks? Lets hope they at least let it keep its dignity and hold a few good features. After all, it seems Verizon doesn't like giving customers what they want, and that is why the rejected the iPhone in the first place right? (I understand there were other reasons, lol)
Is it a killer?
So, is this phone potentially an iPhone killer?? It's specs might match up but does it have the capability? I mean, it does bear the infamous "blackberry" trademark that doesn't get much love, but can it pull out of slavery and start a revolution? Ok, that was a little history oriented and im sorry. This is a vast topic and I could expand more and more but for now ill leave things as they are. As a Verizon customer I am looking into getting this phone so any serious opinions on it would be nice. Until next time, thats all for me, Brandon out.

- Just saw another phone "Samsung OMNIA" which also has a release date of sometime in November. This phone i think will present a better solution to what some want, other then the blackberry. I may blog about it soon.
