EXCLUSIVE: BlackBerry Thunder now the BlackBerry 9500, OS 4.7.0

July 1st, 2008 | by Jibi |

Thirsting for more information in the BlackBerry Pre-Launch World? Want more information than what my good friend, Boy Genius, has provided in his posts on the touchscreen BlackBerry, code named ”Thunder”?

As believed by many rumors in the past, the device has been officially named the BlackBerry 9500. Also, as reported in the past, it will launch on Verizon and Vodafone as a lifetime exclusive, operating on both high-speed HSPA and EV-DO networks (and even a GSM/EDGE transmitter for sh*ts and giggles). Now for some new information. The resolution for the touchscreen will be 360×480. Oddly enough, that’s slightly larger than the Apple iPhone and Apple iPhone 3G, which is the even more apparent inspiration for taking one extra step up for the BlackBerry 9500.

Oh yeah, last but not least, the BlackBerry Thunder will launch with OS 4.7.0

The design still cannot match the iPhone WOW factor.
