Blackberry 9500 Thunder OS Pics Leaked
Leaked today on the Internet today were images of 4.7(unlike the expected 5.0) OS of the much anticipated IPhone “killer” from RIM. Spec’d out to have a 360×480 resolution, places it at slightly bigger than the IPhone form factor. The device is said to come in both GSM and CDMA flavours.
The Thunder will run a carrier music store similar to the iPhone’s iTunes store and will allow users to purchase songs right from their device. This in turn can make it the “Jesus Phone” of the CDMA networks.
The 9500 will also have a more advanced media player than current models supporting a variety of audio/video codecs.
SOURCE: Close source has mentioned that the Thunder does posses WIFI,3G, GPS and an accelerometer. It however does not have multi-touch support yet. I could not get confirmation on wether it’s hardware or software implementation yet. This is scheduled for release sometime in 2009 however, so all this can change.
