A Dozen More Awesome Photos Of The BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider!

The BlackBerry Bold 9800 has popped up a lot lately. We’ve seen videos and plenty of pictures but I’m sure no one will complain about a few more at some great angles
. With this device supposedly hitting AT&T this month and Sprint later this year, I guess we’ll be seeing a lot more of it real soon. I’ve included the rest of the images courtesy of BerryTimes.cn after the jump so be sure to check them out!
AT&T Getting The BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider In June With 3 Month Exclusivity?

A few weeks ago I let you know that AT&T and Sprint are rumored to get the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider device this year, AT&T possibly in June. At the time it was known that AT&T would have an exclusivity deal on the Bold 9800 but the length of time was unknown. According to a tip received by the BerryFix, AT&T will be getting the BlackBerry slider in June with a 3 month exclusivity deal.
Exclusivity deals are definitely a pain if you’re not on the network that has it. Either way it looks like the Bold 9800 will be generally available in the United States this year (if the rumors hold up of course). Anyone excited for the first touchscreen / QWERTY keypad combination BlackBerry? I know I am.
BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Definitely Not Camera Shy – New Video Shows Off BlackBerry 6 & WebKit Browser!
This has to be one of the most non-camera shy, unreleased BlackBerry smartphones ever
. Over the weekend we saw some new photos of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider device, today we have a brand new video showing off the same device running RIM’s latest/upcoming OS 6.0, better known as BlackBerry 6.
The video takes us through the Bold 9800′s boot up process and shows off a bit of BlackBerry 6 which, I have to say, looks super snappy and amazing! Check out the video above for a preview of what’s to come including the new media application, WebKit browser (HOT!), virtual QWERTY keypad and more!

New Pictures Of The BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Showing Virtual QWERTY Keypad & AT&T Splash Screen

More and more people are whipping out their cameras and taking photos of their BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider device, the latest being sent by a tipster to TheBerryFix. As a reminder, the Bold 9800 will be the first sliding BlackBerry device complete with a WebKit browser, BlackBerry 6 (OS 6.0) and is rumored to be hitting AT&T and Sprint this year.
These bunch of photos show off the Bold 9800 in horizontal orientation with a virtual QWERTY keypad as well as one with an AT&T splash screen “confirming” that it’s on the way. You can also get a sneak peek at the WebKit browser (again), some sliding action (up and down), podcasts and media. If you haven’t been teased enough by this device hit the jump for the rest of the images!
More Photos Of The BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider With The New WebKit Browser

The guys over at The Cellular Guru have gotten their hands on more, clearer pictures of the rumored BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider device!
Taking a look at the photos you will notice that the Bold 9800 is running the new WebKit browser, scoring a perfect 100/100 on the Acid3 web standards test. If you’re wondering what a perfect score means, consider that my PC’s FireFox browser scored a 94/100
. Also seen in the photos is the Bold 9800′s operating system version, OS 6.0.0.23, but this will most likely be higher once it is officially launched. This device will be a combination of the Bold 9700′s keyboard and the Storm’s touchscreen…sounds interesting!
We’ve already heard rumors that this device will be available through AT&T and Sprint this year along with it being the first BlackBerry to run the new OS 6.0 known as BlackBerry 6. I would have preferred a side-sliding keypad to take advantage of the larger screen while in horizontal orientation, but the more I see of this device, the more I like it.

Quick Video Of The BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Running BlackBerry 6! [Rumor]
Early this morning BGR posted the first live video of the rumored BlackBerry slider device. According to BG and as seen in the video, the device is running BlackBerry 6 (OS 6.0), is part of the Bold family and (so far) has 9800 as its model number. Up till now we’ve only seen photos of this device and while the video is pretty short, it’s clear enough to get a good look at the slider and the Bold branding on the back.
