BlackBerry 9800 Slider Spotted In The Wild?

July 9, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

If this image is not Photoshopped, and, there is no reason to believe that it is, it may be the first picture of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider in the wild.

See what CrackBerry forums member GoBlue has to say about this photo…

A few weeks ago I was at my kids event and saw some person sporting a slider….no big deal I thought until I saw him slide it and saw the BB Logo….I asked him it that was the new BB Slider and he yep. Played with it a few, it was running 6.0. No idea what build. He basically said this would be out in November. I asked how he had and he is in public relations for RIM here in Chicago. I was a huge BB fanboy and if I had not gone Android, I would be creaming. The UI was nice, very smooth and FRIGGIN Fast. Again, I mean no disrespect, I can not answer any questions, just here to say those that are staying BB will definitely enjoy.

Was going to post this weeks ago, but had no proof, and well even with my post count, some would be skeptical. However, weeks later we were together at an “event” taking pictures of our kids after wining a “game” and just saw that I had a pic of it.

It is very small, feels very solid, and again if I had not experienced Android I’d want this phone.

It seems to me like this is probably the real deal…  GoBlue is a Michigan fan though, so, you never know. 🙂

    It does look like the same phone solomondrin videoed. I wonder if the poster got a look at the guy’s fingernails? Depending on length, maybe it was solomondrin his ownself! Lets hope he was off by at least four months with that November release (maybe that relates to a specific carrier). I thought the current best guess was prior to August (a/k/a this month).
