by 4 Comments

It’s no big secret that I am not a big fan of the upcoming BlackBerry 9670 clamshell, nor has the device grown on me since we first stared hearing about it back in the Spring.  The clamshell redux is coming however it and is rumored to have been branded the BlackBerry Style.

I am sure some people will love the BlackBerry Style, but, I clearly won’t be one of them…

Is Anyone Even Remotely Interested In The BlackBerry 9670 Clamshell?

Usually, when I don’t particularly care for the style or design of a new BlackBerry when images of it start to leak, I warm up to to point of tolerating how it looks by the time it comes out.  Take the BlackBerry 7130e for example.  I didn’t really like how the device looked the first time that I saw it, however, it became one of my favorite BlackBerry devices ever.  I can’t, however, say the same thing for the, yet to be officially announced BlackBerry 9670 Clamshell.  This is jut my personal opinion, but, the 9670 is the must unappealing device I’ve ever seen come out of RIM.

BlackBerry Kickstart: The Exceptionally Large BlackBerry FlipPhone

by 16 Comments

BGR has leaked pictures of the the BlackBerry Kickstart, the first clamshell flip phone to come out of Research in Motion. I have to say that the BlackBerry Kickstart was a well kept secret. BGR has known about it for some time, however, this is the first that we’ve heard of the device.

I have to tell you that even though I am a fan of clamshell style flip phones, the BlackBerry Kickstart just isn’t doing it for me. The darn thing is just too dag um large. Unless this thing has a built-in site to site transporter like in Star Trek TNG, I think the size of the BlackBerry KickStart will turn off many consumers.

If RIM really wants to do a clam shell right, they should take a look at the Samsung t719. This was the first clamshell to come with BlackBery Connect. If you make your flip phone much larger than this, it kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion.
