New Blackberry on the Horizon?

I am hearing rumblings that Research in Motion is going to be releasing a new Blackberry soon. I have heard various names for the upcoming new Blackberry but I am going to wait until I know for sure exactly what is going to be released. We know that Blackberry has set the world on fire with its uber popular Blackberry Curve, Blackberry Pearl, also the 8820 has gotten rave reviews as well.

I know for a lot of the corporate types the Blackberry brand has long been a favorite, but for me personally it has finally become a relevant phone. With stiff competition from the Apple Iphone, the folks at Research in Motion or RIM for short have been holding them at bay. Though of all the smart phones, I myself prefer the Palm Treo. I really enjoy the touch screen. I also enjoy that it has a full keyboard. I have to admit I have never owned a Blackberry personally but my wife did have a 7520 I think the model number was. She had it for Cingular Wireless, before they became the new AT&T.

The emails do come through very quick, on my Treo I can't set up a Yahoo account. How stupid is that? Who doesn't have a Yahoo email account. But for that minor shortcoming, the Treo is my smart phone of choice. I have seen the Blackberry Pearl in action. Though it strikes me as feminine, it is a phone that gets the job done. It is small and sleek. It fits into your pockets real nice without getting into the way.

Well I have rambled long enough. Like I said, once I have more information I will post here and update you all.
