Tech Ticker

Boy Genius Report’s sources are most of the time right when it comes to anything related to RIM and if we believe their word again, we might see a Blackberry slider phone soon. RIM seems to be exploring the form factor for quite some time and a portrait-oriented slider is what we can get, claims their source.

Other additional details were also claimed. Like the phone will run BB OS 6.0, have 802.11n Wi-Fi, support GSM/HSPA bands and carry the same display resolution of 360×480.

These are of course, unconfirmed rumors but having a slider besides the only clamshell wouldn’t hurt. However, I would rather like to see improvements on the OS front instead of delving in new form factors.
