Wall Street Journal confirms the all-touchscreen BlackBerry Thunder for Q3 2008

BlackBerry ThunderWe've already posted RIM is preparing to launch the all-touchscreen equipped BlackBerry Thunder later in the year. However, we now have The Wall Street Journal writing about it, giving more credibility to the story. Yap folks, the device that should appeal to both business and individual users is in the making process.

Apparently — and as we reported earlier — Verizon will get the exclusive launch rights for the U.S., while the rest of the world will at least initially be able to grab the gorgeous device through one of many Vodafone's subsidiaries. Release date is set for Q3 2008, so we guess it will probably be somewhere around September. Roughly at that time, Sony Ericsson will release XPERIA, 3G iPhone may also be announced, and suddenly buying a mobile phone goes from complex to ultra-complex decision…

      I agree! I'm not a verizon subsrcriber, I'm a Sprint. That would look real nice with Sprint tagged on the front!
