Is this the RIM BlackBerry 9500 Thunder?

RIM’s been rumored to be brewing up a serious iPhone competitor. The BlackBerry “AK” (Apple Killer) is believed to be the RIM BlackBerry 9500 Thunder, and a new image of the all-touchscreen device has reportedly surfaced on wireless retailer Horizon Wireless’s website.
Stealing some of the newly announced BlackBerry 9000 Bold’s thunder, the RIM BlackBerry 9500 Thunder has already been offered on a pre-order basis through Horizon Wireless. The website shows a blurred-out image of what looks to be a keyboard-less, all-touchscreen device with design-aesthetics that echo RIM’s BlackBerry lineup.
Granted, the image is too blurred to call it a spy-shot of the rumored RIM BlackBerry 9500 Thunder. But, we like to feed our inner rumor-fiend every now and again.
Anyone planning to wait out the 3G iPhone launch in favor of the BlackBerry 9500 Thunder?
