RIM, the company behind the BlackBerry branded enterprise phones is ready to take mobile phone companies that offer touch screen smart phones. RIM has said that they will be entering into the touch screen smart phone’s race. Recently RIM offered the BlackBerry Bold, which is the part of its 9000 series. Now the company has announced the launch of BlackBerry 9500, which will be a touch screen Blackberry with completely different interface. Some people are also saying that 9500 might be a next iPhone killer. The device is going to be called as Thunder and will be available on Vodafone and Verizon networks. Coincidentally, Vodafone is launching iPhone in India in the month of September and BlackBerry Thunder will also be launched in the month of September. Thunder 9500 will support 3G and like the BlackBerry Bold it will have a 624MHz dedicated processor. There is no detail on how this phone will look but some people say that it will be an Enhanced version of the BlackBerry Bold 9000. I have inserted the picture of BlackBerry Bold 9000, as Thunder’s pic was not available. With the launch of the BlackBerry 9500 Thunder, RIM will kick-off its touch screen enterprise phone’s campaign and though it might loose to iPhone on the intuitive touch screen front it will beat iPhone by good margin when it comes to processing of enterprise applications.
