It’s wierd how even tech fanatics can be closet Luddites. Why is it that people who have an old technology form factor (e.g., 8800 series with a questionable keyboard) will argue for keeping it in the face of a more convenient one (e.g., slider with portrait/landscape flip, better keyboard, etc.)? Why not embrace change, especially since it is more sensible and the form factor already has a growing number of adherents among users of other brands?

Well I commented on the flip idea a couple of weeks ago, but this is more what I had in mind. I would buy this tomorrow if it had this design and all of the other features of my 8130.

It’s funny. HTC and Qtek are selling such sliders 3 or 4 years already. And here is RIM with it’s brand new patent

that doesn’t look like it would last long. the slider may cause problems and the buttons might get damaged from the sliding. it is very reminiscent of the HTC Tilt to me for some reason. i think RIM should just stick to their classic 8700 design that they have improved upon (i.e Curve). It. just. works.

i have normal fingers and I hate the keypad on my 8830…

I would buy one probably …. But only if it had a touch screen with it …. If not then ill keep my 8820

I wouldn’t. The more moving parts, the more likely it will break. I guess I’m odd though as I like the current keyboard on my 8830. and I got Big fingers!

I’d buy one of these with cash if RIM was to release this design. Screw that cheezy-looking 9000-series phone.
