Saw these pics and the internal Verizon PPT earlier. As a Blackberry bigot – I will leave ATT & pay the penalty to get one of these! If the performance is as good as indicated in the review specs, this is one beautiful device. The Bold can boldly go wherever it wants to but I want to hear Thunder! Blackberry may have just outdone itself! And the landscape keyboard really makes thumb typing possible with the additional real estate – lacking on the iPhone! Go BB and get me to Verizon on time!!!!!!!!!

Simon, I thought Vodafone used GSM over in Europe, and has no North America presence (other than their stake in Verizon Wireless)? Also I seem to distinctly remember reading somewhere (BGR?) that Thunder would be initially exclusive to Verizon Wireless, BUT if VZW missed some unit sales target over the first couple months of availability Thunder would then become available to other CDMA carriers…??? Of course, can you imagine VZW not buying up any devices not sold in order to KEEP exclusivity?

There are few things that seem directly influenced by the iPhone – the grey search box at the top and the use of Apple’s trademarked Shuffle logo, for example, both seem a bit awkward.

Good point Nan – BGR said it’ll be available to Verizon and Vodafone for a lifetime exclusive.

Anybody else think it’s gonna be just WEIRD using the right convenience key to “take a picture” (according to BGR’s “glimpse”) when the phone is in landscape mode (right button is on top then)???

Hey Simon, the post mentions “CDMA Carriers” instead of Verizon. Is it no longer scheduled to be a Verizon exclusive device or am I reading into it?
