Pictures of the upcoming Blackberry Kickstart have surfaced on the web, showing almost every possible angle of this phone, including internal pictures of the phone! The slight downside is that the pictures are a little unfocused, though it’ll have to do until RIM sees fit to release official pictures of the Kickstart. It’s rumored that the Blackberry Bold (9000) and Thunder (9500) could be ushering the long-awaited Blackberry OS 4.6, and the rumors seem quite true this time. There is a new listing at Horizon Wireless Online which details the upcoming operating system, states that it will bring along richer web browsing, click zooming with the trackball, Music Sync, and an option to select the Home screen grid size and support for continuous spell checking. It looks like there are more pictures of the upcoming Blackberry Thunder, this time complete with the button descriptions. The main difference this time is as mentioned; there are only four physical buttons on the front, and a very large touch-screen for users to play with. Based on the picture, it’s most likely that the phone will be coming to Verizon. For those who have been searching for a way to upload pictures from their blackberry to their Flickr account, the search can now stop. Flickr and RIM have teamed up to bring a native uploading client to the blackberry. The software is now available on the Blackberry mobile start page, and can be installed on any blackberry that has a camera, OS4.2 or higher, and 65kb free memory. Though there isn’t anything too fancy, it allows users to tag the shots directly on their phone before sending it to their account. Simple and functional, there should be a lot of happy blackberry and Flickr users out there soon.

Rogers and RIM have just announced that they’re launching the BlackBerr
y 8120 on Rogers’ network. The phone, which has been available worldwide for some time now,
is compatible with Rogers’ UMA VOIP network, which works more or less like T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home.
The handset has the usual features of the Pearl 2, such as a 3.5mm jack, external microSD, nothing that is too exciting. Rogers’ is attempting to tie users to a 3 year contract, and offering the handset for $149.99 Canadian, including a BlackBerry data service.
Blackberry 9500 Thunder
Apparantly this picture is from Horizon Wireless, and it’s claimed to be a picture of the Blackberry Thunder, though whether it’s real or not is an entirely different question. There is also a rumor that it’s real, except that it’s the housing for the unit. Only time will tell it seems.
Pictures of Blackberry Kickstart
The Blackberry Kickstart may not be here yet, but there are more pictures of it being leaked to the internet. Pictures have surfaced, detailing the Flip Experience, which essentially spills painfully mundane details of how the handset will function while talking, receiving a text message, showing alerts as well as playing music.
