If you’re one of those die hard Crackberry users who can’t live without your hand held device, read on.
Some mobile QA engineer over at Yahoo! Mobile, posted a video revealing a first look at the new Blackberry Thunder for Verizon… Verizon? I thought Blackberry was T-Mobile?
Anyway, the ninja speaks about the new Crackberry Thunder at the 2:50 mark of the video, saying, “I don’t like it, it’s it’s an ok phone.”
What he doesn’t like about it is the touch screen function which acts as a button which means the whole screen has to be pushed – hard – to get the thing to work.
That sounds like boo boo to me. I still don’t get the whole hype over Crackberrys in the first place.

u can miss me with all the gadgets..it really isn’t that serious
NEXT POST PLEASE
i didn’t get it either sandra…one of my co-workers who work in tech-support was just talking about new version a few days ago…he has a company supplied blackberry, however if they don’t agree to update it, he already made a fuss about buying it himself…i ain’t paying to update $hit out of pocket for my job!
And I was just thinking about getting my sister a crackberry for her b-day 2moro!…
Don’t like BBerry because I can’t multitask like I can with my sidekick. I can’t get the internet @ work and this is my source to the outside world while @ work. Love love love it… email, internet, im, ect. I’m typing this from it now.
Only thing they need to do is add video and it will be slamming.
I’LL STICK WITH MY SIDEKICK 2008
@ ICECREAM IF YOU GOT THRE SIDEKICK WHICH ONE YOU GOT? MY SIDEKICK 2008 DOES VIDEOS
@ lovely & iscream … I am a sidekick kind of person too.
I love my sidekick … I have the LX .. its sleek, the web browser is great … all MY IM’ng, email, etc are easy to access.
Which one is the sidekick 2008 ??? Mine has video too and pic messaging. I had the SK3 but it didn’t have pic messaging at all.
real quick. blackberry is just the phone any provider can sell it—t-mobile, verizon, sprint and at&t. although it seems verizon get blackberry exclusives (the pink pearl and curve)
basically blackberrys are computers. the internet goes fast on them. you can work on MS Word/Excel..etc.
plus they have the BB Messenger which you can IM on it, even in other countries.
bottom line and not to be rude:
Black Berrys are about that business. You can get work done on it. Can’t pull out a sidekick in a boardroom.

The 2008 just came out a couple weeks ago…the screen is so much more clearer than the LX and 2 and 3. I can’t live without my sidekick girl
Oh yeah??? Might have to check that out.
I love this LX is been my best SK yet … I had the MDA, and the DASH b4 too. Been w. T-mobile forever … when it was Voicestream. Its the lesser of the evils IMO.
i have the blackberry curve and prefer it to the iphone anyday. i dont get the push screen detail.
I stick with my scratched up, battered and bruised Sprint flip phone. Works fine for me. Rings, txt (which I hate) and has voicemail. What’chall gone do without those phones if something happens. Please don’t depend on technology too much! Computers will rule the world. But it takes a person to push the button.
Sidekick LX has video thanks to the new update, I have a BB too for business purposes. Thats a nice new BB, I wouldnt buy it though, always good to wait a few months on new phones till they fix potential problems first.
LOL Sandra, a blackberry is a TYPE of phone, NOT a phone model contracted to one sole phone company. Pretty much every phone company has a blackberry model of some sort.
Ex: PDA’s, flip phones, sidekicks….*insert blackberry here*
Sandra, I’ma need for you to start typing “hawt” as “hot”…
I heard she was dropping them the same day that Michelle’s album comes out…any truth to that?
P.S. not feeling the Ciara jockin with “If I were a boy”…I know Ciara wasn’t the first with the concept but it’s too close to when “Like a boy” came out.
^^hey this is the BB post. LOL !!!!
I’m on my bb now. Massa up and decided to block a whole bunch of sites from the plantation, so I browse from my phone. They were trying to increase productivity, look what happened, now I don’t’ even have another screen up with work stuff.

^^^^ HA! Wrong post.
I’m a Sidekick woman too. I can’t see giving up my SK for no Crackberry. I don’t think there’s a new 2008 SK (trust me, I check often). I think she’s referring to the new LX. I would get the LX but I hate the two colors they offer, and the Tony Hawk skin is way too expensive. So I’ll wait.
I’m sorry I meant you can’t view videos on sidekicks… ex (if a video link is posted here I have to wait till I get home to see it. Or to watch youtube ect) I have the 3. I think the dash allows you to view videos.
^ no, sidekicks don’t stream music or video from the net. Maybe in the 09 LX model it will from what Im hearing. Tmobile does not even have 3g yet.Sprint and Verizons BB does stream though.
Sandra they have a new “sidekick 2008” that replaced the sidekick ID (with more features)which is a step down from the LX which I have, with interchangable faceplates IMO geared toward teens and tweens…..http://www.sidekick.com/
@Sandra “I would get the LX but I hate the two colors they offer, and the Tony Hawk skin is way too expensive. So I’ll wait.”
I love the brown one …. an when i upgraded the Yony Hawk was like $50 more than the LX
Lol I see…oops. Well that goes to show you how addicted I am to your site (even though I disagree with you sometimes). I keep several different posts open and keep refreshing them. LOL!
Let me go post that in the RIGHT post.
I love my blackberry curve gold 2007 and no Sandy.. AT&T has blackberries as well and now looks like so does Verizon.
Sandra i thought you were up on things BB is for every service carrier! I love my Crackberry im on my 2nd one! not too fond of the Thunder however! VZW has the best service but youre very limited to any extras without paying them! my tmobile BB is unlocked and I LOVE IT!!! BB needs to get video then its a wrap! Crackberry is a HELLUVA drug!!!
Auntie I’m right with you….i aint giving up my SideKick…but if you’ll want clearer MUCH CLEARER SCREENS go get dat Sidekick 2008….er’body be stopping me asking about it…it just came out
I had the LX but when that 2008 hit and I seen the screen and how clear it was I had to have it, but it’s much smaller than the LX so if you have fat fingers (like me) it might be frustrating to type when sending messages.
Plus the 2008 IS CHEAPER THA THE LX which I couldn’t believe,,,,but they said only for a limited time.
I absolutely love, love, love, love “MY BERRY” When I first got my “Berry” popped I knew then I could not go back to just a regular phone. I have the BB Curve and seriously I take care of half of my life on this phone. I am not into the touch screen stuff so I think I will stick with my Curve for now.
I can’t wait for this phone to come to T-Mobile, I havehard horrible issues with That VCompany in the past.. I will never go back.

*********************************************
@ Candi, I see it now but I thought it was a regular SK with skins. It looks like the screen is the same size as my SK3. I want a bigger screen.
@ Lovely, more clarity is good, but I still need a bigger screen.
Sandra they have a new “sidekick 2008? that replaced the cheap sidekick ID (with more features)such as video capabilities (only 20 second video camera and watch music video or movies converted to 3gpformat that you download via PC no streaming)and camera with no flash, which is a step down from the LX which I have(LX is the luxury model of all sidekicks), it also has interchangable faceplates IMO geared toward teens and tweens….
The screen for the sidekick 08′ is the same as the 3 or ID. The Lx is a more grown up high-end phone.It has a LCD screen and its bigger/clearer than any sk screen.
@ Candi I still think the 08 is better, I like small phones and the LX is way to big for my liking, plus everything is blury once you have that 08 the quality of the screen is like having HD TV lol
@ lovely I haven’t seen the 08 .. .my LX is working just fine for me. I really LOVE it …
sidekicks and blackberries are wack get an iphone if a touchscreen is your thing
