The Blackberry 9670 is RIM’s second smartphone in a clamshell form factor and it looks like it will be available exclusively from Verizon and Vodafone. Among the specs that the 9670 would have include a 5MP camera, WiFi, a full QWERTY keyboard and an updated OS.

The Blackberry 9670 is targeting the younger population. Verizon will sell the CDMA version of the BlackBerry 9670 in the US, while Vodafone should get the GSM version for Europe and other markets.

Thanks to the tireless folks over BGR, we now have for you what is reportedly the first pictures of the BlackBerry 9670 flip phone. As you can see from its design, RIM went the flip route but still maintained the overall fundamental features of your run of the mill BlackBerry. It’s got the full QWERTY keyboard, optical finger pad, BlackBerry OS 6.0, 480 x 360 display, WiFi, 5 megapixel camera, and a microSD slot. What sets it apart from other BlackBerry devices is the large outer display.

There’s no telling when or where we will see this device drop first but since its CDMA enabled, the options are narrowed down to Sprint and Verizon. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Earlier this month we showed you the above picture and told you it was an unannounced handset from RIM that looked like a BlackBerry Slider. Well, not much has been said since then but Engadget has some juicy info.

According to them, the BlackBerry Slider is called the Talladega and will be released next month. News comes to them from a translated interview with a CEO of a RIM supplier who says the slider is coming next month.

We’ve been told there is also a GSM/HSPA version and that the model numbers are BlackBerry 9900 and BlackBerry 9930. Lastly, it looks like the HSPA version of the device will support 850/1900MHz UMTS bands which would make it compatible with both AT&T and Rogers’ 3G networks.

Is this to be believed? We’ll have to wait and see.

RIM’s upcoming Blackberry Pearl 9100 has been spotted despite no official word on its release. The Blackberry Pearl 9100 will be reportedly offered by T-Mobile USA and/or Wind in Canada and will support WCDMA bands I, IV and VIII.

Other features include 3G support, a SureType QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, optical trackpad, and a built-in camera with LED flash.

A while ago, there is a reported on a rumor of a BlackBerry watch. Confirmation of that rumor was at CES 2010 as Allerta from Canada had it on display.

Actually, it was more of a “dummy model”, but this will give you an idea of what the BlackBerry watch will look like with its metal body, leather band, and I’ve heard that the first 1,000 will be custom milled on a CNC router. When the BlackBerry watch does release it will support text messages, caller ID, emails, and BlackBerry Messenger Services.

We don’t have a price or a shipping date for this, so just sit back and be patient for this guy.
