BlackBerry Thunder live pics out in Public

For the CrackBerry BlackBerry addicts (like me) who don’t want to give up their BlackBerry for an iPhone 3G but want a touchscreen don’t have to wonder if it’s in the works. We’ve seen leaked promotion images, but now the first live images of the BlackBerry Thunder for Verizon have been released, and it looks like a normal BlackBerry… Just without a keyboard. The Thunder is rumored to be an iPhone killer (I think all phones with a touchscreen nowadays have been called an iPhone killer) but even I have my doubts of that happening. The latest news from CrackBerry is that the Thunder has a glass, multi-touch screen AND a new web browser built from WebKit, the same engine that powers Safari, so the screen should act nice and viewing the web should be a breeze. The phone is expected to be released November, but with Verizon, you never know when exactly it will be released.
