New BlackBerries (Magnum? Pearl 9100?) and software upgrades coming from RIM this spring
By Ilinca Nita on 03 Feb 10RIM is reportedly getting ready to launch two new BlackBerry smartphones this spring (the North American / European spring).
According to The Street, one of the devices might resemble the BlackBerry Bold, but come with a “long-awaited, touch-enabled Web-friendly operating system” (thus a touchscreen), as well as with a full QWERTY keyboard. This might be the rumored BlackBerry Magnum / Dakota – or a newer handset based on it.
Reportedly, RIM officials are really happy with the new touch and Web-friendly operating system – although there aren’t any concrete details about it.

The second upcoming RIM smartphone is a 3G BlackBerry Pearl with an optical trackpad – most likely, this is the Pearl 9100 that we recently saw in some leaked photos.
Well, now let’s wait for RIM to confirm all this.
