We’ve got a bit of hardware news and a bit of software news this week, and they’re both going to be controversial. What else is new? It seems that everything RIM does is under the microscope these days, because of the competition from Apple and Google. Still, I think it’s pretty good news.

Highlights include:
First is a new BlackBerry model, this one a flip. No, not like the Pearl flip. This is a full-sized device, complete with Storm-sized internal screen — though I see no indication that it has touch capabilities. Still, it could be a winner on the enterprise market. I don’t think, however, that the hipsters will be on board.
RIM could also announce OS 6.0 as early as this coming week at WES, though it’s no guarantee. Boy Genius Report got a hands-on review of an early build, and it sounds good so far. It’s not a major overhaul — we’re not talking Apple or Android OS here. It’s a big step forward for RIM, though, perhaps as far as RIM was willing to go with their old, reliable OS.
