No, not like the Pearl flip. This is a full-sized device, complete with Storm-sized internal screen &#8212; though I see no indication that it has touch capabilities. Still, it could be a winner on the enterprise market. I don&#8217;t think, however, that the hipsters will be on board.<\/p>\n<p>RIM could also announce OS 6.0 as early as this coming week at WES, though it&#8217;s no guarantee. Boy Genius Report got a hands-on review of an early build, and it sounds good so far. It&#8217;s not a major overhaul &#8212; we&#8217;re not talking Apple or Android OS here. It&#8217;s a big step forward for RIM, though, perhaps as far as RIM was willing to go with their old, reliable OS.<\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
