\"BlackBerry<\/a>By now we’ve all seen the many<\/a>, many<\/a>, many<\/a> and more<\/a> photos (and video<\/a>) that have been leaked of the up-n-coming BlackBerry 9800 slider phone.<\/p>\n

So you’re probably not that<\/em> amazed by the new batch of photos that have emerged over at The Berry Fix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the photographer behind this latest photo shoot does have some interesting news for y’all: the new slider won’t be using<\/a> RIM’s trademark, annoying SurePress technology.<\/p>\n

For those not in the know, SurePress was RIM’s attempt at replicating the tactile feel of a physical keyboard on a touch-screen device by making the screen a big, clickable button. The technology d\u00e9buted on the BlackBerry Storm, and wasn’t received well.<\/p>\n

The removal of SurePress from the 9800 could be to do with the fact that the slider already has a physical keyboard, so those that are truly fearful of The Touch needn’t ever use the on-screen keyboard, and thus don’t need the assurance of SureType.<\/p>\n

Don’t think that RIM have given up on SureType just yet.<\/p>\n

The device should be released on AT&T in June.<\/p>\n
