There is not a lot of anticipation about RIM’s upcoming Blackberry 9800 because it looks more like a mixture of iPhone and Android handsets. Almost a month ago, we already informed our readers that both Blackberry OS6 and Blackberry 9800 have somewhat similar features that resemble to the Android and iPhone OS interface.
Seems like, RIM was desperate to grab some attention but oh well, as long as the 9800 manages to live up to our expectations, we’re going to have a winner (a rather small one of course). Some sources say that the new Blackberry will be exclusively available through AT&T only. The benefits that AT&T gives to its customers are a little limited through and we wouldn’t recommend anyone to set AT&T as their first preferred carrier.
The market is already buzzing with competitive waves that were released by WP7, iOS4 and Android OS. What chances does the 9800 Blackberry or Blackberry OS6 stands here? Practically none but even if RIM manages to live up to its own name, that’ll be enough for the company.
At least, RIM is doing a lot better than Nokia for the time being. Blackberry built IT solutions and infrastructures are not too bad and RIM is always going to have a chance to woo the audience. The company just needs the right moment, and the right handset for an ultimate breakthrough.
The BlackBerry 9800 has something similar with the Apple iPhone, especially it can be seen in the handset’s functions as well as features. But in fact it is considered to be ubiquitously common especial if we compare all smartphones.

> I can’t wait for the 9800 model to come out and see how good their OS 6 and the new Webkit engined browser. Also, RIM need to bring this model to Tmobile.
Man, if there was anything I wanted its for that to come to t-mobile
