The rumoured BlackBerry slide phone has been spotted in the wild once more – this time in more high res shots.
You will hopefully remember we brought you news of the first slider yesterday, which came complete with the – apparently required for this sort of rumour – super-blurry pictures.
Well, it seems the spy-shot industry might be taking that criticism on board, as new and clearer pictures have been posted by the same site, BlackBerry Leaks.

So what do they tell us? Well, the evolution of the hardware seems sensible – defined keyboard buttons, an optical trackpad and a large screen all follow the BlackBerry lineage.
However, many are predicting that this is a keyboard/touchscreen combo, with the SurePress system also coming.
But looking at the photos, it doesn’t seem to have the same hardware structure (take a look at the Storm 2 to compare) so could this be RIM’s first non-clickable touchscreen?
Of course, it could just be a prototype phone found in the bottom of RIM’s skip – but that theory ruins all the rumour fun.
