Will Blackberry's next phone be a slider?

While we can’t really confirm the authenticity of this picture, this is apparently a leaked picture of the upcoming BlackBerry slider phone, possibly the Storm 3.

Rumors of a BlackBerry slider phone have been floating around for some time now, and we’ve mentioned the possibility to you before, but seeing a leaked picture seems to add a whole new excitement level to it, wouldn’t you think?

Of course, this might just be another fancy Photoshop job, so you might want to take it with a pinch of salt, but if the final product were to look something like this, would you want one?

Some additional information regarding the recently leaked BlackBerry slider phone has emerged, and according to the latest leak, the device actually failed the early diagnostic testing 4 out of 5 times, which certainly doesn’t sound good. If the leak/rumor is good, the BlackBerry slider could possibly be heading for Sprint, as the device spotted bore a Sprint logo. Aside from that, a GSM/HSPA version of the device dubbed the BlackBerry 9900 and BlackBerry 9930 are mentioned which will support AT&T and Rogers’ 3G networks using the 850/1900MHz UMTS bands. Do bear in mind that there isn’t any official indication of this phone just yet, but we’ll keep monitoring the situation, so check back often!
