Blackberry Kickstart: it's a clamshell

Boy Genius Report truly is the guru of all blackberry info releases these days (but as you will see he needs a better camera). As if the blackberry 9000 specs weren't enough he comes back today with the unveiling of a new Blackberry, the kickstart, that has a clamshell flip open design so you can be more like Kirk with his communicator as opposed to McCoy with his tricorder.
