So as i’m newsing this morning I stumble across a new Samsung smartphone set to release which resembles the BlackBerry Bold form factor. Not only does the Android powered device resemble a BlackBerry, it has jumped ahead and will rock a 2.8-inch touchscreen. Three UK below shows off the device so we can get an idea of how sexy touchscreen looks on a QWERTY device. Please RIM, hurry up and release the Bold Touch! Looking at the specs, this seems like a low-end Samsung device with an 800 mhz processor, froyo Os, 3.0 Auto focus camera.

So RIM, if Samsung can run a basic Android OS which allows for touch optimization on top of a QWERTY kb, there is no reason you cannot.

You won’t lose me as I maximize the efficiency on my device without the urge to have a touchscreen. But for the new crowd, you need to get going.
