Live Photos of the Blackberry Thunder

Live photos of the Blackberry Thunder have surfaced online at Crackberry.com. The Thunder is set to rival the iPhone 3G and perhaps be the first serious competition the iPhone has seen.

Crackberry has posted the following details on the Blackberry Thunder's touchscreen...
* Tactile Response - when you press on the Thunder's screen, it pushes in "just" a little bit (the whole screen is sort of like a big button) and you get immediate "real" feedback - you hear an audible clickety sound, and can feel a buzz in your finger where you actually pressed on the display.
* Full QWERTY and SureType entry - hold the phone in landscape mode and you can take advantage of a full-qwerty keypad. Use the phone in portrait mode and you can enter data on a SureType keyboard. You will be able to choose/change your screen/keyboard orientation at anytime.
* Screen is made of glass and will feature multi-touch - the Thunder is said to be utilizing WebKit for it's browser engine (same as the iPhone), so hopefully that means a solid web browsing experience for the Thunder.
