Engadget has photos of the new Blackberry 8100 up this morning. It’s pretty! Slim, with a media player, and camera, it’s the next generation of the 7100 with the double-tap keyboard. In the center of one of the photo’s you can see a roller ball, replacing the scroll wheel which has been a feature of Blackberry since the first products rolled out in the mid-1990′s.
I’d love to see this phone in the 8700 form factor, with a full keyboard.
