I see that Stuart McIntyre and Andy Donaldson have found some pix of the BlackBerry "Thunder" aka the 9500, the planned multimedia champion in the faceoff between the iPhone and BlackBerry. Its a very handsome device with a big screen and access to a music library.

Personally I am trying to keep a balance between the emotional and the rational when looking at new devices (OK, I admit its not easy). If you strip it all down to basics a handheld device is a tool for a specific business purpose, and its only the tip of a multi-layered process that delivers your mail and applications to you. Beauty might be skin deep, but practicality goes to the bone.
