Highlights include:

We start with the next generation BlackBerry Pearl. Pictures of the device, plus a YouTube video, were recently posted by Salomondrin. It’s pretty, for sure, with a higher res screen and an optical trackpad. We should start hearing more about this soon, along with the new version of the Tour.

Next up, the BlackBerry QWERTY slider touchscreen that we’ve heard about for nearly two years now. The patent was filed — or, at least, someone discovered it — in February 2008. It’s been an on and off discussion, though I’m not sure there are any plans to produce it.

Finally, the BlackBerry Magnum, or whatever they’re calling the Bold with a touchscreen. This is the winner, I think. I know a lot of people who loved the Palm Treo because of the touchscreen/mechanical keyboard combination. It worked well enough for Palm for a while. I’m sure RIM can make a success of their spin on it.
