Research in Motion has finally decided to make the step into the mainstream with their first ever flip phone! Codenamed the “Kickstart”, it is expected to be released before the end of 2008. It has everything you would expect from a next-gen flip phone: Included camera, bluetooth, bright colorful display and external display. Navigation will still be done with the trademark trackwheel introduced with the Blackberry Pearl. Photos are courtesy Boy Genius Report.
