Although BlackBerry had a vague announcement of its touch screen phones, it was not much clear about the model and design. Now Live pictures of BlackBerry Thunder touch screen phones have surfaced. As earlier rumors indicated, the BlackBerry Thunder sports a total of only four physical keys up front, leaving the duo of Convenience keys and a few other “buttons” to touch-sensitivity. The image shows that BlackBerry would be available to Verizon Wireless.
