More rumors are gaining momentum in the mobile industry. This time they are emanating from the frosty north of Canada. Research in Motion, (RIM) creator of the beloved BlackBerry, is supposedly working on a slider phone that will be offered via Sprint. No release date has been revealed as of yet, along with the name of the device. Apparently, the slider is not attached to the Bold series of phones, or any other offering by RIM thus far. One tidbit of information that has been confirmed is that there will be a GSM/HSPA version of the new BlackBerry slider that will include 850/1900MHz UMTS bands. These bands are required in order to use the device with AT&T and Rogers networks. Sprint is naturally looking to bolster its lineup of phones, which some critics feel was a bit weak in 2009. Maybe RIM could be the saving grace that Sprint is looking for.
