Sprint and Research in Motion on Monday announced the BlackBerry Style 9670, a rare flip smartphone which will become the second BlackBerry 6 phone when it debuts on Halloween.The Style looks like a slightly chubby flip phone, with a 320-by-240 screen on the outside. Open it up, and you get a bigger 2.7-inch 360-by-400 screen, a full keyboard, a trackpad, and the BlackBerry 6 interface.
BlackBerry 6 offers better Web browsing, more multimedia options, and a fresher user interface than previous BlackBerry OSes. So far it's only available on AT&T's BlackBerry Torch, although RIM has said it's coming to the BlackBerry 9650, 9700, Pearl 3G, and the latest Curve models.
BlackBerry 6 works as well with a trackpad as it does on the BlackBerry Torch's touch screen, said RIM vice president of product management David Smith.
