That's the BlackBerry Electron over there on the right. We've come to believe that the device will make its debut in the next couple of months, probably first as T-Mobile's replacement for the BlackBerry 7290.
The Electron has been widely discussed in several online venues, including BlackBerryForums.com. Today, Mark Rejhon, who runs the Forum, posts that although he doesn't think the BlackBerry 7290 will be cashiered, it probably will achieve a sort of senior status as the replacement for the BlackBerry 7230 and BlackBerry 7280.
"And the Electron," says Mark, becomes the replacement for (the) 7290.
