Leaked images surface of a BlackBerry Slider

We are now seeing a few images (above) of what is being reported to be an upcoming BlackBerry slider style handset. The phone is noted as being called the “Slider” original, I know. But that aside there is some confusion as to whether or not this is a current, or now dead prototype model. Of course, there was a mention of some video of the above pictured handset as well, but that has yet to surface. Basically as of now this may, or may not be the Storm 3. Personally I am hoping for the not. As far as evidence suggesting that this is not an older model, well, the buttons and trackpad seem to be up to date and modern. After all that is a touchpad and not a trackball. Other rumored specs that come along with this image include that it will be running OS 6.0.
