Rumor: RIM to launch 4G capable BlackBerry device

An analyst over at Frost & Sullivan is claiming RIM is going to launch a 4G capable BlackBerry device known as Triton. Essentially, if the rumor pans out, the BlackBerry Triton should launch sometime in December, but it is unknown whether it will operate on WiMAX or LTE. The analyst claims it features a “a 5.0 megapixel camera with both front and back imaging.” Such confusing wording could be interpreted to mean it features both a front and rear view camera or a swiveling camera. Since the Curve lineup is typically used for mid-range devices, RIM would probably launch this device under the Bold lineup of higher-end devices. With Android and the iPhone 4 boasting superior hardware, it would be nice to see RIM launch a 4G capable device which video conferencing capabilities. For now, we’ll take this rumor with a grain of salt until we hear something more official from RIM.
