Apparently, this could be what RIM is codenaming the Mr. T aka the BlackBerry Storm 3. Clearly, it's got a similar factor-form to the Palm Pre. This is unconfirmed right now, but it's looking like this touchscreen slider will pop up again in the near future with a video. It doesn't look all that great but I'm sure if RIM were to render it all nice and stuff some people would fall in love with it.

There's not much they can really do to this handset to make it more BlackBerry-like. It's got the optical trackpad and a familiar keyboard as well.

Update: According to CrackBerry's lengthy post, this handset likely won't be the Storm 3 since it'll be part of the Bold Series. At least, that's what they believe. Apparently, there won't be SurePress on this screen and it'll act more like every other touchscreen out there.
