iPhone with slide-out full QWERTY, is to challenge BlackBerry

It seems to be another rumor claiming that Apple is developing another version of iPhone, which is an iPhone equipped with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

The keyboarded iPhone is specially made to compete in the market which has been dominated by BlackBerry. The keyboarded iPhone is surely not to target the consumer marker. As consumers are already used to typing on the iPhone’s touchscreen.

The keyboarded version is to target office workers or executives who prefer typing on a full-sized QWERTY instead of the touchscreen.

In order to maintain almost the same size with the existing version of iPhone, the QWERTY keyboard of this new version of iPhone is to be slide-out. When you don’t need it, just slide the QWERTY in for better storage. The keyboarded iPhone will not be coming this year. At the current stage, it’s got some prototypes that have been sent to senior executives at some operators. And there are still some issues need to be solved.
