rumorsRumor have abound lately of this supposed "Blackberry killer," a device that will soon overthrow the reign of the RIM Blackberry. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much information about this device.

Until now.

This new Blackberry-like device is supposedly a data-only clamshell that will have no voice capabilities like the original version of the Blackberry. However, this device being called the "Blueberry" for the purposes of comparison and more speculation, will have GPRS support that will enable users to remotely download emails.

Users will have to sign up onto data only tariffs. The "Blueberry" will supposedly be sold through ISPs instead of being sold through mobile phone stores. The ISP will sell these devices already pre-configured to work with its own email mailboxes. OTA (Over the Air) technology can also be used on this device to allow tracking of emails.

If these details from a North American company snitch are to be taken seriously, the Blackberry will be in for a treat. Announcement regarding this new device will come later in the week.
