The Boy Genius just broke a huge story - BlackBerry is going to release a Flip Phone - the first ever for the Canadian Giant RIM.

RIM is planning to launch a flip phone within the year, and we now have the pictures to prove it! As you can see, it uses a SureType keyboard, has an external LCD, and a pretty decent looking internal LCD. It also uses the TrackBall for navigation and does have a camera. We?re hearing a release date before the end of the year. Head on over to the gallery on the Boy Genius Site for all the pictures of the brand new BlackBerry flip phone!
