So this comes as a shock this morning, the BGR has some new details on BlackBerry Thunder. In case you don't know what the BlackBerry Thunder is it’s the touch screen BlackBerry also temporally modeled 9500. Now here's the thing you would have expected it to be a Quadband GSM device, well guess what? So far it’s a CDMA Rev. C (UMB) device slated for a Q3 of this year launch exclusively on Verizon and Vodafone.

Now according to BGR if Verizon doesn't meet the sales quota projected by RIM then they loose the exclusiveness and other CDMA carriers would be able to launch it (maybe some people in Canada??). I would imagine to see a 3G version coming as well, they're just isn't any details yet on that.

Oh also the image above IS NOT AN ACTUAL image of the device simply a mockup of what it could look like. It’s said the device will sport only four buttons send, end, BlackBerry menu key and back key.
