1.2 ghz processor sounds great. Hopefully a little more “peppy”; by BlackBerry standards anyway. GSM means it won’t be on Verizon though, bummer. Like that big display too, hopefully a little more user-friendly for typing than the Storm 9550. Glad to see more touch screen options being released by BlackBerry.
