BlackBerry Bold 9800 slides open, shows off promising WebKit-based browser

We’ve known RIM has had a WebKit-based browser in its rear pocket since Mobile World Congress, and with confirmation that BlackBerry OS 6.0 would have traces of WebKit throughout, this discovery was simply inevitable. The BlackBerry Bold 9800 (polarizing design and all) has just made its most interesting appearance yet, this time showing off a purported WebKit-based web browser with a trio of tabs collected up top. Never mind the fact that whoever was using this clearly wishes he / she was browsing on an iPhone — it’s the 100/100 Acid3 test result that really titillates. ‘Course, that could very well be a JPEG loaded up to fool us all, but we aren’t losing the faith just yet. Head on down to the source for a few more teases.
