Unwired View got their hands on some new patented sketches by RIM.  By the looks of it, these devices are indeed strange and unusual.  It’s one of those love it or hate it concepts, mostly “hate it” on my part at least.  From what it looks like, RIM is trying to catch up with flip phones which they already did and failed, and now slider devices.  In this case the slider phones operate a little differently as they have screens that tilt to landscape modes and some very oddly designed keyboards.  Check out the one with 2 SureType keys and the rest QWERTY, confusion anyone?
