In a post-iPhone world gone mad for smartphones some may be forgetting the those friendly Canadians are not resting ahead of the BlackBerry Bold, rather they are pumping out a fresh approach - their first clamshell, the KickStart.

Featuring LCD display with a QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels), an external display with 128 x 160 pixels, the latest BalckBerry 4.6 OS, a full QWERTY keypad, the Kickstart may be a gentle dabble into the consumer market opened for them by the Pearl.

What do you think - is the world ready for the fashion BlackBerry?
