YouTube Preview ImageA lucky Walmart shopper scored an early BlackBerry 8520 which is slated for an official release on August 5. The main benefit to this new BlackBerry is the removal of the grease trap — aka trackball — in exchange for the first ever BlackBerry trackpad. Don’t be fooled by the looks on this device – you’ll be stepping down to a 2 MP camera which is great if blurry photography is your hobby. That low resolutoin simply seems quaint in this day of 3.2 MP camera. Watch for this to become a freebie extremely quickly.
