Most of the modern world and geeks really into cell phones know that the BlackBerry Thunder is coming to do battle with the iPhone. The Thunder is an all touch screen device and some spy pics of its on-screen keyboard have hit the Internet.

The Thunder has a feature that I wish my iPhone had, an on-screen keyboard that changes orientation when you hold the device on its side or vertically. When on its side the keyboard is said to change into a well spaced full QWERTY unit.

When held upright it reverts to the familiar SureType system. The keyboard is said to support multi-touch so you can type with both thumbs for more texting speed.
