The touch screen device will sport a large 360-by-480 touch display on a glass surface similar to the original iPhone. The Thunder is expected to be a robust multimedia player, be able to record videos, and BB Sync said it will sport a carrier music store that will have over-the-air download capabilities. The handset also is expected to run OS 4.7, and could give Apple a real run for its money.
