More information regarding that mysterious BlackBerry slider seems to be coming out. The details are coming courtesy of the Boy Genius Report who claim to have received word from one of their “solid connects.” That said, this information does seem believable, but should still be placed in the rumor category.

Anyway, on with the rumored details. The recently pictured BlackBerry slider is going to become available with Sprint. But that seems like it will be just one model. In addition to the Sprint version it was also mentioned that their will be a GSM/HSPA version which will have support for the 850/1900MHz UMTS bands that are needed for AT&T and Rogers.

Other details include that the slider will launch with as the BlackBerry 9000 and BlackBerry 9300.

Nothing was mentioned in terms of a time frame for release, but they did say that the slider does not seem to be connected at all to the Bold name.
