RIM Planning Thunder-ous Response to iPhone?

The latest threat in the plot to kill the iPhone's popularity comes from smartphone leader Research In Motion. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that RIM is planning to unveil a touch-screen BlackBerry model sometime in Q3.

Citing "people familiar with the matter," the Journal says the new iPhone killer will be called the Thunder (guess you have to go pretty strong after introducing the Bold), and will be exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the US and Vodafone in Europe.

RIM has yet to comment on the report.
