Those of you on #TeamBlackBerry already know RIM is planning to drop no less than seven BlackBerry models running its new OS 7 before 2012. One of the bedrock models is the new touchscreen Bold 9900/9930. Before RIM had a chance to officially announce the device itself, Verizon take it upon itself to release a demo video for the 9930—and from the looks of it, it seems to be quite the little handset.

Here's what we know about the Verizon varient of the Bold from the video: It's the thinnest BlackBerry ever; it has a multi-touchscreen, a larger keyboard, eight GB of onboard memory with support for up to 32GB of MicroSD storage, and a five-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash that can capture video at 720p. 

We can't verify this, but according to the video the Bold 9930 will run on Verizon's 4G LTE network. There's been no word yet on pricing or availability. Stay tuned.
