With Verizon carrying an 8130, an 8330, and a 7130, is it really any surprise that they’ve re-dubbed the BlackBerry 9500 series (Thunder) as the 9530?

Some sneak managed to grab a screen cap of the latest product inventory screen, and shot it over to the guys at BGR. There it is, in all its glory: BB9530T.

The source also solidified past murmurs that the device would launch on the VeeZeeDub come Oct. 13th. 65 more days until we get to see how well RIM plays with touchscreens, folks!
