COMING ATTRACTIONS
We get a glimpse of the next high-end Blackberry from this post by Boy Genius Report:
"Remember the BlackBerry 9000? It looks like that wasn’t a BlackBerry 9000 at all, but rather another device in the BlackBerry 8000-series! According to this document, which completely validates all our predictions of specs for the device, the BlackBerry 8xxx will see a commercial launch on Vodafone in May of this year.
The specs one more time? 624MHz processor built on the new Tavor chipset, full HSDPA with tri-band UMTS (850/1900/2100), a "half VGA" screen (480 x 320), a frickin’ 1500mAh battery, GPS, Wi-Fi, a 2 megapixel camera, and will be targeted to the high-end BlackBerry users.
Again, we’re looking at a May release for Vodafone, so we can’t imagine AT&T is going to be far behind, they might even get it before!"
Assuming the picture is close to what the new model looks like, I can't help but think it's pretty much what an iPhone would look like if it came with a physical keyboard and a trackball. That's something I've wished for before. Nice job by RIMM, if this picture and report are close to the real thing.
