The BlackBerry 8330 will be announced and available prior to WES. Although this is pure speculation, it appears the BlackBerry 9000 will be announced the week of WES (a la BlackBerry Curve in 2007) and available by June/July. This is based on a number of things that have been leaked on to the internet (Vodafone slides, for example). The OS for the 9000 is in it's carrier certification infancy (version 4.6.0.4), so that may or may not put it on track for the mid-Summer release. RIM will be hard-pressed not to announce it during WES. Heaven knows that everyone and their mom at RIM wants to carry one of these devices in Orlando - they were the envy of WES 2007 and I'm sure they liked the attention.
