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.

Thanks Jibi for the info. Am very pleased to hear about the BB 8330. Canadian CDMA users have been waiting with great anticipation for this device. And hope that BELL MOBILITY and/or TELUS release it A.S.A.P.
It sounds as though RIM will be making some exciting announcements at WES relative to the 9000 series!!
Keep on Crackin',
