Awesome.

BlackBerry 9000 in the wild - Engadget Mobile

yea i just saw that although its awsome the design looks alittle dated, the ui looks awsome I wonder if that can be downloaded to existing devices by firmware update

that is probably part the 4.6 OS upgrade, which I believe will be available for some current devices.

I wish the screen was bigger, but it maybe can't really tell in the photos, looks wider. The battery is f'ing huge, thank God. I plan to get a new and feature filled BB later on, and I think the 9000 is it. I hope the interent and browsing are more iphone like. We need to be able to browse better.

Like Engadget said... Hoped to be more revolutionary than evolutionary

[¼±±¨]9000 appears this time！

how exciting it is!

We already knew that this was what the 9000 looked like, just a bit more. Not sure why people are surprised.

Nice! I like the side loading microSD slot. It doesnt look like much a departure from the 8800 series styling.

well someone wasnt bright in taking those. wonder if they realize RIM would know where each device is for the test group, and since the PIN is clearly showing...someone is going to have some issues with NDA

a bit thinner and a touch wider it looks to me

as well as a clear IMEI

I was thinking same thing Sith someone not to bright

But thanks for the pics

I am just not digging the physical appearance of the 9xxx. Its a bit too rounded at the edges. Kinda reminds me of a wider iphone with buttons or a Moto Q9. However, it does look more solid and the inclusion of the headphone jack and external memory slot is an awesome idea. I hope that metallic part is real metal and not the cheap chrome plastic of the 88xx series. The battery is huge compared to the current one which I'm guessing is due to HSDPA. I haven't seen the flash yet, but if this thing's speakerphone is as great as the 88xx and the volume is just as loud, then I'm sold.

As expected, nothing earth shattering. And its got that same crappy keyboard from the 8800 series. Guess I'll be sticking with my iphone for a while longer.

*** Merged ***

the buttons ARE different and they look BIGGER!

Looks like the sim card will move a bit when bumped

The screen shares the same pixel dimensions as the iPhone, however with much smaller physical dimension, the pixels-per-inch (PPI/DPI) is MUCH higher than the iPhone... aka BETTER image quality. As I mentioned on BGR, imagine watching a DVD at 480p/480i on a 52" FlatTube HDTV versus watching a Blu-Ray movie at 1080p on a 42" Plasma HDTV. I'd take the latter any day, no matter the physical size difference of the screen.

I like the part where they talk about the 3.5 headphone jack.

[Thank welcome reprint more content in the BlackBerry: http://berrytime.blog.sohu.com/]

Forum posts from domestic see, compared with the former spy, the photos I am excited! Very excited!

Figure positive elements:

Earpiece position unchanged, the original design curve bored into wire mesh design, upgrade feeling!
The same signal light location! Blackberry logo position unchanged!
In the four key areas to expand the area will certainly enhance ease of operation!
Trackball seemingly changed the previous silver metal outer ring, and the specific improvements to be added;
All keyboard similar to the 88 and 83 and in the results - not the 83 keys space, an increase of 88 convex profile design, the number of cases-neutral, feel Mody, it is necessary to get the actual machine方才really know, personal touch should be estimated range between 88 and 83, or slightly exceed 83 (after all, 83 small buttons), the key point is to see whether the actual operation easily sliding key;
Very many means the interface is gorgeous! See wifi now? Also a subject of endless 9 Xingfengxieyu craze to the ~ ~ ~-icon is commendable, but not third-party emerged with the question of style, hey ...


Left map points:

3.5 headphones I Obviously, you can be 83 meals without any escalation of the poor 1,10!
Miniusb I inherited, the surrounding metal work, more convenient to plug smooth and protection!
Shortcuts should, metal buttons, and more durable!
TF extraoral protection insertion,啥not said, and moved to tears!
Metal direct continuation of the positive side and down the middle of a previously-separate baffle design, the absolute increase!


The right side features:

The volume size or type of bond from top to bottom by more slender, can look forward to refuse to give up the wheel of the regulation.
Shortcuts, or default cam should be quick and shutter button, a narrow sense, by inconvenient.


Battery cover inside points:

Above labeling, imei numbers are, this is no longer true for playing! ! !
Internal metal pieces seemingly are upgrading work is no longer the one Huahua.
SIM card slot comparison machinery, do not know whether it is not convenient?
So much space, marking the 9000 battery is a new type large-size batteries? Cruise surge capacity? ? ?


Together continue to pay attention to it, if this is true如假包换machine (even if the engineering prototype), I believe that the official announcement should be within 1,2 months things!

Sith, good pickup, who ever signed that NDA will find out how fast it will disappear as well.

You guys still don't understand RIM releases these leaks themselves (and on purpose!) to get everyone excited about their upcoming products and to get people talking! It's marketing 101. No RIM employee who is high enough to have one of these prototypes would be dumb enough to post images to a chinese website exposing such basic information like an IMEI and/or PIN.

i am going to have to disagree with you jmwein

Wirelessly posted (8700g)

The new OS, features, functionality, that excites me. An even better display will be very cool. The looks, however don't do anything for me and I hope it is prettier in real life. The camera is big issue for me, however. I can't have it and be able to have my blackberry with me everywhere I go. But, I know there will eventually be a next generation blackberry without a camera. So, I'll probably be using my 8700 until it quits and switch to an 88XX, unless that next-generation-no-camera model comes along first.

Much improved screen quality and UI looks awesome.

Still don't know about that keyboard..... I'm worried

I'm hoping its not gonna be too thick, it looks that way from the gallery..

I doubt you will see any more camera-less BB being introduced. More people want them then don't. I also read about a patent RIM filed that allows the camera to be hardware disabled. Expect this to be the way of things.

at least for the short term i would assume you will still very much see cameras not built into at least one series devices. The government after all, is still the single largest customer for RIM. It wouldnt make sense to eliminate them from updates by building a camera into a device. Even though going forward it can be disabled by IT policy, I am sure the DoD and Homeland security will want no camera.

Speaking of the buttons. Anyone look carefully at the Engadget's 3rd photo? Notice that it looks like the Letter Q is pealing?! Or are the keys semi transparent? Or I'm I drooling so much that my mind is semi-transparent?

That zen type theme looks like an animated Gif for a desktop picture. Remember how the blackberry8800.com site loads with those beautiful swirling mysts? I want that!

looks dated already

icons should be smaller and floating...i hate that "shadow" backing of the icon...looks really thick too


if this is delayed to fall of 2008 and apple launches 3g iphone with oled screen and 32gb in june... this 9000 will look like a nice paper weight

I think its sexy!!

Add gps and safari browser or native type opera mini 4 in lieu of the proxy based and I am sold on the 9000.

I am waiting to see what both the 9000 with 3g and iphone with 3g will have to offer. Then I will make my decision from there.

Since I just got an AT&T 8820 in October, I am not yet ready for a new blackberry so I can wait a little longer.

Does the new 9000 have a 600mhz processor? I thought I read that somewhere? That should help with browsing the internet better.

I thought the new software would be called 4.5. But in the video, we see "v4.6.0.12"...

9000 is getting 4.6 os old devices 4.5

i would really not want safari as a browser, i would rather take a ms ie then safari for a web browser

What about a mobile mozilla browser?

that would be awesome, but i think mozilla is at a brick wall with their joey! project

I really like opera mini with the desktop view and zooming. I just hate the fact that it uses a proxy so there is always great lag before loading.

If the 9000 is fast enough in both processor and 3g/wi-fi speed, then I think opera should develope a blackberry native version. Then browsing would rock!!

I don't like blackberry's ghetto version of the desktop overview mode.

Bring back the thumb scroll wheel RIM!!!!!! I hate the pearl ball.

doesn't opera need to use their own proxies to format how web pages work? i was always under that impression hence why pages just load better.

Yes, opera has thier own proxies for opera mini. But with my 8820 i get processing for a bit before the page starts to load and then it takes time to actually display all of the content.

Opera has a mobile version native for symbian and windows mobile phones.

I used to have a blackjack and the native version with 3g was much faster than the mini version with the proxy.

I guess you have never played with the iphone. Mobile Safari is 1000 times better then mobile IE.

cant really judge a matter of personal preference there ArgonNJ. saying YOU like it 1000 times better, or YOU find its functionality/feel 1000 times better is one thing. Saying that another person basically doesnt know what they are talking about when they are talking of their personal preference is a stretch.

Thats the only thing thats good about it. And I have played with it for extended periods of time.

and for the record, i happen to agree with you ArgonNJ, mobile safari is, in my opinion, worlds better than other mobile browsers
