QWERTY CameraBerry with Wi-Fi in time for Christmas…

It seems like we have been posting a lot rumors coming from Engadget’s mobile insider and BlackBerry Forums supermoderator Boy Genius lately, however, his word is golden and he has yet another leak on an upcoming BlackBerry model.

Over on Engadgetmobile, the Boy Genius tells us that Research in Motion will most likely have another CameraBerry with a full QWERTY keyboard and WiFi by Christmas. Additionally the new device, which will be called the BlackBerry 8200, will have a faster processor, more RAM, and possibly even an updated camera as compared to the BlackBerry Pearl.

Boy Genius says that RIM is still testing out hardware configurations, however, the BlackBerry 8200 will be about the size of a Motorola Q and black seems to be the front runner as far as colors go.

All that I can say is, “Get us some pictures Boy. We are dying to see what it looks like”.

Looks like BoyGenius Blinged out his BlackBerry 8700g

It looks like BlackBerry insider extraodinair, Boy Genius, decided, like Pharrell, that one of the most “baller-iffic” (see Lost Episodes of the Dave Chapelle Show for a definition of baller-iffic) things you can do is bling out your BlackBerry with 18k gold. If you are a baller and can stand the the bit of signal loss, Jacob the Jewler can hook you up…

BlackBerry Addiction Researcher on Squawk Box this morning

Gayle Porter, Associate Professor of Management at the Rutgers-Camden School of Business, you know, the researcher that says that BlackBerrys are addictive and that if you become hooked, your company could be liable, was on MSNBC’s Squawk Box this morning.

Let’s see… I pretty much check my BlackBerry whenever an email comes in. I use my BlackBerry for work in the evenings and on the weekends for. If I forget my BlackBerry at home, I feel crappy about it. I even wrote a post about being addicted to my BlackBerry almost a year a go.

I don’t, however, check email while in mid sentence, shun away from normal human interaction for using my BlackBerry, and have the ability to go for extended periods of time (days or weeks even) without having my BlackBerry within in 30 feet.

I probably don’t have a case.
