There are leaked shots floating all around the interwebs supposedly of the BlackBerry 9000 The big news is that there is no touch screen. If these truly are pictures of the BlackBerry 9000 I have to say that I am a bit disappointed. Not so much because of the lack of a touch screen, but, because it would appear that RIM has gone back to that BlackBerry 8800 keyboard configuration where the keys are just too dag on close to each other.
I think that RIM hit the nail squarely on the head with the BlackBerry Curve, it’s fully QWERTY keyboard with good spacing between the keys, and the size of the device, just being a bit wider than the SureType BlackBerry Pearl devices.
If these are pictures of the BlackBerry 9000 lets hope that the keyboard feels a lot better than it looks.
There are pictures of the back and the inside of the BlackBerry 9000 after the jump…

Hellno, there is no excuse for your poor actions. Any adult knows you can’t blame your piss poor actions on someone else.
If “assjack” upsets you, better grow a thicker skin or set your browser to http://www.POWDERPUFFmarkable.com
Another word of wisdom, your “disrespect towards others” does NOTHING, it’s not at all called for, and is disrespectful to RIMarkable, Robb, and everyone else here. Know your role. Better to read, understand then either agree or disagree, leave it and move on. You have a chip on your shoulders because of a post on a open forum, where wireless devices are the topic? RIMArkable is not the place for you to turn posts around to make personal jabs, attacks and to desperately try and grandstand when your opinion doesn’t match anothers.
No apologies since like posts they matter not, move on and adjust your actions… or your browser.
I am done on this topic. I have a tissue if you need it.
JHP2 again you show us all just what type of person you truly are. Keep that tissue, your going to need it.
Hellno,
The irony is too rich to let go of just yet. The simple point I am making is that with the exception using one particular word, you do everything you accuse others/me of doing.
BTW, I still love the fact that the article you referenced confirmed my original point. You know, the one you said was fiction.
See you in other threads. May the Force be with you.
All the I, I, I, you, you, you, grandstanding and LIES too…

“I am done on this topic.”
@ hellidiot
I’m concerned that you reduced your dosage and somehow escaped the asylum again. Its actually YOUR comments that offend tick people off when they give educated comments and all you feed is your VZW sucks, iPhone rules and here’s some links crap. Then you wonder why you get abused? Debate, don’t negate. Oh, and here’s a link for you since you’re into them…
http://www.hellnoisamoran.com
Plenty of good info and should help you out.
@ jhp2
I’ve been at this with hellno for some time now. Started when I switched from TMO to VZW on the Pearl for the 3G tethering and better call coverage and quality. He said it was a downgrade. Obviously he’s not familiar with anything that relates to technology, and is dysfunctional when it comes to a discussion. His syle of writing leads me to believe he’s missing a few cells and belongs to a dungeons and dragons group.
@ jhp2
And to further explain, when I switched over and stayed as such in a comment of mine when the Pearl came out on VZW, he wrote as if I were an agent of VZW. Personally, I don’t care who the company is as long as it’s good and provides me with what I need. He uses words like vealot, zelot, fanboy, etc. Throws in wacky links and mentions that the iPhone would make a great holiday gift.
Next he’s going to say that the iPhone is going to replace the desktop and will feed my dog.
Blue,
Amen brother. He really does not realize how offensive he is when he responds to people. Now he is calling me a liar. The anonymity of the internet leads to some very interesting behavior. In any event, I have been called worse by better people.
Have a great weekend!
Blue,
BTW, how is that VZW Pearl working out? I am not sure it is for me but my 7130e is on it’s last legs. Too many drop tests in my driveway I guess.
Jhp2
So far, so good. I’ve been using the Pearl since day 1 when it came out on TMO and the switch to VZW has been nice. If you can get used to the Pearl and it’s size, then its great. I like the size of the phone as opposed to the larger sized options, such as the 8800. Speed on the browser is good, and tethering is surprisingly very good. I stress very because its better than good and I’m getting good data speeds. Not sure where you reside, but they’ll let you test it out for 30 days for free. Video recording is OK, nothing to go crazy over, and the camera is good. Call quality is solid. I do a lot of speaker phone calls and Bluetooth calls and comes out very clear. The one thing I’d being up that can be of concern is the trackball. While they say its improved, I think it actually took a step backwards. I liked the previous track ball which seemed more accurate. I’ve already brought one Pearl back because of the ball…just doesn’t seemed to grip as well. I’ve gotten used to it, but its something that others may not like.
VZW hasn’t locked this one down as much as they have with other phones, but it still has its limitations, like not being able to install google maps. I did install yahoo messenger, use it all the time, and the haven’t picked up the texts. I’ll take it.
BTW…all my comments are from my Pearl. If I have a spelling error or word that should be something else, then its because of the suretype. But otherwise, with the few errors from time to time, I’m able to fly on this thing. Speaking of which, the keyboard is solid.
Overall, it gives me everything I need and the tethering is very good, the big bonus in my opinion and one of the reasons why people chose VZW.
Have a good one.
All the I, I, I, you, you, you, he, he, he, grandstanding and LIES too… ” he is offensive when he responds to” me….
Anyone else hear the violin accompaniment in the background?

Now the thread is about personal thoughts and dreams, “love me daddy”…. nice going. How nice they found each other, see JHP2 told you to keep your tissue that you’d need it…. “Ignorance Likes Company”

Verizon Relents on DUN… Just a Tiny Bit
Submitted by Ed Hardy on Friday, February 03, 2006
Verizon users have been complaining for years that this carrier disables Dial-Up Networking (DUN) on many of the devices it offers.
This means that they can’t be used as a wireless modem for other devices, like a laptop.
Now, for the first time, Verizon’s hard-line stance has cracked, if only a little bit.
According to PC Magazine, this carrier is now allowing users of just a few of its mobile phones to have access to DUN.
Unfortunately, none of these are Palm OS or Pocket PC models.
And users are expected to pay heavily for the service. It costs $60 a month, on top of any other services one has subscribed to.
Also, users are expected to use a cable, not Bluetooth, although many of them could use this short-range wireless networking standard.
Still, surely many Verizon customers will take this as a sign that the carrier might relent more in the future.
(Those in the know, realize vzw is being forced to allow DUN, as vzw upgrades to the GSM family of technologies)
Gheeze!!! Will one of you just let it go?
Blue,
Thanks for the update on the Pearl. I tether on the 7130 and it works well but it is not rev A, so I get right about 400K most of the time. Most of my co-workers that have a Pearl are on the corporate T-Mo plan so tethering really is not an option due to data speeds. I like the trackball idea a lot as I used Treo’s for years and when I switched to the BB, I developed one heck of a case of BB thumb. Used to have to ice it nightly so I am glad to have another option. Interestingly, we are no longer going to upgrade the BES at work and are being encouraged to go to Windows devices. Unfortunately, the VZW Q is a toy not a corporate device.
@ jhp2
Sorry to hear about the switch. I have the MS devices plenty of chances but they weren’t reliable enough. When the treo 700p came out, I was there day one. I just don’t think they were built for heavy users like myself. The crashes drove me nuts, and the hanging calls forced me to reset at least once per day. If there’s one thing I give BB is stability. Not the prettiest OS, but certainly reliable.
Also forgot to mention it now that you brought it up, the Pearl on VZW runs Rev. A. Just one of those important features I forgot to include.
Whoa, hold the press! Robb please mark the date. Even though it has little to do with the current thread, must say I am in agreement with bluehorseshoe and jhp2 on their thought about M$ devices (after also giving M$ many chances to prove itself, and it’s failure to do so) Also agree about the current and ongoing sad state of Palm devices too, though never thought my 650 Palm was anywhere close as good as my 8700 BB… Now if that 8700 only had a camera, and played as nice with the MacOS.
Not that it matters but why would RIM with the new BB8130 only support TIA-856 Rev A? It hardly matters though since voda/verizon have already said they are upgrading to GSM/LTE, which is coming soon to break the closed, proprietary cdma chain as industry is moving away from the Qualcomm dominated CDMA air-interface, to the standard, open global GSM family of technologies LTE.
there’s a picture of the blackberry 9000, that’s silver with a touch screen, i thought that was it? because if it is then i’d really want to purchase one.
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:

someone can tell me how to do my BB9000 work as a internet modem using my laptop? thanks
