Guess the 9000's Name (assuming it gets one)!

BlackBerry 9000 Hardware Specs - Now What to Call It?!

By Kevin Michaluk on 30 Apr 2008 03:54 pm

Building upon yesterday's OS4.6 feature enhancements news, the BG followed up today with confirmed final hardware specs on the BlackBerry 9000. Nothing too new to report here that hasn't been rumored before, but figured it's worthy of a post as I wanted to Pose a Question to the CrackBerry Community. It seems whether this new device gets released as strictly the 9000 or will be given a consumer market name like the CURVE or PEARL has to be determined.

What I want to know is, what you would name the new BlackBerry 9000?! I was thinking I'd give it a name like Earl or Duke or Betsy or Daisy...that would be sweet. Check out my BlackBerry...she's a Daisy. What's that gadget? It's the Duke of Smartphones. Maybe not. Leave your ideas in the comments... they HAVE to be better than mine.

Heck, let's turn it into a contest. Be the first person to leave a comment on this post with the name that the BlackBerry 9000 is ultimately released under (assuming it gets a REAL name and not just numbers) and we'll hook you up with a new case and standard bluetooth headset of your choice courtesy of ShopCrackBerry.com!

Make sure that you're logged in or your entry won't count.
Contest open until RIM actually makes their official Press Release.
In the event the device gets released under the 9000 brand (no catchy word to go with it), we'll give the prizes out to the most creative answer.

Woah..got carried away with the contest...I almost forgot the topic of this post. Here are "final" specs for the BlackBerry 9000 (to hopefully be released along with a cooler name) as reported by BG:

Radio - GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA
Bands - Quad-band GPRS/EDGE: 800/850/1800/1900MHz
HSDPA: 850/1900/2100MHz (praise the lord!)
Expandable memory - microSD
Display - HVGA Color LCD (480×320)
TrackBall Navigation
Camera - 2MP (Boo!)
Wi-Fi - a,b,g
A-GPS
Battery - 1500mAh
High quality material, high-end finish
Operating System Software - version 4.6

I love how "high quality materials and high-end finish" is a feature. I think that's the tell-tale sign that the info above is legit.

Don't forget to post your NAME suggestions in the comments!!!!

it should be called: The Chuck Norris

centralprkwest Apr 30, 2008 at 4:07 pm

It should be called the Blackberry "O", as in the letter O, because it is an orgasmic experience.

mattmarenic Apr 30, 2008 at 4:08 pm

So we have Pearl, Curve and unamed 88xx series. Guess this is some big release for RIM so they should make some fancy and rather unique name...

I would like to have some name like Wave, Flux or Neon...

Kieran Apr 30, 2008 at 4:08 pm

Blackberry Cuboid...

A Cuboid is a rectangular prism... i feel it looks less round then a curve or pearl, thus closer to a rectangle

ANOYNMOUS (michelle) Apr 30, 2008 at 4:10 pm

WOW, I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST BLACKBERRY YET ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE FEATURES.

I WOULD NAME IT : THE NEW BLACKBERRY 9000 X-PLOS ( FOR X-PLOSION, SINCE IT HAS SOME GREAT EXPLOSIVE NEW FEATURES)

poseidon66 Apr 30, 2008 at 4:10 pm

Intrepid 9000!

BlackBerry Sleek

sleek

Kevin Michaluk Apr 30, 2008 at 4:37 pm

Meteor was/is the internal project name for the device - not what it would be released under. Curve and Pearl both had "galatic" names prior to their release too!

drg1138 Apr 30, 2008 at 4:31 pm

If I was going to name it I would call it The Crystal.

karcher70 Apr 30, 2008 at 4:30 pm

My guess is "SPARK"

jwilcox09 Apr 30, 2008 at 4:30 pm

I think it should and hopefully will be called the Blackberry Edge!!!!

So does anyone know if the creen size for the new upcoming BB 9000 is actually bigger than current BB 8800/8300 etc? (320 x 240) official reports say the screen size is actually 480 x 320 but every photo I've seen including one from ebay which I almost bought looks the same as current generation scree size.

Anonymous Apr 30, 2008 at 6:39 pm

is this made by RIM so they can test the new BB or what?? i think they are trying to know if we like it or not and they want us to name ot for them too!!! niceeeee

Edward Alexander Teylan Apr 30, 2008 at 6:40 pm

I'm thinking BlackBerry Raise. Those stats are sure to raise/rise some eyebrows. They're great! Except for the dinky 2MP camera.

Blackberry CRUSH...
For obvious reasons.

Goes along with one of the most popular names for Blackberry Models "Curve" (the whole C alliteration thing)... And Judging by the specs its going to "Crush" the competition. Maybe a little cheezy, but I think its a strong and kind of brazen name for a new phone like this.

Morpheus May 1, 2008 at 1:58 am

Didn't like this thing first glance..but the more I see it the more I am liking it...I think these names are fitting for a device that can do so much; Zeus, Aries, Morph, or Life...

I'll go on the record to say it will be called ...... insert drumroll here....... THE Blackberry. That's it. I could easily see them not using a numeric name nor a "catch" name. Just call it The Blackberry. This "Self title" thing seems to work well in the Music industry when naming albums
ie. Metalica,David Bowie,The Greatfull Dead,Elvis Presley,The Rolling Stones, Santana,......you get my point :)

the new device will likely not have a consumer name, but will be known in elite circles as the "cascade" ;-)

CALL IT THE BLACKBERRY SKILL 9000...

safri May 1, 2008 at 12:00 pm

I would call it as the Ultimate BlackBerry.

Link May 1, 2008 at 12:41 pm

Blackberry Meteor

Brent Fraliex May 1, 2008 at 12:55 pm

New name for the RIM 9000 should be Blackberry 3G...

kmeyers02 May 1, 2008 at 1:30 pm

BB Revolution....cause it's coming baby!!

N.yoong May 1, 2008 at 1:32 pm

Since the last was a curve and now blackberry wants to get everything straight.. i'm taking my chance with blackberry straight...

jwesl May 1, 2008 at 2:57 pm

The BlackBerry "Raven"

markc88 May 1, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Just call it HAL, and for those that remember that name they will understand.

kwanzor May 1, 2008 at 3:42 pm

Blackberry Edge !!!

luc-mobile May 1, 2008 at 4:12 pm

It's the first 3G Blackberry ever, so I recommend BLACKBERRY TRIGGER.

sher_zx6r May 1, 2008 at 4:20 pm

I think it should be called DRAGON

sher_zx6r May 1, 2008 at 4:22 pm

Blackberry Matrix

Ebby Stevens May 1, 2008 at 4:51 pm

I think they should call it 'Blade' and give Wesley Snipes a free one!

Blackberry Blade

chairguru22 May 1, 2008 at 5:29 pm

BlackBerry Storm

heyjude May 1, 2008 at 5:34 pm

The only way you are ever going to get anything later than OS 4.2!

the1 May 1, 2008 at 6:16 pm

I like Storm but looking at it I would have called it like...

Blackberry Stratus or
Blackberry Endeavor

*those just sound so cool to me*...lol

fantom1023 May 1, 2008 at 7:53 pm

I think it should be called the Blackberry Chrome, due to the awesomely sleek chrome rim around the edge. Or the Edge or even the Fantom after me(lol). When are they expected to be out again?, I have to have one.

Marliann May 1, 2008 at 7:51 pm

Well, I think that it should have a real name, so that it has it's own personality so to speak. What about Ozzii (pronounced like Ozzie, just with a cooler spelling)?

Anonymous May 1, 2008 at 8:14 pm

Isn't it supposed to be the Blackberry Storm? I don't know if this is an Iphone killer, but I will stick with that. The Blackberry Stormm

Greyhound1957 May 1, 2008 at 8:17 pm

How about the "Revolution"

vocals71 May 1, 2008 at 8:54 pm

just a thought.... how about the "Blackberry Atmosphere"

brayndeded May 1, 2008 at 9:14 pm

in keeping with the theme of the popular 'pearl', and seeing how this 9000 is suppose to be the big daddy of them all...(at least until the 'kickstart' comes out)...i would have to call it the crowning "JEWEL" of all the blackberrys.
or maybe the SLATE or GRANITE

karenkrick May 1, 2008 at 9:42 pm

Call it the Hurricane:
It will blow your mind, will be at the center of attention, will spin around the world, and everyone will have their eye on it!

karenkrick May 1, 2008 at 9:45 pm

parsadaneshgari May 1, 2008 at 9:57 pm

My name is Parsa Daneshgari and I think that this Blackberry should be called the "Blackberry Blade". I think this name fits the device well and has a nice ring to it. Also, I think "Blackberry Blade" fits well with the device RIM has that looks similar to this one: the Blackberry Curve. I think "Blackberry Blade" goes along well with the other Blackberry device names and that is what I think RIM should go with when naming this device for release.

tha_23_greatest May 1, 2008 at 9:55 pm

I say it will be called the Blackberry Lightning.

scole May 1, 2008 at 10:05 pm

Blackberry Chrome

keywest610 May 2, 2008 at 12:19 am

I think naming the 9000 Series the Blackberry Smooth would be cool. My screen name is Keywest610.

keywest610 May 2, 2008 at 12:21 am

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but when I went to post the comment before my computer gave me an error that I wasn't connected to the internet.

Anyway...I think calling the BB9000 Series the Blackberry Smooth would be cool.

keywest610 May 2, 2008 at 12:22 am

My screen name is Keywest610. My choice, if you haven't already gotten the previous posts I sent is "Blackberry Smooth."

tha_23_greatest May 2, 2008 at 12:30 am

Another idea I have is BB Black Magic

crimsonlite May 2, 2008 at 2:28 am

BlackBerry Ice

Bravo209 May 2, 2008 at 3:15 am

It shall be The Blackberry Flash!

Tony Bravo

Bravo209 May 2, 2008 at 3:26 am

Actually I think it will be called The Blackberry Phantom!

A.V.N May 2, 2008 at 3:49 am

Black Berry Cruise!!!

When should I collect my royalty checks from RIM!

A.V.N May 2, 2008 at 3:53 am

Black Berry Cruise!

When do I collect my royalty checks from RIM?

bvandeutekom May 2, 2008 at 4:58 am

Blackberry Wizard?
Blackberry Evo?
Blackberry Beau?
Blackberry Berk? (Turkish name meaning "solid, strong")
Blackberry Bliss?

Porkzilla May 2, 2008 at 7:18 am

Blackberry Fire. Not sure if someone said it before.

But since they have a "Curve," this one could be the "Quadrilateral."

IMHO, I think it will just stay the 9000

tomdick May 2, 2008 at 12:33 pm

Shawn C May 2, 2008 at 12:58 pm

That, my friend, is the Blackberry Rogue.

How about Blackberry 'Silhouette.'
The icons inspired that.

SilverSurfR May 4, 2008 at 1:48 am

I came up with...
BB ESQ or Esquire
BB Grace
BB Phoenix

Tomas1983 May 4, 2008 at 4:58 am

I work for Vodafone UK and we recently (2 months ago) had an internal spec sheet going around for a bunch of pre release phones, including the W890i, c902 etc etc... and this or what looks like this was on it and it showed as a blackberry 8900... which tells me that as soon as this comes out that Vodafone will get hold of it mainly for its business bunch...

...either way i don't think it will get a consumer name. i think it will be like my trusty 8800 and be stuck with a numbers only deal. Oh and people will hate me for this but we in the uk think that the Blackberry "kickstart" seriously sucks and looks like a fat Motorola, then again the UK really doesn't like flip phones... But bring on the AK!!

Hazysky May 4, 2008 at 3:18 pm

Blackberry Steel

Snyper912 May 5, 2008 at 11:35 am

I'd call it the BlackBerry Silk

ChrisGrant May 5, 2008 at 4:15 pm

If we can go off of my sentiment i would use the adult friendly "Holy f***ing s**t this phone totally owns the iphone, i think i just c**e in my pants"

or the kid friendly the "apple sucks" phone

ok ok, ridiculous, but we all have dreams dont we???
