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

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 Blackberry "O", as in the letter O, because it is an orgasmic experience.

Posted by mattmarenic Wednesday, Apr 30, 2008 1481 days ago

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...

Posted by Kieran Wednesday, Apr 30, 2008 1481 days ago

Blackberry Cuboid...

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

Posted by ANOYNMOUS (michelle) Wednesday, Apr 30, 2008 1481 days ago

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)

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!

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

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.

Posted by Anonymous Wednesday, Apr 30, 2008 1481 days ago

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

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.

Posted by Morpheus Thursday, May 01, 2008 1481 days ago

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 :)

Posted by Kieran Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

I have a new one... I think it should be called...
Blackberry 'apple thought they had a sure thing, in your face apple, now this berry is one that you can't mess with'
aka the Blackberry ATTHASTIYFANTBIOTYCMW

Posted by ricpac Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

BlackBerry Spectrum or BlackBerry Wave (it's got all frequencies covered!)

Blackberry "Revelation"

Posted by stbeck Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by dhitta24 Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

CALL IT THE BLACKBERRY SKILL 9000...

Posted by safri Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

I would call it as the Ultimate BlackBerry.

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

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

Posted by luc-mobile Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by sher_zx6r Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

I think it should be called DRAGON

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

Posted by the1 Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by fantom1023 Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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.

Posted by Marliann Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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)?

Posted by Anonymous Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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

How about the "Revolution"

Posted by vocals71 Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by brayndeded Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by karenkrick Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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!

Posted by parsadaneshgari Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

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.

Posted by tha_23_greatest Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

I say it will be called the Blackberry Lightning.

Posted by scole Thursday, May 01, 2008 1480 days ago

Blackberry Chrome

Posted by keywest610 Friday, May 02, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by keywest610 Friday, May 02, 2008 1480 days ago

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.

Posted by keywest610 Friday, May 02, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by tha_23_greatest Friday, May 02, 2008 1480 days ago

Another idea I have is BB Black Magic

Posted by bvandeutekom Friday, May 02, 2008 1480 days ago

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

Posted by Porkzilla Friday, May 02, 2008 1479 days ago

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

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!!

Posted by Hazysky Sunday, May 04, 2008 1477 days ago

Posted by Snyper912 Monday, May 05, 2008 1476 days ago

I'd call it the BlackBerry Silk

Posted by ChrisGrant Monday, May 05, 2008 1476 days ago

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???

Posted by igobyzach Monday, May 05, 2008 1476 days ago

blackberry niagra?? maybe...

Posted by conmetal Tuesday, May 06, 2008 1475 days ago

My suggestions would be:
Blackberry Steele 9000
Blackberry Express 9000
Blackberry Executive 9000

Vodafone netherlands present it as Blackberry Indy!

Posted by Anonymous Saturday, May 10, 2008 1471 days ago

But "Indy" isn't the official RIM name for the 9000 ;)

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Sunday, May 11, 2008 1470 days ago

Sounds like BlackBerry Bold is the name of the game here.... which hasn't yet popped up yet.

Once it's confirmed by RIM, we'll pick a winner regardless form one of the names above!
