Rumor: BlackBerry 9000 To Have Front-Facing Camera

BlackBerry 9000 to have front-facing video camera?A Spanish blogger has been fortunate enough to get his hands on a BlackBerry 9000. AND...he has let word out (by accident?) that the device has a front-facing video camera. No word on if this camera is in addition to the more traditional rear-facing camera. Keep this one under unconfirmed rumors at this point. Could be hogwash.

Can you imagine the possibilities though. With RIM finally offering video recording on devices and now (apparently) offering a front-mounted Camera on the 3G 9000...Lots of opportunity there for video conferencing on the go! For those who have had less-than warm feelings towards the 9000 so far, the thought of this should be making you at least a little warm and fuzzy! 

As I always say... Time will tell!

I think that it's probably true. ATT is now starting to advertise their Video Chat feature.

Saw it on Conan the other night. Looked impressive. (The video chat feature)

This would be what Europe had over two years ago. I had a Motorola E1000 that had a regular camera on the back and a camera for video conferencing on the front.

Meh .. a frontward facing camera still doesn't un-uglify the design. I'll hold on to my curve me thinks.

The more I see of the new 9000 series the less impressed I am. It seems that the upgrades really do not warrant the 9000 series mark. But as was said, "Time will tell". I never believe rumors until I actually have the device in hand. We can only wish right now!

I really don't think this device is going to have a front-facing camera. This blog post lists a few good reasons why.

That sure would be cool, though...

This would be such an awesome feature! And apparently it will have BOTH Wi-Fi and GPS!
My only question is why on this? The design, in my opinion, looks horrible! They should have put these features on the curve. Or at least just come up with a newer version of the curve with these features!
THE 9000 LOOKS WAAAAYYY TOO MUCH LIKE THE IPHONE!!!
