BlackBerry 9000

Here’s a picture of the latest BlackBerry, just announced by RIM. The specs are:

  • Tri-band HSDPA
  • GPS
  • WiFi
  • 624MHz mobile processor
  • 1GB of memory
  • 128MB of Flash
  • microSD/SDHC memory card slot
  • 2 megapixel camera
  • 480×320 screen resolution

An interesting new device from RIM, although it will appeal to BlackBerry fans, it’s still not got the specs of the high end smartphones, such as the N95 8Gb, although it’s getting close.

In other news, RIM has announced a deal with Microsoft to bring Windows Live Messenger to the BlackBerry platform, which finally provides an instant messaging solution that spreads wider than just the BlackBerry community. What’s not clear is whether this will work with companies who use the internal Windows Live Messenger service, or whether it’s only linked to the public MSN service.
