All the major phone manufacturers are all abuzz about creating an iPhone killer much like the digital music industry was trying to create an iPod killer. Now Microsoft might have finally succeeded at doing that with the new generation Zune as it's currently hard to find in many US retailers. But that's not the story for today. Today I am here to report on the Blackberry 9000 which is supposed to be an iPhone killer.
RIM is one of the only big name brands yet to come out with some sort of response to Apple's iPhone. Now that is all about to change. Jim Balsille, co-CEO of RIM, and the most publicized out of the RIM top shots, has slowly been changing the direction of the company to a more consumerist market rather than the business one. With the huge success of the Blackberry Pearl, it only makes sense that they make this step to produce a product to match and beat the iPhone.
From first impressions it didn't look all that good but it's not the best quality picture and you should never judge a phone by it's looks with the first picture. Deep inside the phone is a brand new 600mhz processor, HSDPA, 3G, and a backup and restore center to keep all your data safe. The B&R center will let users download their backup to a memory card, a must have for businessmen. A touchscreen is the main focal point of this phone which makes it out to be an iPhone killer. These specs are only fact-filled rumours, but one thing is for sure, the release date is supposed to be early 2008, so don't expect to get it as a stocking stuffer.
A 600mhz processor is the cherry on the top for the Blackberry 9000. It will definitely sway frustrated Apple iPhone owners as they suffer from bottleneck internet speeds. The processor will give a huge boost to the speed. On top of that, instead of WiFi, the 900 will have HSDPA, a real speed demon that will do voice and data at the same time. Good thing Rogers is offering 3G speeds, and the phone positions itself well in the US market.
