RIM marketing BlackBerry 9000 as BlackBerry Bold?

BlackBerry 9000 liveWhile Kevin over at CrackBerry has been enjoying his BlackBerry 9000 he seems to have learned of a new name for the device. According to CrackBerry and BGR they both are claiming the new name for the device will be "BlackBerry Bold".

After a little bit of research it appears that blackberrybold.com has been registered to someone in Vancouver and not by RIM as of yet. However RIM does own a wide variety of blackberry9000.com domains including blackberry9130.com.

So it's really hard to say what RIM will launch the BlackBerry 9000 as but we should find out real soon

All the BlackBerry 9000 rumors get washed up

BlackBerry 9000

The Boy Genius has gone on record to clean up all those BlackBerry 9000 rumors. The Financial Post wrote an article claiming that a RIM spokesperson confirmed the upcoming 9000 device will not have any battery issues. According to the post the spokesperson said the 9000's reviewed were prototypes and that the "power management is usually turned off to "help with debugging" feature is usually turned off so users can debug the device.

So apparently the BlackBerry 9000, which will pack 3G with Wi-Fi and a 624MHz Intel processor won't suffer from any battery issues! We'd be really impressed if that's the case.

Is the BlackBerry 9100 hiding around the corner?


According to Jibi, the BlackBerry 9100 might just hiding around the corner. With all the talks about the upcoming BlackBerry 9000, we are wondering if the 9100 might be the 3G front-facing camera model we talked about earlier in the week.

Anyways Jibi over at BGR found some mentions of the BlackBerry 9000 and 9100 in some new Blackberry software. There is also mentions of an "External Display" which sounds very hot.
