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. 

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.  

Christmas has come early to you. Looks like Boy Genius has the scoop on RIM's upcoming new BlackBerry 9000 series, which will compete with Apple's popular iPhone. The BlackBerry 9000 series has some pretty sick features including:

• Intel XScale 620MHz ARM 1173 processor (faster than the iPhone)
• Display 320×480 or 480×320 when rotated
  
• Both Wi-Fi and GPS
• HSDPA wtih Quadband GSM
• 1GB of on board memory
• 2.0 megapixel camera (maybe even a 3.2MP one coming)

Above is what is believed to be a mock up of the 9000 series and what it might look like. It still isn't known if it will feature a on screen touch keyboard like the iPhone or a sliding QWERTY keyboard. More rumors to come soon. We should see this puppy sometime in the new year.
