Earlier some information about the BB 9780 was uncover stating that the device will be OS 6 ready and that is going to be a GSM device. The 9780 is rumored to be a refresher of the 9700 device. Just as soon as we were done digesting the new information Salomondrin the 007 of BB devices released a new image of the unannounced device. The image shows the device running BB 6 and is rumored to be a touch screen but that is not confirmed at this time and it could be just a refresher with more memory. The image also shows the unbranded device with a full black bezel and housing. With the device being a GSM device the likely carrier are AT&T and T-Mobile is the US. So will you hold out out out for this device or buy the soon to be release 9800?
Some specs include
- 512MB of Ram
- OS 6
- 480*360 Screen
- GSM
- 802.11 WIFI

For someone, who purchased the 9700, for full price, in November this is a bit of a kick in the b@lls… Why is RIMs R&D Dept so short-sighted?
makes you wonder IF the 9800, which I have been waiting for, is really worth purchasing or holding out for the “9800 Refresh”; which will probably be released a few months later with 1GB RAM and an even better camera…

Wow! They added 256 mgb of RAM and 6.0! We need new devices! Not a refresh of an already awesome device!
Are they going to add one more feature each year like the IFun? Ugh! I guess I can only look forward to Blackberry Protect and Desktop Manager 6.

YAwn…….
For a brief one year… Consumers were eating up blackberries… now they are ditching them left and right for this garbage.
RIM should blame itself for creating a simple using OS, that trained an average person how to use a smartphone.. so they could use that knowledge to springboard to Android and or Windows Phone 7.
I have purchased 8 blackberries over the years… not to mention the ones my wife has had… I won’t be purchasing another one.
The question is how long will it be before RIM turns into Palm? Instead of HP, will it be Microsoft as the buyer?

That is what I am waiting for. My next bb I plan to buy will be one from MS, when they do buy out RIM because of financial trouble. I mean tha writing on the wall can not be any clearer.
