It was brought up on the podcast last night, so I thought I'd mention it.  There are a lot of rumors floating around about the BlackBerry 9000 series coming out later this year.  A lot of people seem to think that it'll be a touch-screen iPhone killer, but if RIM wanted a touch-screen device they'd probably have one by now.

 

I'm not much for speculation on the subject, but here's my wish list for the 9000 series -

 

  • Bigger Keys, Please -  Some of the rumors (the ones that still include a keyboard) do show us a BlackBerry with larger keys than the current 8000 series.
  • More Resistance from the Pearl - I'd like it if the pearl (the little scroll-ball that was introduced on the 8100) weren't quite so easy to roll.  Too often when I'm trying to click on something with it I end up clicking on something next to it, below it, above it...
  • Streaming Video - Whether it's YouTube or Hulu, I'd love to be able to pull it up on my BB when I'm not in front of the computer.
  • Easier Memory Card Access - The Curve and Pearl series have the memory card slot externally for easy access and hot swapping (sounds dirty).  The 8800 series (I have an 8830 and Andrew has an 8800) have it under the battery cover.  On the 8830 you can access it with the battery intact, so it's just annoying that I have to semi-dismantle the phone to change memory cards.  If Andrew wants to?  That battery's coming out.
  • Camera - Aside from being fun, cameras can be used for business applications.  For instance, some Samsung phones have a business card scanner.  The camera will actually pick out the contact info and add it to your addressbook.  That'd be super cool on a BlackBerry. 
  • More Screen - I'd like a little more size to the screen even at the expense of a larger overall size for the unit.  If the new BB were thinner it would be very easy to deal with a little extra height and/or width.

 

I think those could all very possibly be features of the next series of BlackBerry.

 

Now, who has an extra $600 that's weighing them down?

Being smaller is no crime, if everybody else around you is taller, it is obvious you would like to to appear taller too.

Being shorter is no sin, if everyone else around you is taller, it is obvious you would want to seem taller also.
