Thumbs up BB 9000 hard specs announced

Over at the Boy Genius Report they have a new post up showing off the hard specs of the new BB 9000 series. The list is pretty impressive even though the camera is on ly 2MP. Still no release date. BGR does say "AT&T having a U.S. exclusive and being the first carrier to launch worldwide". AT&T will have it first worldwide and US exclusive. Thats pretty sweet.

* Radio - GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA
* Bands - Quad-band GPRS/EDGE: 800/850/1800/1900MHz
* HSDPA: 850/1900/2100MHz (praise the lord!)
* Expandable memory - microSD
* Display - HVGA Color LCD (480×320)
* TrackBall Navigation
* Camera - 2MP (Boo!)
* Wi-Fi - a,b,g
* A-GPS
* Battery - 1500mAh
* High quality material, high-end finish
* Software - 4.6

BlackBerry 9000 hard specs, you excited? | The Boy Genius Report

Key item missing MEMORY!!!

These specs are boring as it is anyway. The new resolution... is that a bigger screen (wider handheld) or just larger resolution for better/tighter graphics on the same size screen? I have a feeling it's just a tighter resolution.

True the memory is missing, and the specs are hardly boring. Have we hard what the specs are on the Jesus phone, NO WE HAVE NOT. Why not I ask, because jobs is so up tight about it, it hasn't even passed yet.

Tell me what on those specs is not boring. All I see is Screen and 3G (new). Being with VZW I can't get excited about 3G because I'm already on it. I tell you what, that screen better be 16M colors. Now that would be an improvement over the current limited 65k stuff. Flesh tones are not correct on pron on the current screens. J/K

Yes, pretty boring news, but glad you can share it with us though.

I've known all these specs for awhile now though.

I do indeed want to just hold the device...

Did anyone d/l or .pdf the pages from BGR before they disappeared. I forgot to get them for my archives and now they are gone. Hmmm.

Maybe the 2MP in the 9XXX will be better than the current curve's 2MP.

Stability is key... how many 2MP cams are actually good?

Why isn't the reviewer posting the device memory? Pretty key feature, considering theres no way to expand memory on blackberries (media card memory is just about worthless).
