Man, I need to start reading the blogs. If I had of known, I would have attempted to buy one as well.

Kevin as usual is the big man on campus. It couldn't have fell into any better hands.

Reading that BLOG has me excited about the 9000.

I listened to the podcast today after reading the blogpost this morning about Kevin and his classified bb. I was lmao as I heard him say something along the lines of it looks like someone bought one before they were removed. Very slick, Kevin.

I knew it was real... Bush!!! If he would have delivered my $$$ faster, I would have purchased it.

I have a couple of questions...

CJ got the first one covered with HTML emails and browser...

others are...

* Can 3rd party apps be installed to the memory card?
* How much memory?
* Memory leaks still present?
* If you install Opera on it, how is the 3g on it compared to the BB browser?


I have more, but I forget as I am sooooo jealous right now. GG Dubya Bush!

I'm sure it does help boost the products. I'm excited about it too. But what about competitors? Apple, Motorola, and Palm (heh) now know what's in store for the Blackberry line. If you were developing a competing product, wouldn't a tip off like this be sweet?

and for those that argue that this purchase of the 9000; and the public posting of the result(s) of the purchase will 'hurt' RIM in anyway...i'm not so sure about that. I'm sure CrackBerry as a site; all the information contained in it and what not...actually helps boost and promote RIM and its products.

Big time score Kevin - congrats.

Any sign of BT for video? Didn't look like BT was on for your demo video.
