Anyone know what might happen after they pass the Blackberry --- 9xxx? It would seem odd to be saying hey man check out my new Blackberry 10515, very futuristic, but odd. Anyone got any ideas, or real news?

[paulwright1]

im sure they will stick with the 9xxx numbering system and the 89xx system for a while.

[SofaKingKev]

you know, i was just pondering that yesterday.. i was thinking that they could just go into names(read:storm, storm2, storm3), or maybe work their way back from 7000.. who knows.

Whatever they make it'll be the same kinds of phones anyway

[hootyhoo]

After 2012 it won't matter.

Maybe they'll switch to letters, like the A630 or something (e.g., treat the first number as a hex number).

Sounds very Motorola-ish

[kplaya186]

That is an interesting question. The may throw letters into the game as kjs1977 stated.

You know the whole Mayan calendar/end of the world thing?

Ya, that's pretty much what we're in for.

They won't go to 10,000, as that's too long.

They won't go to numbers and letters, as everyone else does that already.

They will be like prince, and use symbols:

The BlackBerry #.
The device formerly known as &
The bb @.
The �.

How about Egyptian Gods/Goddesses/pharaohs? Blackberry Tutankhamun, Blackberry Ramasses, Blackberry Isis (Goddess of Protection), Blackberry Anubis (Lol, god of embalming the dead), Blackberry Ra (Sun God)

They'll never run out

Roman numerals?

Blackberry Curve IV

Blackberry Curve IV

They're almost there with Storm2, or should that be StormII

[xraytid]

then RIM will have to get creative and drop model numbers and just use names like everyone else lmfao but 9xxx series should be the last string of models.

[AngryChineseDriver]

I can't wait for the BlackBerry 13900 to come out!! Not only will it run OS 16.700, but it will sport a trackballpad!!

[AngryChineseDriver]

Or even worse (better?), the BlackBerry Bold 9700.50 Ed. 2.0 Variant AAA

Thousands of combinations before RIM gets to Bold 9999.99 Ed. 99.99 Variant ZZZ (pronounced zed-zed-zed).
