Theres really no known info on a 9000 refresh coming anytime soon. There was a video of the "magnum", but I heard RIM scratched the idea. It would be nice if verizon could get something like the original Bold.
It would be nice. I have a 9700 at the moment and don't plan on getting a new Blackberry device unless RIM does a serious overhaul. A 9000 form factor, perhaps a bit thinner with an amazing display, camera, processor, dedicated GPU and maybe a touch screen. Also, the ability to store apps on onboard memory rather than RAM would be wonderful.
But it's RIM, their flagship device has almost identical specs to what it did a year ago. Oh well.
Personally, I wanna see a berry with the form factor of the 9000 with a higher res screen, optical trackpad, better battery, 1GHZ processor, 5mp camera and OS 6. No touchscreen needed for me. There's my perfect Blackberry
