Web site Crackberry.com continues dissecting the pre-release/beta Blackberry 9000 they scored from an eBay auction earlier this week. This device has been deemed “drool worthy” for it’s 3G connection, improved 480 x 320 HVDA color LCD and advance peek at the new operating system (OS version 4.6.0.22 (67) is on their early release device). They have a short video that demonstrates the browser playing Youtube video, other than that the web browser seems largely unchanged. It’s unclear whether this is the final version web browser. From what I’ve read nearly all the improvements to the Blackberry 9000 have been cosmetic or LCD screen improvements. Not a glimpse of any HTML email capabilities, and comments from the reviewer about this being an “evolutionary OS” and “mainly visual” OS improvements - lead me to wonder if this Blackberry 9000 might be considered “lipstick on a pig” by users hoping for more?
