BlackBerry 9000 Video Review Surfaces


Posted by Eric Zeman, May 8, 2008 08:25 PM

The web site CrackBerry, which bought the BlackBerry 9000 for over $800 on eBay, has filmed its own video review of the next-generation hardware from RIM. In this video, CrackBerry performs a walk through of the revamped user interface. Looks fantastic.


Really, the appeal of this device just skyrocketed. There's no word on where the original seller of this BlackBerry 9000 got his or her hands on it, but they scored big time. The CrackBerry web site quickly snapped it up for $828. Their money was well spent.

In this video, CrackBerry gives a full overview of the device, the new user interface, demos the media applications and so on.

All I can say is that, on the surface, it looks like leaps and bounds better than the current BlackBerry software. The graphics are nice, the menus look to be somewhat revised, and there are a few nice touches when it comes to the email application.

The hardware doesn't look half bad, though I am surprised by how big it is. Think BlackBerry 8800 size, not Curve.
