In what seems to be the next generation of phones, BlackBerry has decided to join the touch screen madness. BoyGeinus has uncovered the BlackBerry 9000, their newest smartphone entry with touch screen. The new BlackBerry will have Wi-Fi, 1GB of on-board memory, an Intel XScale PXA270 processor at 624MHz, which clocks in a little faster than the iphones 620MHz ARM 1173 processor. But this baby comes with two things that the iphone doesn't, GPS and 3G. The screen is 420×380 and there is a possibility of a 3.2 megapixel camera. No telling what's going to happen to our favorite full keyboard that BlackBerry is known for, but you have to give a little to get this kind of hotness in a phone.
With this having sync ability and business applications, this could seriously be the iphone killer that people have talked about.
Of course there's no word on pricing or availability but speculation is Q-1 or Q-2 of 2008

This looks good! WiFi is a must on my next phone. I could care less 'bout G3 if it has WiFi. And the current high-end BlackBerries don't have cameras, so hopefully this thing will sport one. I'm in next October if Verizon carries it.
