BlackBerry 9000 does GPS
May 12, 2008 gps navigation
RIM’s latest and greatest BlackBerry 9000 is already all over the internet and they all confirm that this device will feature a A-GPS receiver chip. A recent review however wasn’t able to test this feature:
GPS – Haven’t been able to test this out yet, as it seems BlackBerry maps didn’t come preloaded and Google Maps didn’t work (it installed ok, but got a “folder” as a shortcut on the home screen and when I clicked it I got an Exception error). It seems at this point 3rd party software developers will need to do some tweaking to make everything run smooth on 4.6.
We’re sure this is nothing that RIM can’t get to fix by the release date though. Here are the rest of the specs:
- Radio – GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA
- Bands – Quad-band GPRS/EDGE: 800/850/1800/1900MHz
- HSDPA: 850/1900/2100MHz
- Display – HVGA Color LCD (480×320)
- 2MP camera
- Wi-Fi – a,b,g
- A-GPS
- Processor – Intel XScale PXA270 @ 624MHz
- Externally Accessible expandable memory – microSD
- Battery – 1500mAh
- Weight – ~140grams or 5 oz
- Operating System Software – version 4.6.0.22
