BlackBerry 9000: Better browsing, new theme, WiFi, HSDPA, and more

Boy Genius Report got their mitts on an official internal spec sheet for the upcoming BlackBerry 9000 from RIM, and it looks like the newest BlackBerry might just fix some of the things that still get me about the current crop of Curves and Pearls.  In particular, the spec sheet shows a richer Web browsing experience that includes support for AJAX and inline video streaming and a sexy new theme for the OS as a whole.

Perhaps more importantly, the 9000 looks like it's going to pack WiFi and HSDPA connectivity for high-speed browsing and emailing.  There's also a new media player and a bunch of other "incremental feature" upgrades to what's being dubbed BlackBerry Device Software v4.6.

BGR's pointing to July as the current release date for the BB 9000.  But don't just take my word for it — browse on over to BGR's gallery of the leaked spec sheet and get the full scoop on the next-gen handheld from everybody's favorite mobile email pusher.
