I used my Blackbbery for their chatting functionality only, so I’m not kind of interested with their specs as long as I can chat with my friends. Beside that, my BB is actually quite “useless” apart from its chatting function. However, if you are those who care about the performance and look ‘n feel of the Blackberry, then you should check out the following cool Blackberry P9981 with Porsche design!

It was first leaked in Chinese forum as Blackberry Proceeding, however, it’s actually an exclusive design for Porsche. This BlackBerry P9981 is coming with 1.4GHz processor, interesting face design with stainless steel material, leather rear plate treatment, and a never-seen exclusive BBM PIN. No idea what it means with exclusive PIN, but for $2000 a pop, I don’t think I’ll need one.

Recently seen on Chinese website, a Blackberry smartphone with “Proceeding” tagging the phone has been spotted. We are not sure if this smartphone is real or fake, but it seems it’s kind of limited edition of Blackberry 9980 smartphone (as the source indicated).

I like the design of this BlackBerry Proceeding smartphone. The dimension is pretty slim, has unique QWERTY interface, and it has a large screen. It seems there is a front-facing camera as well. Which mean you can use it for video chatting. Sadly, the full specification remains undisclosed for now. Hopefully, this won’t be a fake clone from China that is only worth the look…

RIM, the company behind all Blackberry phones has just announced their own tablet PC called PlayBook. It was first rumored as the blackpad or cobalt, but it turned out to be a wrong assumptions. Blackberry’s latest tablet PC is dubbed as the ‘PlayBook tablet‘, that has the most advanced features and technology to make iPad like a child play.

The OS is not using anything you’ve found on tablet, It’s neither Windows OS nor Android OS. RIM is sporting their own BlackBerry OS for their PlayBook tablet, which has come with the support of full OpenGL and POSIX, together with the HTML5, Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash 10.1 supports!

There is a rumor saying that Blackberry is going to launch their own tablet device coded as BlackPad or Cobalt. But there is no real or true fact supporting this rumor yet. According to the rumor, Blackberry’s Blackpad (or Cobalt) is going to features 8.9-inch touch sensitive display, and it might be thinner and smaller than Apple’s iPad the Magic tablet.

As for the prediction, experts saying that if such a device ever exists and under development, it might take sometimes before it can stretch its neck to the surface. It could be unveiled in 2011, but that’s just a prediction. Blackberry’s Blackpad is rumored to bring the 3G connection, WiFi and a function where it can auto sync with Blackberry smartphone. As usual, rumor shouldn’t be taken as a serious dose of information. We’ll update you again when more information has become available.
