Oh yes, the BlackBerry 9000 is now official courtesy of RIM today, and it seems that the rumors about it being codenamed “Bold” was right all along. RIM even made a website for it - BlackBerryBold.com. Here’s the skinny on this new smartphone’s features.

RIM says the BlackBerry 9000 Bold was “designed for users who place a premium on quality and craftsmanship, without sacrificing the features or functionality you expect from a premium smartphone.” From the looks of it and a quick glance at the spec sheet, the BlackBerry 9000 Bold won’t let you down.

The BlackBerry 9000 Bold boasts a 624 MHz mobile processor, 128 MB Flash RAM plus 1 GB of internal memory. And that should be enough to handle your day to day communication and computing needs. But if it isn’t, rest assured that with its half-VGA (480×320 resolution) color LCD, support for microSD/SDHC memory cards, and 2 megapixel cam with video recording capability, built-in flash and 5x digital zoom (hear that, Apple?), your multimedia needs are also covered.

Other features of the BlackBerry 9000 Bold include these:

• Quad-band EDGE and tri-band HSDPA
• Integrated GPS
• Built-in Wi-Fi a/b/g
• Bluetooth 2.0
• Media player with 11 built-in equalizer pre-sets
• Speaker Independent Voice Recognition (SIVR) for Voice Activated Dialing (VAD)

It should start popping up in stores by summer. You can find more details about it here.
