BlackBerry 9000, rumored to be the best BlackBerry ever and the most likely to take the "king of the BlackBerries" title, seems to be indeed worthy of such a rank. Although the smartphone's launch date is currently unknown, a few of its pre-release versions already exist around the Web.

Since 9000's first appearance we saw only images with it, but now there are also two video presentations with the smartphone, thanks to the guys over at CrackBerry who got the chance to make an in-depth "analyze" of the device. The first good thing about the new BlackBerry 9000 is its sleek design, which makes it the most attractive handset to come from RIM until now. Although it's kind of big in height and width (bigger than the Curve 8320, for example), the 9000 still manages to look elegant, mainly because of its rounded edges.

The 9000 works on the latest BlackBerry 4.6 OS and, apparently, it's faster than any other BlackBerry out there. Moreover, its whole interface seems to have a high level of customization, which is, of course, a good thing.

The new smartphone packs a wide 480 x 320 pixel display capable of showing images and videos at a great quality. Easy access to YouTube, Google Maps, Media player, good-quality speakers, quad-band GMS and tri-band HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi - all these features make the device a really advanced one. Moreover, there's a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording. Thanks to the A-GPS function of 9000, the camera also has the geotagging feature that will allow users to take photos that can display the exact location where they were made.

Until RIM officially announces and launches its new marvel, users can enjoy the two videos with it found below (courtesy of CrackBerry). The 9000 seen here is a pre-release model, bought from eBay, so we should expect its final version to perform even better.
