RIM’s latest and greatest BlackBerry 9000 is already all by the World Wide Web and they all confirm that that device will feature a A-GPS receiver chip. A recent review however wasn’t able to analysis that feature:

GPS – Haven’t been able to tryout that 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 that point 3rd party software developers will need to do some tweaking to compose everything run smooth on 4.6.

We’re certain that is nothing that RIM can’t get to fix by the release period 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
