RIM officials have gone on the record to say that they’re totally satisfied with the battery life of the upcoming BlackBerry 9000. There were earlier reports from testers that you couldn’t get more than two hours of web browsing over Wi-Fi with it, but a RIM spokesperson explains that ” ‘power management protocols’ (the software that helps control what parts of the BlackBerry get powered) are typically disabled on prototype devices in order to simplify the software debugging process”. The latest rumors are suggesting an August release for the new device.

if you read the article… they say this device is the 8900 and the 9000 will be a 3g touchscreen.
Yeah, I can say with some certainty that there’s no 8900 in the works. Touchscreen is a possibility, but nothing confirmed.
Touch screen MY ARSE.
