Let’s preface this by saying that we honestly have no idea what’s going on with the hot BlackBerry 9000, but Fortune is reporting that it’s delayed due to either a) AT&T concerns over call quality; b) AT&T concerns over launching a 3G Blackberry and the 3G iPhone at the same time or; c) or something else entirely. That’s news to our homeboy Boy Genius, who thinks Fortune needs to start double-checking its model numbers and code names before it starts rumor-mongering, and points out that he’s been on top of power-management-related 9000 delays for a while now. Testy! We’re a little more inclined to trust BGR on this stuff — the man’s got a point when he says he’s gotten pre-release versions of every RIM device since the Pearl 8100, and if the 9000’s faster processor and 3G are indeed causing power problems, he’s likely to notice. Let’s just hope this all gets sorted soon — we’re ready to move on up.
