Not even a day has gone by since initial Gemini details emerged and there is already more information about it.

Joey over at BlackBerry News says:

The 9300 is not the Gemini. Apparently bloggers-that-be got the the numbering all wrong. There IS a device 9300 out there, and with 3G, but it is not the Gemini. That code name has been reserved for the BlackBerry 8325.

Yes, the 8325, which is NOT a 3G device. I am hearing it will be the first device with OS 5.0 installed, and it will have WiFi, with EDGE. One rumor is speculating it will be T-Mobile’s device, but I find that unlikely with the 8900 Curve2 out just now. Why would T-Mobile drop another Curve on us so soon? Other  specs.. same 2.0 MP camera, and the screen at 320 x 240.

So which is it? It would be great if some slides were conveniently leaked to the public ;-) .

blackberry9300 BlackBerry Gemini 9300 details emerge

New BlackBerry rumors aren’t over yet!

BGR was able to get some information about the upcoming BlackBerry Gemini 9300, which is basically a Curve 8900 with 3G and some other minor differences.

Check out the details:

  • The screen will be larger than the BlackBerry 8900, and that will also include a higher resolution
  • The CPU will also be beefed up. We’re not sure if this means it will include something more powerful than the Bold’s 624MHz processor or not, but we’d like to think so.
  • The device is said to be silver (think BlackBerry 8830)
  • The keyboard is a little more rounded than the BlackBerry 8900
  • The Send/End keys are rounded instead of being flat on the sides
  • Styling is not drastically different — it keeps with the 8900/Storm styling
  • It of course rocks quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA
  • Wi-Fi and GPS was not confirmed, but we’d say there’s about a 99.99% chance
  • Camera specs were not confirmed as well, but you can bet you’re looking at 3.2 megapixels or better

BG also mentioned a possible release date of Q4 2009 or Q1 2010, but this is just speculation. Anyone else hearing anything about the BlackBerry Gemini 9300?
