The blackberry 9000 series is still in the making. And as it is being engineered the specifications of the device have not been confirmed. At this point though the screen resolution will likely be 480 x 320 or maybe even vice versa (320 x 480). Built in memory will total over 1gb and will be powered by an Intel XScale PXA270 Processor at 624MHz. Which makes it only a hair faster in clock speed then the 620MHz ARM 1173 processor found in the iPhone.

The blackberry 9000 can handle all the major wireless standards. Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, all built in. It will also add 3G support to the GSM Carrier family devices. The camera seems to be 2 megapixel, however there maybe 3.2megapixel camera at launch. There’s no word from Research in Motion whether this device will keep the standard querty keyboard or move the keyboard over to a touchscreen.

Research in Motion expects to file its second- and third-quarters and any restatements prior to its fiscal year end on March 3.

The Canadian maker of the Blackberry wireless device, which is conducting an ongoing review of its stock option grants, said it will report preliminary operating results for the third quarter on Dec. 21 and doesn’t expect any material change from the potential restatement.

In after-hours trading, shares of Research in Motion changed hands recently at $128.20, up from Friday’s close of $127.69.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has begun an informal look into the way Research In Motion, the makers of the blackberry, grant stock options. RIM will cooperate providing documents and other information to the SEC. NASDAQ:RIMM fell -1.84 (-1.56%) to 116.44 today.
