RIM Goes On A Codename Spree

blackberry-aurora-bgr.jpg

To say that RIM has been busy is an understatement. We've already heard of the Bold and the Thunder, but things are not going to end there. Intuitive digging reveals that more BlackBerry devices are possibly on the way and they will continue to have quirky names.

…sure enough, metadata obtained by Boy Genius Report lists GPS support in the 9110 "Seawolf." There's also mention of an "Aurora," indicated to be a member of the 8100 (Pearl) series, though its device ID curiously matches that of the Thunder / Storm so it's possible that the two projects were merged at some point.

Again, these are all possibilities at this point, so nothing's definite until RIM says so. Still, at least we can appreciate the fact that we can call these devices by their names instead of having to refer to them by using combinations of four alpha-numeric characters.
