BlackBerry 9000 getting announced next week?

Now that the BlackBerry 9000's been outed and reviewed, we guess there's little left for RIM to do but just get official with the darned thing. Looks like that might actually happen as soon as next week, with Boy Genius Report claiming that it'll happen on Monday, May 12, the first day of the Wireless Enterprise Symposium, going down in sunny Orlando. 'Course, there's a pretty significant difference between announcing a product and actually getting it into would-be buyers' hands, so we're going to keep our party favors and noisemakers firmly stowed until some carriers start to step up to the plate.

FWIW I'm not the least bit excited about this phone at all. I've never been excited about any Blackberry device ever. I think it's that rollerball I despise so much... Not accurate enough.

If it's announced Monday, then we should see the EV-DO version on Verizon...a year from Monday?

Any word on who's getting the phone at launch? AT&T?
