I ducked into a Telus store late last week to play around with the recently-launched BlackBerry Curve 9360, and was pleasantly surprised by how slim and tiny the thing was. In the press shots, it looked a little blocky, and vaguely reminiscent of the old 8800 in its proportions, but holding one in person is…
Last week, Bell launched the BlackBerry Curve 9360 shortly behind Telus, and raised them a Torch 9860. Since the two carriers share an HSPA network, it’s no surprise that their device launches are close together, or that they’re matching pricetags at $49.99 on a three-year contract. The BlackBerry Curve 9360 is RIM’s new entry-level offering,…
Some blurry shots out of China are showing what is supposedly the first BlackBerry smartphone to run QNX, which is the operating system currently sitting on their PlayBook tablet.

On top of announcing some oven-fresh Gingerbread for their older Xperia phones, Sony Ericsson announced a new Android handset today, the neo V. The original neo didn’t look so hot next to the Xperia Arc, and this one doesn’t either since so many of the specs are the same: 3.7-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen, 2…
The unrivaled ruler of casual games, Peggle, has made its way to the iPad. The iPhone version launched over two years ago, and the transition to the bigger screen will no doubt see just as much success. Peggle HD has full support for Game Center with 29 achievements, and the Peggle Nights expansion will be…
RIM’s rumoured BlackBerry music service was launched in open beta today, and a lot of the details are as speculated. For $4.99/month, you get to pick 50 songs to attach to your profile, which are then easily shared and tracked with your friends. You can add songs to your playlist from friends as they show up…
While we’re getting closer to a proper iPhone 5 launch, and rough specs are starting to coalesce, there’s still very little that’s firm. Enter the design firm Aatma Studio, which has cooked up this sweet little concept video of how some pretty far-out features might look on the next iPhone. Okay, maybe the iPhone after…
Earlier this summer, Motorola announced the Fire, an entry-level variant of the Xpert and Droid Pro. Today, the recent inductee to the Google family mentioned that the phone’s coming to the UK in late September – just in time for the university school year to start. The Motorola Fire runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, has a…
