Following Rogers’ announcement, Bell has announced that they’ll be offering the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 on Thursday. That falls nicely in line with what we had heard a few weeks ago. The BlackBerry 9300 differs slightly from the the existing 8530 on Bell by offering 3G with better world-roaming, and including OS 6 compatibility. All…
Remember the Bell LG Rumour Plus? You know, the next-gen in the ‘Rumour’ line, with full QWERTY keyboard, 2.4″ display (240 x 320), 2 megapixel camera and more. That one. The last I heard, it was due out on the 11th of August. With the projected launch date right in front of us, and no…
Hey Manitoba, I’ve got some more mobile news for you, thanks to your local carrier, MTS. You may recall the other day that MTS went live with the HTC 6250, thus adding the first Android-powered device to their lineup.

After a variety of appearances among carriers, the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 has been announced by RIM, complete with compatibility with their new operating system (though it’s launching with the same ol’ OS 5).

The company unveiled its first slider with the BlackBerry Torch but RIM is also facing some potential bans in lucrative markets. The Apple iPhone 4 has been jailbroken with a simple website and Android is growing strong as Froyo…
In another sign that the launch of the Motorola Droid 2 isn’t too far away, official accessories have started to show up at Verizon stores. The original Droid was the first major Android handset to hit Verizon and it has been a smash hit. I know when I mill about in San Francisco, the Motorola…
Shortly before Rogers’ announcement of the Captivate, Bell yesterday announced the Galaxy S Vibrant would be arriving tomorrow for $149.99 on a three-year contract ($499.95 without). To get things kicked off right proper, Bell is giving away phones, tickets to Lady Gaga, and a 55″ Samsung TV. Not too bad at all! The Samsung Vibrant’s…
Rogers has announced that they’ll be launching the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate “in the coming weeks”. They don’t mention dates or prices, of course, but we can likely expect it before the school year kicks in again. Just as a quick refresher, the Galaxy S Captivate has a 4″ Super AMOLED display, 1 GHz Hummingbird…
Looks like my good bud Kevin over at CrackBerry is going a little nuts with the BlackBerry Torch 9800 these days… and with good reason. The Torch is ushering in a new era of BlackBerry goodness. A new OS is on-board (BlackBerry OS 6), and a new slider form-factor is front-and-center… The vertical slider (or…
