As expected, the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 and Curve 3G 9300 have landed on AT&T. T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint have all had the Curve 9300 out for a little while now, but AT&T is the first in the U.S. to introduce the Pearl 9100. Together, the two flank upper and lower tiers; the Curve 9300…
I just got word from Telus following Sprint’s announcement that they will, indeed carry the BlackBerry Style 9670, but had nothing to say about timing or price (though it’s likely to be similar to Sprint’s October 31 / $99 on contract). We had heard rumours that along with Bell, Telus would be offering the second…
RIM and Sprint have just made an official announcement for the BlackBerry Style 9670 clamshell, and those rumours we had heard about an October 31 launch date and $99.99 price point on a two-year contract were dead on. We’ve been hearing about this phone for the last six months, so there really aren’t too many…
On top of UMA rollouts for the Curve 9300 and the Bold 9700, Rogers will be offering the service to the BlackBerry Pearl 3g 9100 as well. According to this leaked document, text messages were starting to be sent out yesterday notifying users that an OS update was available. After download, subscribers just need to…
As expected, BlackBerry Internet Service 3.2 has been rolled out in North America, complete with Google Calendar Sync. Now you can finally ditch that Google Sync app and let the native BIS architecture keep your web-based and on-device contacts and appointments on the same page. The last BIS update allowed Contact sync with Yahoo! and…
The Rhapsody mobile app that has already laid root in iPhone and Android is now getting cozy with BlackBerry. It’s been in a closed beta for a little while now, but has since opened up, and anyone with a BlackBerry (touch or traditional) can get downloading. The Rhapsody music service is pretty standard; for $10/month…
Not that we didn’t know the BlackBerry 9670 Style was coming to Sprint or anything, but some promotional materials have landed at retail locations, indicating a launch in the near future. The biggest thing this flyer confirms is the market name: Style. Though there was some contention about the BlackBerry 9670 launching as the Oxford,…
Verizon is rolling out software updates to owners of the BlackBerry Tour 9630, Bold 9650, and Curve 8530 tonight at around 6 PM EST. Before you get your hopes up, no, this isn’t OS 6, but rather some incremental stuff on top of OS 5. Both Verizon’s Tour and Bold will get some push-to-talk performance…
Some previously rumoured pricing of the Vodafone UK BlackBerry Bold 9780 refresh has been backed up by two screenshots from internal inventory: it’ll be free with a £35 monthly plan over 24 months, or £45 over 18 months, and be available in classic black or white. If you’d rather opt for the no-contract route, the…
RIM has just launched a new branded Bluetooth headset called the HS-300. It’s much tinier and cheaper than the HS-700 that launched a few months ago. Beyond portability, it features voice prompts for battery levels, automatic volume changing, and an impressive 15-minute charge time for two hours of talk. On a full charge, the headset…
