We’ve got dates and prices for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 across all major carriers in Canada, and it’s already in the U.S., but we haven’t heard from Vodafone UK since their initial announcement. Luckily, some pricing details have leaked out for those interested in RIM’s latest and greatest. Data plans range from £20 to £40,…
If you’re in Canada and itching at the hip to get your hands on a BlackBerry Torch 9800… The wait is well and truly on. At least this time we have a HARD launch date for ALL of the major Canadian carriers. The last we heard, Bell, Rogers and TELUS are all going live with…
Just a quickie here for the BlackBerry user that may be a bit of a hardcore gamer. If tanks and guns and ‘tesla coils’ are your thing… then you’re going to love this. Guess what? Command & Conquer 4 is now available for the BlackBerry! Woohoo! Released just the other day by our friends at…
An overlooked footnote in Telus’ announcement of the BlackBerry Torch 9800 yesterday is that they’re the first service provider in Canada to support carrier billing in BlackBerry App World (AT&T got it first in the U.S.).

We’ve seen plenty of the BlackBerry 9670, RIM’s next upper-tier OS 6 handset, over the last couple of months, and though the codename Oxford has been whispered here and there, a fresh rumour is indicating the market name will be “Style.” How well-received that name will be is largely a matter of opinion, but let’s…
As expected, Wind Mobile just launched the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 for $300. No contracts, no ETFs, and there’s currently a great half-off deal on data add-ons until September 15 – $10/month for 500 MB is a total steal. The BlackBerry 9100 is basically a miniaturized Bold 9700, including all the fixings, like HVGA display,…
If you drink a lot of Starbucks (like me), and carry a BlackBerry (like me), there’s a new app being tested in the Seattle area that will no doubt be of interest to you (and me). On the heels of their successful iPhone app (launched last September), Starbucks is announcing a new version of the…
Despite getting a break in India yesterday, RIM took a hit from investors. One analyst, James Faucette from Pacific Crest, asserted that AT&T saw no new net additions as a result of the BlackBerry Torch 9800 launch, while research from Sanford Bernstein claimed that 74% out of 200 companies surveyed in the U.K. and U.S.…
