I’m not sure whether to chalk this up to a false alarm, or if this is the real deal… but the TELUS BlackBerry Curve 3G (aka the BlackBerry 9300, aka ‘Kepler‘) has shown up on the TELUS website for all to see. The funny thing is, TELUS appears to be listing the device as the…
Apple is apparently done with all the iPhone 4 antenna mud-slinging that’s been going on between itself and smartphone competitors like Motorola and RIM. Today, the iPhone maker has removed all the videos it had previously posted on its “Antenna” page, which showed devices like the Motorola Droid X and Nokia N97 Mini exhibiting a…
Are you all a-twitter for the BlackBerry Curve 3G for some reason? We heard it’s coming to Bell August 12, and now we know it’ll be available for $49.95 on a 3-year contract, or $349.99 off contract.

Well looky here. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any official BlackBerry OS releases, but I’ve got one for you right now. Looks as though Hutchinson has officially released OS 5.0.0.822 for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and Bold 9000. Both builds are very official, so they should run just fine and dandy if you have…
After getting an early look at the new BlackBerry App World 2.0 on-device app store, RIM has kicked off a private beta for a few more people. The main additions will be carrier and credit card billing, a new BlackBerry ID system that should automatically keep track of your downloaded app (as well as BlackBerry…
The BlackBerry 9780 is getting even more screen time today, this go-around it’s on video with the new Webkit browser in OS 6. The browser, complete with support for tabs, runs just fine. It’s cool to see that everything navigates just fine on a non-touch interface, seeing as how most of the OS 6 videos…
