The new BlackBerry Pearl 3G made it through the FCC a few weeks ago, seemingly on the way to AT&T, and now the FCC has approved versions of both the 9100 and its numeric keypad little brother, the 9105, with AWS bands. That means carriers like T-Mobile, Wind and Mobilicity could offer the BlackBerry Pearl…
WordPress for BlackBerry Updated to Version 1.2
If you use the WordPress app for BlackBerry, take note. The app has been updated to version 1.2, and many new features have been built-in that are worth noting. I’ll list the changelog for you below, but so far, perhaps the biggest improvement I’ve noticed is overall performance. It’s easier to login and the app…
Verizon Training Staffers on BlackBerry Bold 9650 – Launch Imminent
When it comes to the CDMA’d to-the-max BlackBerry Bold 9650, we’ve heard very little when it comes to Verizon. Sure, we’ve reported that Sprint launched it at $199 on 2-year contract, told you about a leaked OS for it, heck, we’ve even got our hands on one. But when it comes to Verizon’s variant of…
OS 5.0.0.680 Now Available for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 via Hutchinson

BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Caught on Video, Confirms Accelerometer, AT&T, and No SurePress
A few weeks ago, we caught a quick clip of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider, but, as if it was only to whet our palettes, a full three minutes of footage have bubbled up for our viewing pleasure. It runs down a lot of the features that we’ve already seen in OS 6.0, and as…
BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Pictured with Virtual Keyboard
We’ve got some more pictures of the upcoming BlackBerry slider to add to the pile, notably showing off the on-screen keyboard. It was hard to tell at first if the BlackBerry 9800 was going to include a touchscreen in addition to the trackpad and physical keyboard, but this picture confirms it. A few of the…
Mobile Roundup: Google I/O Edition
It’s been quite the week for Google and their mobile operating system. The develope conference is finally over, and there’s been a lot going on in the world of Android.

New BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider Pictures Showing Webkit Browser
A few new pictures of the unreleased BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider have surfaced, showing off the new webkit browser, though there’s not much to see other than the Acid3 test scoring 100% as demonstrated at MWC. The new browser is going to be a pretty big deal for RIM, and has been wholly facilitated by…
Pixelated and Pixelated Plus Updated with Pearl 9100 and 9105 Support
You may have read my babbling about the BlackBerry game ‘Pixelated‘ before. It’s a good puzzler. The object of the game is to change the color of the squares until the entire board is the same color, in as few moves as possible. Sounds simple, but it is often times quite a challenge. At any…
