C’MON DOWN! Bplay has just launched ‘The Price is Right’ for BlackBerry. I’ve had this game on my iPhone for some time now, and while it was an expensive purchase, I do find myself popping it open from time to time. The Price is Right for BlackBerry features a ton of mini-games, including ‘Plinko’, ‘Cliff…
Fido BlackBerry Curve 8520 Now On Sale at FutureShop for $29.99
Gotta love promotions on new hardware. It was only a few weeks ago that Fido launched the BlackBerry Curve 8520 for $50 on a 3-year contract. Not bad for a device that packs the typical BlackBerry full-QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera, microSD expansion to 16GB, 3.2″ display, WiFi and more… Still, I kind of wondered how…
Rumored: Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530 in Red
I think Sprint may have missed the Valentine’s Day boat on this one. Still, if the standard black and silver facade of today’s typical BlackBerry ain’t your thing, Sprint could indeed be well-served by bringing a new splash of color. Rumor has it that Sprint may have a BlackBerry Curve 8530 in the works, in…
Tawkon measures iPhone radiation, won’t be approved by Apple
I think it’s a crying shame that Tawkon’s iPhone application won’t be allowed in the App Store because it seems like a well-crafted program that could find a large audience. I’m not too concerned about my cell phone’s radiation but I know a lot of people are. According to Tawkon’s technology page, the app uses an…
Mobile patent lawsuits explode
Apple’s not the only one getting sue-happy over patents, as this brilliant infographic from The New York Times shows that pretty much every major player is involved in a patent lawsuit. Google says the smartphone will overtake the desktop within the next three years, so many companies are trying to carve out their space. Patents…
BlackBerry 9100 Pearl (Striker) to Have Full QWERTY Keyboard?
OEM parts reseller TrueSupplier is listing the keypad for the unreleased BlackBerry 9100 Pearl, showing this picture of a QWERTY layout – but wait, isn’t the Striker supposed to be SureType (two letters crammed into one key)? Colour me confused, but this doesn’t look anything like what we were expecting to land on TELUS. It’s…
BlackBerry 9100 Pearl (Striker) Coming to TELUS in Pink and Black?
According to tipsters, the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 (code-named Striker) will be coming to Canada’s TELUS in both black and pink paint jobs. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the flurry of prerelease sneak peeks, the new Pearl promises Wi-Fi, 3G (AWS bands included, odds are it’ll run on TELUS’ new HSPA+ network),…
AT&T’s myWireless for BlackBerry Allows Mobile Payments and Usage Monitoring
AT&T’s myWireless App has found its way to a variety of BlackBerry models, allowing you to pay your wireless bill, check plan options, and monitor voice and data usage by mobile. A similar app is already available for the iPhone, so it’s not entirely unreasonable to expect it to land on other smartphone platforms, like,…
New BlackBerry Slider Pics Emerge
If you’ve been tuning in for the last little while, you’ll know that details and specs of a new BlackBerry slider device have been floating around like mad. It seems to be the ‘hot’ topic in the BlackBerry world as of late, and with good reason. A new BlackBerry slider brings to the table a…
Limited Edition Team Canada BlackBerry Bold 9700 is a Thing of Beauty
OK. Not only do I want those Vancouver 2010 iPhone App Inspired Pins, I want one of these too. Someone please hook me up. In what appears to be a shot of some internal communications, FutureShop has put together an awesome little promotion for their sales personnel… and it features a very custom, and very…
