We had heard that the BlackBerry Onyx 9020, the angular successor to the Bold, would be switching to the touch-sensitive trackpad that we’ve seen on the Gemini 8520. Well, here’s some hard and fast live proof, putting the two devices side by side – so long, trackball! Will anyone miss it? I remember back when…
Sprint Readying BlackBerry Tour, ‘Inferno’ Curve 8330 and Red Curve 8350i
Looks like Sprint is getting ready to launch a couple of other Berry devices, in addition to the much anticipated BlackBerry Tour. A tipster sent in the above image to my buds over at CrackBerry, and… as you can clearly see, 2 new versions of the Curve series are included. The ‘Inferno’ BlackBerry Curve 8330…
Apple iPhone demand on the up and up!
RIM may still be the market leader when it comes to smartphones, but Waterloo had better watch its back. The iPhone, she’s catching up! The latest survey results from ChangeWave seem to suggest that short-term demand for the iPhone is far outpacing RIM’s BlackBerry offerings – that bodes well for Apple significantly increasing their smartphone…

Cockpit BlackBerry Theme from idberry
Time for a quick BlackBerry Theme break. This morning I stumbled upon the new ‘Cockpit’ theme from idberry. The design allows you to navigate on your Berry using a steering wheel on the screen. It’s kind of like you’re ‘driving’ your Berry to where you want it to go 😛 Depending on the direction you…
Commercial Break: BlackBerry Loves U2
Ah, here she is… I knew it was only a matter of time until I stumbled across the ‘BlackBerry Loves U2‘ ad that was played at the movie I went to see this past weekend. I kind of liked it… song was catchy, and honestly, it reminded me somewhat of the Apple/Coldplay ads that hit…
White T-Mobile BlackBerry 8520 Appears Yet Again
To corroborate the story from earlier today, my bud David over at TMoNews shot me this interesting picture (above) via one of T-Mobile’s internal systems. Take it for what it’s worth, but it sure looks like that BlackBerry 8520 is in some sort of white, titanium or white/blue shade. If T-Mo already has the 8520…
T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520 (Gemini) Coming Down the Pipe in Black… AND White!?
Here’s a quick one via my bud Kevin over at CrackBerry. Seems as though he’s received multiple tips that the T-Mobile version of the BlackBerry Curve 8520 may be coming down in white (or silver, or ‘blue mist’, or whatever you call it… you get the idea… mostly white colored!). Any way you slice it,…
European BlackBerry App World Confirmed for this Month
RIM VP Jeff McDowell (hey, we know that guy) has confirmed in a recent interview that France, Germany, Italy, and Spain will indeed be getting the BlackBerry App World this month as previously speculated, while Brazil and India are next on the list. He also unabashedly tallied the number of apps at 2,000, up from…
Official WordPress BlackBerry App Open for Beta
As expected, WordPress has just announced the availability of their new blog editing app for BlackBerry, much to my personal glee. Page creation, comment moderation and, of course, blog posting are all supported, as well as picture uploading right from the device’s camera. While I would be loathe to share pictures from the Bold’s camera…
