Not one to let Telus and Bell hog all the fun with new devices for the holidays, rumour has it the new BlackBerry Curve is coming to Rogers soon for $179.99 on a three-year plan, $499.99 on two, and $549.99 for no contract. There were rumours a few days ago confirming the BlackBerry 8900 would…
Telus BlackBerry Storm Priced at $299.99 on Contract
Yesterday Future Shop gave us a $649.99 pricetag for Telus’ upcoming BlackBerry Storm without a contract, but hey, who’s going to shell out that much for something that’s not even a safe bet? The contract price of $299.99 here shown in a Best Buy Mobile Canada ad is much more amenable although still a bit…
Bell BlackBerry Storm Coming Soon
A mailout just went to those savvy enough to sign on for updates telling us that “the world’s first touch screen BlackBerry smartphone is almost here.” Well, I guess that depends where ‘here’ is, but if your ‘here’ happens to be Canada, then it’s good reason to get excited. Telus preorders just started, and rumours…

Obama Hopes for BlackBerry
U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama had a lengthy interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters earlier this week, touching on all the important political issues, like the economy and foreign policy, as well as adapting to the presidential life with his wife and kids.

RIM’s BlackBerry Storm and NY Times’ Pogue don’t mix
RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry is proving to be one heck of a media-darling, the likes of which the iPhone would be proud. Some shower the BlackBerry Storm with praise, while others belittle the BlackBerry’s SurePress click-able touchscreen. Needless to say, it’s been a stormy ride (excuse the pun) for the Storm. The latest pundit to…
BlackBerry 8220 Pearl Flip Available for Free at Best Buy?
Mr. Blurrycam has reared his ugly head yet again, but this time he’s bringing us good news (actually, he usually does). In a new Best Buy flyer, looks to be that the BlackBerry 8220 Pearl Flip is available for free. As per usual, the picture is ultra-blurry, but after some research I’ve found out that…
BlackBerry 8900, Pink Bold coming to Rogers?
So long as we’re talking pink today, rumour has it Rogers will be releasing a pink BlackBerry Bold alongside the new BlackBerry 8900 Curve in January ’09. The Bold hasn’t seen anything in the way of new paint jobs yet, despite a couple of coloured battery doors being in the works, but I think the…
BlackBerry 8350i Tidbits Leak
A few key points have surfaced about the upcoming iDEN BlackBerry due to land on Sprint-Nextel on December 1st. For starters, it’ll only have a 2.5mm headphone jack, rather than the standard 3.5mm that all BlackBerry Curve models have enjoyed up to this point. Second, this one is a bit bulkier than previous 8300-series devices,…
