OtterBox has been the number one name in making mobiles ready for the rugged lifestyle, and their latest product is bringing the same service to the BlackBerry Bold. Since the BlackBerry Pearl, OtterBox has been changing their overall design strategy; they’ve moved away from fully-encapsulated, waterproof, cases that could stop a bullet in a pinch,…
AT&T Ninja Drops Holiday Lineup
If AT&T happens to be your carrier of choice, BGR has managed to get their hands on a holiday device release list (from their internal ‘ninja’ of course :P). I’ve bolded one device in particular (no pun intended). Pantech Matrix: $80 after MIR Samsung Propel: $80 after MIR AT&T Quickfire: $100 after MIR Samsung Eternity:…
Building the BlackBerry Bold
Ever wonder how much it costs to put together the BlackBerry Bold or any other BlackBerry device for that matter? Research firm iSuppli has done some nifty research into just that, and the numbers are quite interesting. The report shows that it costs RIM $169.41 to build each BlackBerry Bold device. Check that against the…
New Contest Offers Up 10 BlackBerry Storms!
CrackBerry Kevin over at, um, CrackBerry (duh!) has announced a new contest… and it looks pretty good. It’s called the ‘What Would You Do For a BlackBerry Storm? Contest. The premise is simple. He wants to find out what YOU would do to get your hands on a new BlackBerry Storm. Think of anything… but…
AT&T BlackBerry Bold coming with free mobile video?
I guess it’s only fair that American customers get some kind of consolation prize for waiting so long for the BlackBerry Bold, and unlimited, free cellular video on a qualifying plan is a good start. The BlackBerry 9000 has one hell of a screen, and with both 3G and Wi-Fi in there, it could be…
BlackBerry Storm due on Rogers before Christmas?
We had heard briefly that the BlackBerry Storm would be coming to Rogers back in August, but we’ve got further confirmation that all three of Canada’s carriers will be getting the touchscreen BlackBerry before the end of the year. Bell and Telus have been pretty open about supporting the BlackBerry 9530, but we haven’t heard…

As you can see in the graphic…
BlackBerry Storm on preorder from Vodafone Australia
We already know that Vodafone was bringing the BlackBerry Storm to Germany and the UK, but now we have confirmation that it will be making the rounds outside of Europe as well. Vodafone Australia now has a notification site set up so folks down under can know just when the touchscreen BlackBerry will lap up…
Verizon BlackBerry Storm events place launch at late November?
No solid date for the BlackBerry Storm release has been set, but an RSVP site for Verizon-hosted events could be placing the launch around late November. Last we had heard, early November was more likely, but if Verizon is getting pushed back, you gotta wonder if Vodafone is as well. This is cutting it awfully…
BlackBerry Storm advertising in full swing
Last week some modest teasers and the odd ad spot were sighted, but it looks like RIM is pushing their touchscreen-packing BlackBerry Storm in full force now. The lengthy Vodafone UK video above demonstrates all the main features of the BlackBerry 9500 and gives us a pretty good feel for how the new OS will…
