Today’s a good day for BlackBerry PlayBook owners hungry for high-quality apps. EA has launched Dead Space, a popular sci-fi/horror first person shooter video game, for RIM’s tablet. The console and PC game previously made its way to the iOS, but Android support is on the way soon too. Sony Ericsson has announced that they’ll…
We had heard a few weeks ago that RIM was busy working on their own subscription-based music service that would tie in with BlackBerry Messenger. Rumour has it RIM has already signed at least one of the big music labels (Universal, Sony, Warner, and EMI), and that another two are just about ready to close a deal.…
A leaked CostCo memo has revealed that T-Mobile will be launching the BlackBerry Curve 9360 on September 14. Even though it’s a lower-end device than the recently-announced Bold 9900, it’s just as likely to get NFC and mobile hotspot capabilities. Based on what we’ve heard, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 should have a 480 x 360…
Following up on Verizon and Sprint, T-Mobile has announced the specifics of their BlackBerry Bold 9900 launch. The price is set at $299.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year contract. Business pre-orders are available today, but should be hitting shelves on August 31. Not only is that price point ridiculously high, but T-Mobile doesn’t…
According to the latest rumours, the BlackBerry Colt may make it to market before the end of 2011, even though the last we heard of RIM’s first QNX smartphone was aiming for early 2012. In its current testing phase, the Colt apparently couldn’t plug into BlackBerry Enterprise Servers, and was running a single-core processor. We’ve…
A trio of new BlackBerry handsets are on the brink of launching in the U.S., but there’s a few more on the way. The BlackBerry Curve 9360 is one we’ve been hearing about for awhile, and it should be hitting Canada on August 29 care of Bell Mobility, according to some leaked documents. Compared to…
Yesterday, the BlackBerry Bold 9930 got some specific launch dates and pricing from a few different carriers. The press release for Verizon’s model is conspicuously missing any mention of near-field communications, a feature that was supposed to set this phone apart from RIM’s other OS 7 devices. As it turns out, the feature is actually…
The AT&T version of the BlackBerry Torch 9810 now has a solid launch date and price point. It’ll be going for a scant $49.99 on a two-year contract starting August 21. We’re expecting AT&T to launch the 9900 a little bit later, but at least this will give them something to hold up against Verizon…
Alongside Sprint, Verizon has announced that they’ll be launching the BlackBerry Bold 9930 at the same $249.99 on contract price point, only on August 25 rather than the 21st. This lines up with the rumours we had heard earlier, which means the dates for other Verizon handsets, like the Torch 9850 on September 1 and…
Sprint announced today the new BlackBerry Bold 9930, and BlackBerry Torch 9850, its first BlackBerry 7 devices. The two smartphones will be using RIM’s newest version of its smartphone software, which should be exciting for long-time and dedicated BlackBerry users. The Bold 9930 and Torch 9850 will also be the most powerful BlackBerry smartphones out…
