Some rumours are suggesting that the Storm 3 we had seen a few months ago with a 3.7″ touchscreen and an optical trackpad is codenamed Monaco. Also, the old Dakota/Magnum project that put a touchscreen on the Bold 9000 form factor has been revived as the Montana, apparently. It’s entirely likely that the Montana is…
Just when RIM had pretty much emptied out everything they had been working on lately, like the Style, Bold 9780, and Torch, we’re starting to get wind of the next batch of BlackBerry devices. Vodafone Germany is listing a battery cover for the BlackBerry 9900 in their inventory, which is a device we haven’t really…
After plenty of leaks, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is going for sale for the first time at Telus. No doubt Rogers, Bell, AT&T, and T-Mobile will be shortly behind, but if Rogers’ $149.99 pricing pans out, Telus will have the lead with a $99.99 price point on a three-year contract. The BlackBerry Bold 9780 isn’t…
If you’re in the UK, and carry a BlackBerry as your daily driver, the BBC iPlayer app for BlackBerry is now available for you… Well, almost.

A little late night BlackBerry OS leak action for the Bold 9650 users out there. By the looks of things, 6.0.0.333 has leaked for the device.

The BlackBerry Torch didn’t make as big a wave as RIM had hoped when it was first released, so to spark new interest in an aging gadget is to release new colors. If you’ve been getting tired of staring at silver gadgets all day long, and you’ve been wanting a new Torch for AT&T, you…
There appears to be a strong demand for the ability to circumvent the carriers for quick messages, as the Kik Messenger app for the Apple iPhone, Android and BlackBerry has just surpassed 1 million users in only a few short weeks. The Kik Messenger app is downloaded to your Apple iPhone, Android or BlackBerry and…
A whole whackload of Rogers info leaked today, including pricing on upcoming devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9780, Nokia N8, Samsung Focus, and Dell Streak, along with some new data sharing plans particularly applicable to the Samsung Galaxy Tab. There are a lot of slides, but here’s the short version: BlackBerry Bold 9780: $149.99 on…
Wind has just announced a new plan option called WINDtab, which lets you knock off up to $150 from the initial handset cost which you instead pay over time on your monthly mobile bill. Your bill doesn’t even go up, Wind just applies 10% of what you’re paying to the tab. So, if you’re paying…
It looks like Bank of America and Citigroup are looking to ditch the archaic and dinosaur of a smartphone that is the BlackBerry and may be switching to the iPhone.
