RIM’s BlackBerry software download page for Wind Mobile is listing the Curve 3G 9300, a phone that has yet to be announced by the upstart Canadian carrier. Unconfirmed rumours are pointing to a launch in the second week of November. The Curve 3G 9300 is an entry-level BlackBerry that has a 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera…
AT&T’s getting in the holiday spirit by announcing white and red versions of the BlackBerry Torch 9800, arriving November 7. It’s unlikely that a fresh paint job will dramatically improve dwindling sales, but gosh darn, are they good-lookin’. AT&T is still selling the Torch for $199 on contract, while it’s only $79 on Amazon or…
The BlackBerry Style 9670 was announced on Sprint last week and we have since got our hands on a review unit to play around with. Just as a refresher, the BlackBerry 9670 is RIM’s second go at a clamshell smartphone, and hosts a 2.4″ HVGA display, colour external display for at-a-glance notifications, 5 megapixel camera…
After much ado, RIM has officially announced the BlackBerry Bold 9780 – a refresh on the Bold 9700, including an upgraded camera, more memory, and all of the bells and whistles that come with OS 6.

We watched the replay of the live stream from earlier this morning where RIM’s co-CEO Mike Lazaridis showed off the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, and snagged the full demo for those of you who missed it. For those unfamiliar, the PlayBook has a 5 megapixel camera on the back, a video conferencing camera on the front,…
RIM has launched a new version of their Facebook application in the BlackBerry Beta Zone which includes some significant updates, like a separate inbox for all of your Facebook messages, a unified search that also ties in with BlackBerry 6, and a bunch of UI improvements. As usual, Facebook for BlackBerry not only lets you…
You know what, nevermind playing around in the BlackBerry PlayBook in the Adobe AIR simulator, how about a live device for a change? Aside from a few brief glances at speeches on stage, and a stifling demo display, we had until now seen very little of RIM’s first tablet actually running the native OS. Today…
Ever since seeing the demo video of the BlackBerry PlayBook, we’ve been curious to see how the OS actually handles without all the marketing whizz-pow, or bulletproof casing. Thankfully, as part of the Adobe AIR SDK that was launched this morning, there was a device simulator included so developers could see how (or if) their…
We’ve heard that the BlackBerry 9780 would be coming to T-Mobile U.S. by way of their leaked accessory list, but today we have a launch window. The refreshed Bold will be landing around November 17 according to this leaked slide, though no information about a subsidized on-contract cost is included. The 9780 is also likely…
