For the third day in a row, we’re getting a chance to check out the pre-release BlackBerry 9780, which is almost too bad considering how little there is to check out. The video gives us a full harware tour, confirming that it is indeed identical to the 9700. The software review is nothing especially new…
Happy Friday all. Thought I’d share a little BlackBerry theme love with you folks this fine morning. Earlier today my good bud Hedone Hawker dropped me a note to let me know of his latest theme, of which he has just released. Called ‘Retnio’, the theme brings an old school radio feel to your BlackBerry,…
Well looky here. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any official BlackBerry OS releases, but I’ve got one for you right now. Looks as though Hutchinson has officially released OS 5.0.0.822 for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and Bold 9000. Both builds are very official, so they should run just fine and dandy if you have…

After seeing more of the BlackBerry 9780 this morning, I was getting worried that OS 6 would require particular hardware to run properly and that we would see little backwards compatibility, but as it turns out, the BlackBerry Bold 9650 on Verizon will indeed run the new operating system just fine. There’s been a lot…
Today may be the day we finally get confirmation that RIM’s rumored and unofficial BlackBerry tablet, codenamed “Cobalt,” will be known as the BlackPad. We’ve long expected the BlackBerry maker to go with the BlackPad name for tablet device, but a newly discovered domain registration from RIM seems to all but confirm the moniker as…
RIM published a cute little YouTube video today explaining why BlackBerry smartphones are ideal for enterprise, going through the usual spiel of high availability, tight security, app support, and user control.

A brand new BlackBerry store just opened up in Beijing, China, offering visitors the full tour of the BlackBerry experience, and selling proper devices and plans for China Mobile right in store.
