BlackBerry has been slowly rolling out new devices this year, and while it’s better late than never, the U.S. is finally getting the 9100 Pearl 3G. Who gets to claim first? Cincinnati Bell. After seeing the BlackBerry Pearl 3G at WES this year, we were almost certain that it would hit one of the big…
We had seen a picture of the unreleased BlackBerry 9780 running OS 6 earlier this week, and now there are a few more snaps that confirm it’s running OS 6.0.0.79 and has at least 306.1 MB of app memory (likely 512 MB at most). Wi-Fi, b/g, 3G, GPS, and 480 x 360 display round out…
We just got an invite to a joint BlackBerry/AT&T event in New York for next Tuesday, which both of our local boys, Marc and Daniel, will be attending. We’re expecting this to be the announcement of the much-spied BlackBerry 9800 slider, given AT&T’s definitely getting it, and that icon looks supiciously like something we’ve seen…
Those submitting to the App World can now pick the upcoming BlackBerry 9800 and OS 6 as compatibility options, further solidifying suspicions of an August 15 release on AT&T. AT&T won’t be the only one offering RIM’s first slider, though; rumour has it Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2, Telefonica, and Orange are all testing the device for…
We had heard last week that the ho-hum BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 would be wriggling its way to Bell, and now internal documents are showing an August 12 launch date. From what we’ve gathered, the BlackBerry 9300 (code-named Kepler) will be a microscopic upgrade to the 8500 series, offering the same screen, same camera, same…
Looking for a new BlackBerry Theme? Chances are, if you’re a regular on the BlackBerry theme scene, you’ll already know of my bud Hedone Hawker over at HedoneDesign. He notified me the other day of a new theme he’s pumped out… titled ‘Cartan’, this one packs a lot of functionality into it, something I’ve come…
Last week, RIM kicked off a closed beta for BlackBerry Software 6.0, which will be the PC counterpart to their brand new handheld operating system. Some enterprising haxxorz have freed the Desktop Software from its NDA-bound prison, and are now sharing it with the world – go ahead and get downloading at any of the…
If you’re a die-hard BlackBerry fan and power user, be glad you live where you do — unless you live in the UAE. Apparently, the laws and regulations there don’t play too kindly with BlackBerry services, so there is a chance that the mobile devices may be banned in the future. Part of the reason…
A quick one here for all of the BlackBerry users out there. If you like to ‘tweet’ on the go, the very popular Twitter client ‘UberTwitter‘ was recently updated to Beta 8, and is available for download. No official changelog has been made available as of yet, but from what I can tell there’s a…
An analyst from Frost & Sullivan is claiming that RIM’s 4G BlackBerry (code-named Triton) will be launched in December, include 4G and “a 5.0 megapixel camera with both front and back imaging”. Whether that means it’s one camera that swivels kind of like on the Notion Ink Adam, or if it’s just poorly worded and…
