Seeing as I’m in the market for a new BlackBerry, and I’ve been eyeing up the Bold 9700 for some time now (yes, in White!)… this is awesome news. That is, if you’re Canadian like me. In some new images sent over to our pals at CrackBerry, it looks like some Rogers locations now have…
BlackBerry’s GPS Position to be Shared with Developers by Default?
At one of the BlackBerry App World 2.0 launch events, TWiT’s Becky Worley learned that RIM will be leveraging their acquisition of Dash Navigation by crowdsourcing GPS information from BlackBerry users to build a traffic database. Sounds pretty clever, right? Well, by default such data sharing will apparently be enabled, and users will have to…
BlackBerry Atlas Captured on Camera Again
The BlackBerry Atlas has been spotted a few times, first at CES, then hanging out next to the 9670 clamshell, and today we have a few more pictures, though we’re still not too sure about the model number, since it’s clearly not the 8910. I’m tempted to think this is the 9700a, which was rumoured…
BlackBerry 9800 Slider Gets Hands-on Impressions
The source from the last batch of photos of the unreleased BlackBerry Bold/Torch 9800 slider has had some more time with the device, and developed a few impressions, along with this shot better showing the thickness difference with the Storm2 and Bold 9700.

Adobe has announced that after a series of betas, the mobile version of their Flash player is production-ready and now available to partners. Android gets a lot of attention in the press release, confirming that the Flash player will be baked right into 2.2 (a.k.a. Froyo), but BlackBerry, webOS, Windows Phone, Linux Mobile, MeeGo, and…
RIM Issues Trademark Application for “BlackBerry Drive”
RIM has just recently applied for a trademark on the term “BlackBerry Drive”, which will apply to a wide variety of situations, ranging from software, education, wireless, repair, payment, and advertising services, and lots more. Despite the breadth of the application, it seems likely that BlackBerry Drive has something to do with QNX, a recent…

OK BlackBerry addicts, it’s time for my weekly BlackBerry OS Roundup. I’ve put together all (or at least all of the ones I’ve found!) of the leaked (albeit only 1!) and official BlackBerry OS releases from the past 7 days. So, if you’re eager to install a new operating system on your beloved Berry, take…
BlackBerry Curve 8910 Unboxed, Announced on China Mobile
The BlackBerry Curve 8910 is a device we’ve heard relatively little about, but it’s gone official in China. There’s a bit of weirdness going on here, though – as you can see, this version has a trackball, as does another 8910 we saw in Venezuela. However, we’ve also seen two new Curves with trackpads that…
