When it comes to the CDMA’d to-the-max BlackBerry Bold 9650, we’ve heard very little when it comes to Verizon. Sure, we’ve reported that Sprint launched it at $199 on 2-year contract, told you about a leaked OS for it, heck, we’ve even got our hands on one. But when it comes to Verizon’s variant of…

A few weeks ago, we caught a quick clip of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider, but, as if it was only to whet our palettes, a full three minutes of footage have bubbled up for our viewing pleasure. It runs down a lot of the features that we’ve already seen in OS 6.0, and as…

I got a nice little toy in the mail this morning: the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100, announced back at WES and coming soon to Rogers, Bell someday, and likely AT&T. While I’ll be sure to do an in-depth review later this week, here are some of the things that hit me right off the bat.…
