The good folks at Virgin Mobile have pushed through a new music app/player for BlackBerry. Called ‘Virgin Mobile Live’, the new app packs a whole lot of features. With this new music player (and more) you can not only play the music you already have, but you can find new stuff, then share it and…
Rogers BlackBerry Pearl 3G (9100) Now Available via Best Buy
While I’ve got the new Pearl 3G on-the-brain, might as well continue with the topic. While all of the major carriers in Canada are going to pack the 9100 on their shelves (I’m talking TELUS, Bell, Rogers, heck, even Virgin Mobile), availability is somewhat up in the air. As often times happens, a third party…
T-Mobile: To Pearl 3G or Not to Pearl 3G, That is the Question
Some interesting developments on the Pearl 3G came to light recently. While all major carriers in Canada have confirmed they will pack the 9100, carriers in the United States haven’t been as forthcoming with their plans. One can only assume that at least ONE major player will have the 3G on-board shortly, but from some…
White BlackBerry Bold 9700 Now Available on Rogers’ Website
Yesterday I surmised it wouldn’t be long before the BlackBerry Bold 9700 in WHITE showed up on the Rogers website. The device had already gone live at Best Buy and Future Shop… isn’t it odd how the actual device carrier is often the LAST to promote and put-up the darn thing? At any rate, this…
Tawkon Estimates BlackBerry Brain-Frying

China Telecom Launches BlackBerry Storm
As expected, China Telecom has confirmed that they’ll be launching their first BlackBerry this month: the CDMA Storm. The BlackBerry Storm, as many of you know, has a 3.2 megapixel camera, HVGA display, and RIM’s patented SurePress clicking touchscreen. This is the first time SurePress is finding its way into China; it’ll be interesting to…
Verizon Cranking Out Fathers’ Day Promos Already
Verizon is already starting with the Fathers’ Day offers. Can’t blame them. It’s always good to get an early jump on shopping, no matter the occasion. In an email I received last night, VZW details a Samsung Reality BOGO (buy one, get one free) offer. Buy one Samsung Reality, and you’ll get another for free…
OS 5.0.0.681 Leaked for the BlackBerry Bold 9000
While news of the White BlackBerry Bold 9700 going live in Canada is great for sure, many of us are still using the tried-and-true Bold 9000. If this includes you, a new OS has leaked out for your Bold. OS 5.0.0.681 is now available, and you can download it right here. As always, if you…
