This one is kind of odd… but it is what it is. Fido has officially released OS 4.6.1.320 for the BlackBerry Curve 8520. Why is this odd? Well, because Fido hasn’t even officially launched the device yet, that’s why! I just took a look at the Fido.ca site, and there’s no trace of the 8520…
OS 5.0.0.463 Leaked for the BlackBerry Curve 8530
A quickie here for anyone packing the BlackBerry Curve 8530. Over the weekend an OS leak occurred (albeit an unofficial one), giving us OS 5.0.0.463 for the 8530. It’s been a little while for 8530 owners, as the last OS leak was way back at .386. If you’ve got a BlackBerry 8530 in-hand, and feel…

Virgin Mobile, a relatively recent acquisition of Bell Mobility, has finally hooked into the new HSPA network that had been rolled out by its big brother, and is offering a range of high end devices to take advantage.

Study: Windows Phone Enterprise Growth Exceeds BlackBerry’s
A recent study by Aberdeen Group examined current and planned enterprise mobile deployments, and though BlackBerry is still the king of the hill, its lead is shrinking. Their projected growth in enterprise is 3% for 2010, while Windows Mobile’s is 7%, which, if accurate, would make it a 77% – 70% race between the two.…
T-Mobile Taking Care of Their Balls… Trackballs, that is!

Hands-On Video of BlackBerry Magnum
The source of those first pictures of the touchscreen/QWERTY candybar, the BlackBerry Magnum, has released a short video hardware tour. The casing is nearly identical to the Bold 9000, but seeing as this is a preproduction unit with no working OS, we can expect to see some changes before things get officially released. Still, you…
Official: BlackBerry Tour 9650 Coming Soon
BlackBerry’s official Facebook page had accidentally let slip that the Tour 9650 would be coming soon (and promptly pulled the message). If you hadn’t heard of the Essex, the 9650 will basically be an updated Tour 9630, except it will have Wi-Fi and a trackpad. The device isn’t a huge surprise, since it had been…
Boost Mobile launches BlackBerry Monthly Unlimited Plan with BlackBerry Curve 8330
Boost Mobile has introduced the BlackBerry Curve 8330 on its BlackBerry Monthly Unlimited plan. I’m guessing the idea is to push the Curve 8330 beyond enterpises to the “regular Joe” who may also like the idea of push-email. In that sense, Boost has ensured consumers can easily grab the device from Best Buy, RadioShack as…
