FCC Approves the GSM-Only BlackBerry Storm
The GSM-only BlackBerry Storm has passed through the FCC. Looks like this news has dropped just as AT&T made the BlackBerry Bold available! I always get a kick out of new device news dropping before the actual ‘newest’ device even hits the market. This one was a close call. The GSM-only BlackBerry Storm will feature…

BlackBerry Pearl Flip going live in Brazil
TIM has announced the BlackBerry 8220 for Brazil, but without any pricing or dates, unfortunately.

BlackBerry Bold in… denim?
So what do you do when that BlackBerry Bold with faux-leather backing needs to take a casual Friday? Why, swap in the denim-clad battery door from CNN. $50 is a little steep for a back cover, but well worth it for a corporate suit looking to stick out from his uptight exec colleagues. It’s currently…
BlackBerry Pearl Flip gets Official on Rogers
After dummy units of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip started arriving at Rogers outlets last week, it was a bit of a no-brainer that launch was coming. Still, official pricing and a release tomorrow is good to have finalized. Hopefully the $50 price point (on 3-year contract) will help the BlackBerry 8220 sell better than it…
Rogers Wireless Continues to Disappoint Consumers in Q4
My ongoing gripes with Rogers continue. Although they are a huge business and need to of course please the shareholders, it seems that they are the slowest and most expensive carrier out there north of the border. It sure would be nice to have an unlimited data plan to use (like the rest of the…
Verizon BlackBerry Storm site updated, treasure hunt announced
The BlackBerry Storm notification page set up by Verizon back during the announcement has received a significant overhaul, showing off not only specs and 360°-worth of pictures, but also something of a treasure hunt from November 6th. to the 15th. All entrants have to do is find as many spots scattered around Manhattan (based on…
