Rumors have it that a new BlackBerry Storm-type device will be announced at WES 2009… It is apparently a new variation of the Storm, and from what I’ve been reading so far, it is code named the ‘Magnum‘. Truly, a device Magnum P.I. would be proud of (bad joke). The device for all intents and…

AT&T hosts BlackBerry Bold launch party without devices
Nothing says confidence like having a big ol’ shindig for a device you can’t even give out yet. AT&T’s launch party for the BlackBerry Bold went down in New York the other night as scheduled, and they still couldn’t give 9000s away to attendees, although everyone would get one after the official release. You can…

AT&T BlackBerry Bold coming with free mobile video?
I guess it’s only fair that American customers get some kind of consolation prize for waiting so long for the BlackBerry Bold, and unlimited, free cellular video on a qualifying plan is a good start. The BlackBerry 9000 has one hell of a screen, and with both 3G and Wi-Fi in there, it could be…
BlackBerry Storm due on Rogers before Christmas?
We had heard briefly that the BlackBerry Storm would be coming to Rogers back in August, but we’ve got further confirmation that all three of Canada’s carriers will be getting the touchscreen BlackBerry before the end of the year. Bell and Telus have been pretty open about supporting the BlackBerry 9530, but we haven’t heard…
