The codenamed BlackBerry Javelin has been spinning around the rumour mill for more than four months now, and plenty of info has made the rounds, revealing that it’ll be packing a 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, quad-band EDGE, and a 480×360 screen akin to the BlackBerry Bold’s 480×320, although its processor is just a notch…

BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Coming to O2 & T-Mobile in Germany
All the hype about the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 has been short-lived. Perhaps because of all this craziness around the Storm… One would only have to assume! Some ‘documents’ have landed on the folks at BBNews, and according to them it looks like the 8220 will be heading to T-Mobile and O2 over in Germany. Good…
BlackBerry OS 5.0 to offer remote file access
While OS 4.7 is still being tweaked and fine-tuned for the impending BlackBerry 9530 Storm launch, early betas of OS 5.0 are floating around inside RIM. Now, before those of you packing older devices start freaking out about being phased out of the software loop, don’t worry – this particular build was for the Curve.…
BlackBerry Pearl Flip to come in white
Red and black were some of the shades slated for the BlackBerry 8220, but a press release out of Spain is showing one more option – white. To date the original Pearl has enjoyed lots of colour schemes, which have been gobbled up by the less businessy BlackBerry users, and by launching with three colours…
Mac tools coming soon to BlackBerry
Long has been the plight of the Mac/BlackBerry user, with only the most rudimentary, cavemanlike tools available to sync their handset with their Apple computer… The official Pocket Mac hasn’t been cutting it for a long time, and Missing Sync isn’t much better. Well, word has it that some proper applications for Mac right from…
Rogers getting HTC Touch Diamond
Looks like Telus isn’t going to be the only one enjoying the HTC Touch Diamond – internal docs are showing it’ll be “coming soon!” to Rogers. Yep, that’s right, it’ll be all GSM-ified, while AT&T is still in the dark. Hey, maybe that iPhone clogging the pipe needs a bit of plungering. The same docs…
AT&T BlackBerry Bold delayed until November?
Huh, looks like that off-hand comment about further delays on the Bold wasn’t entirely out of line. Recent internal docs are showing AT&T delays across the board, most prominently including the long-awaited BlackBerry 9000. Man, now the Storm, Javelin and Bold will all be out around the same time… It’ll be a hectic time for…
Telus BlackBerry 8330 available in red
For all of you fashion plates out there, the Canadian CDMA BlackBerry Curve is now available in a new red paint job somewhere between AT&T’s dour crimson and T-Mobile bright sunset colour. It’s still $149.99 on a three-year contract, still has GPS, a 2 megapixel camera, EVDO, and the instant-email goodness you’ve come to expect…
iPhone clogging up AT&T network, delaying Bold
A lot of the speculation regarding AT&T’s lag in launching the BlackBerry Bold has been centred around optimizing the software for 3G reception, but as far as I can tell, the software works just dandy up north, and pretty much everywhere else in the world where the 9000 has been released. What sounds a lot…
