Will’s post on Verizon’s winter lineup was the most popular article this week on IntoMobile, guess we have a lot of readers who are Verizon subscribers! Those same people will probably appreciate this video with James from jkontherun checking out the new BlackBerry, Venus, Juke and Voyager:
RIM prepping 3G, iPhone-fighting BlackBerry 9000/9xxx?
RIM is really on a roll recently. They’ve been pumping out handsets faster than ever, and it looks like RIM’s next big handset will aim at Apple’s iPhone. It makes sense, since every phone manufacturer out there is gunning to, well, out-gun the iPhone with touchscreen offerings of their own. Research In Motion (RIM), makers…
Another RIM BlackBerry outage?
The title says it all. Reports are coming in from various interwebs that indicate another RIM BlackBerry server outage. If this turns out to be more than a regional/isolated outage, we’re looking at yet another RIM outage – the second outage in as many months. Oh, and this would make it strike three for RIM’s…
Verizon announces four new handsets – Juke, Pearl, Venus, Voyager
As expected, Verizon Wireless has just announced four new handsets for their holiday lineup. We were looking for Verizon to drop the Samsung Juke, BlackBerry Pearl, LG Venus, and LG Voyager on us soon, and the wait is over. It looks like RIM’s recently announced BlackBerry 8130 Pearl 2.0 is going to Verizon Wireless. The…
RIM announces CDMA BlackBerry Pearl 8130 – the BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 with GPS
Research In Motion (RIM), makers of the venerable BlackBerry lineup of smartphones, has finally announced their anticipated BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 as the CDMA BlackBerry Pearl 8130. The update to the Pearl lineup is the first BlackBerry Pearl for email addicts on a CDMA network (Verizon/Sprint). We’re expecting the BlackBerry 8130 to bring some updated software…
Verizon Wireless to launch Juke, Pearl, Venus, Voyager simultaneously
So it looks like Verizon Wireless is really trying to heat things up. They must still be feeling rather bitter about not jumping on the iPhone bandwagon when they had their chance. With the iPhone still selling like Twinkies at a Fat Camp, and AT&T slated to launch some other cool devices, we can imagine…
Sling Media working with RIM on BlackBerry compatible SlingPlayer
It seems like everyone is getting in on the SlingPlayer Mobile fun. Windows Mobile (both Smartphone and PocketPC editions) smartphones have it; there’s a Symbian client being tested, compatible with the Nokia N95; and even Palm OS, as antiquated as it is, has a SlingPlayer client to boast of. What about Research In Motion’s BlackBerry…
AT&T to launch red BlackBerry Curve 8310?
Although you can’t say that from the image on the right, AT&T is reportedly preparing to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8310 in red. Again and again we see both carriers and handset makers releasing their handsets in multiple colors to appeal to both sexes and different styles. Hack, we’ve even seen T-Mobile releasing BlackBerry Pearl…
Video: BlackBerry 8320, when WiFi adds absolutely nothing to the user experience
EDGE vs WiFi, common sense dictates one blows the other out of the water in terms of bandwidth. Is this really the case in the recently launched BlackBerry 8320 on T-Mobile? Boy Genius finds out: Update: Video after the jump, it breaks our tables 😉 [Full specifications of the 8320]
AT&T: BlackBerry 8820 GPS is fully functional, not crippled
That’s right. The one thing we all feared with the launch of the RIM-made BlackBerry 8820 was that AT&T would have crippled the GPS module to work only with the pay-service, TeleNav. Rumors were circling the various internets regarding such GPS-crippling – and the prospect of having to pay to use a feature that was…
