Alltel is the latest carrier in North America to introduce the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition smartphone. Aside from the standard business-centric features that give the BlackBerry users access to their email in real-time, the main advantage of the 8830 World Edition is that it can work on both GSM and CDMA networks allowing its users…
Microsoft eyeing RIM for acquisition?
Few days ago, Reuters ran a story speculating that Redmond-based empire may be interested to acquire Research In Motion (RIM). While this appears to be pure analyst speculation, it’s important to note that shares of the BlackBerry maker did experience a 3% increase, following the release of the news story. Apparently, Microsoft may want to…
Sprint’s $10.5 million BlackBerry 8830 World Edition comes with a free private island
Short of having a last name befitting a rebel billionaire, we’re pretty sure most people will be opting for the slightly lesser-priced BlackBerry 8830 World Edition that doesn’t include private island real estate. Sprint’s offering their new BlackBerry 8830 World Edition for a reasonably priced $10.5 million. We say reasonable because it comes with a…
BlackBerry Pearl 2 (8120) live shots and details
Over at PinStack’s BlackBerry Forums, “hayden” has posted tons of live photos of the upcoming BlackBerry 8120, also known as Pearl 2. Apparently, we were wrong – the Pearl 2 won’t sport the GPS — or at least the versions “hayden” got its hands on. Rather, RIM will add WiFi in its stylish smartphone, which…
Rumor alert: Research In Motion working on wireless file transfer for BlackBerry – use RIM’s BES servers to transfer data
We love rumors – especially when they have a distinct possibility of becoming reality. We’re not sure how legit this particular rumor is, but it sure is enticing. Word on the street is that Research In Motion, makers of the addictable (yes it’s a word, we just made it up) BlackBerry handsets, is hard at…
Sprint to launch BlackBerry Pearl 2 on Thanksgiving Day weekend?
The story of the BlackBerry Pearl 2 release slowly starts reminding me on the iPhone launch, except that RIM can’t generate as much as buzz as Apple can. First, we thought the next Pearl — also known as BlackBerry 8130 — is coming to AT&T and Vodafone this September. Later, Sprint’s 2007 and 2008 product…
BerryBUDDY BlackBerry Pearl desktop cradle
We (gadget freaks) love our handsets, hence we want to place them in a safe and secure environment. That being said, nothing suits your working table like a good lookin’ cradle, which not only makes your device visible while you’re on a computer — so you can check the incoming messages and PIM stuff —…
BlackBerry still rules enterprises
The latest report from the market research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey suggests that BlackBerry is still the most preferred device among the enterprise customers. The survey collected responses from hundreds of IT decision-makers at enterprises with more than thousand employees, and have additionally found that RIM and its competitors haven’t been particularly successful at pushing…
Foxy Brown goes nuts, attacks neighbor with BlackBerry mobile phone
Damnit. What it is with celebrities that make them think it’s ok to attack people with their mobile phones? If anything they should use their fists and elbows, that way they wouldn’t be charged with assault with a weapon. Foxy Brown is the latest celebrity to basically lose their mind and go ape-shit on someone…
AT&T crippling their BlackBerry 8820 with limited GPS functionality?
It’s a sad day when carriers purposely cripple or disable their handsets. The only thing sadder is being constantly reminded of that fact. Case in point, AT&T is reportedly crippling the GPS feature on their upcoming BlackBerry 8820. Apparently, the BlackBerry 8820 may ship with a limited navigation software suite – the TeleNav service from…
