We aren’t expecting Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon to be launching their new OS 7 BlackBerry devices until at least August 21, but up in Canada, Rogers has already launched the 9900 and 9810, and Bell has recently joined the fray. Bell’s marketing both of them as 4G, along with just about every other phone they’re…
Right on cue, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Torch 9810 are hitting Rogers stores across Canada. To whet your palate, Rogers has relaunched their 6 GB for $30/month plan, and they’ve also got a new set of daily and weekly data roaming packages for the frequent flyers out there. Rogers has already confirmed that they’d…
You might have heard that RIM was set to cooperate with London authorities to investigate who was participating in the local riots. BBM has apparently been instrumental in organizing groups of looters. A hacking group called TeaMpOisoN didn’t take particularly kindly to this, and took over control of the official Inside BlackBerry blog to issue…
A roadmap of Wireless Giant’s upcoming BlackBerry devices has revealed a trio of RIM accessories are due to go on sale on October 31. One of them, the Cyclone, is what we’ve heard will be a TV accessory, and is described as “Streaming HDMI”. The other two, dubbed Beats and Calypso, are Wi-Fi stereo devices.…
Who says BlackBerry is irrelevant? Research In Motion said it would be working with police on investigating what role, if any, the BlackBerry Messenger service had in organizing the recent riots. London has been under siege by some looting and rioters and authorities say that the BBM service is being used to help coordinate this.…
RIM’s hard at work trying to get their first QNX-powered BlackBerry smartphone out the door for early next year. Word has it that the device currently in testing is only running on a single-core processor (not two, as it may ultimately have at launch), and doesn’t support RIM’s signature BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Apparently it’s been…
Vodafone is gearing up to launch the Torch 9860 and Bold 9900, but they aren’t the only ones offering RIM’s latest in the UK. Three has announced that the Torch 9810 and Bold 9900 will both be coming their way shortly. The BlackBerry Torch 9810 and Bold 9900 are around the same tier of quality,…
Last week we got a quick glimpse of Vodafone’s BlackBerry Torch 9860, but that’s not the only OS 7 device they plan on selling. The Bold 9900 is also set to come out on Vodafone UK, and if the Carphone Warehouse’s listing is accurate, it should be available on August 12 for free with a…
AT&T, Sprint, Rogers, Telus, and Bell are all scheduled to pick up RIM’s new full-touchscreen BlackBerry Torch 9850/60, but what about elsewhere in the world? On launch day, Vodafone confirmed they’d be carrying it by way of a little teaser video showing the ropes of the device. The Torch 9860 (or 9850, for anyone picking…
The other night was a little disappointing since neither of the new BlackBerry devices announced (the Torch 9810 and Torch 9850/60) had near-field communications or mobile Wi-Fi hotspot features. The upcoming Curve 9360 (code-named Apollo), may very well have them included, however. This is pretty interesting, considering we’re expecting the 9360 to be a lower-tier…
