Just a quickie here for all of the Facebook for BlackBerry users out there. I know you’re out there… I just received your friend request. Anywhoo, it wasn’t long ago that version 1.8.0.30 was available in the Beta Zone. From there, it was mysteriously pulled… and now, version 1.8.0.49 is available for prime time. That’s…
After updating its iPhone and Android apps, Evernote is bringing its attention to the BlackBerry community. The updated application is much better, featuring the so much needed native note browsing and viewing. That means better and more consistent layout, easier navigation and faster loading — all of which ensure you’ll never jump to the mobile…
Hey BlackBerry Curve 8530 owners… time for a quick OS update, OK? By the sounds (and looks) of things, MetroPCS has released an OFFICIAL OS update for the 8530 by releasing 5.0.0.847. Leaks and official releases for the Curve series have been few and far between these days. Some of you out there may be…
Earlier this month, we had a preview of the upcoming primarily Android smartphones, tablets, and mobile broadband devices slated to hit Verizon Wireless. Today, the remaining devices in the wireless carrier’s portfolio were identified in a another roadmap leak that focuses on the feature phones, BlackBerry handsets, netbooks, and more that are expected to land this…
The BlackBerry Torch costs $183.05 to manufactur, iSuppli said, which makes Research In Motion’s flagship handset less costly than the rival Apple iPhone 4, which costs about $187.51 to manufacture. Of course, these numbers don’t include the research and development costs or the marketing, but rather it is an approximate breakdown of how much the…
Tough break for RIM who sold 150,000 BlackBerry Torch handsets at launch, but sales were labeled “underwhelming” by Goldman Sachs. Considering the general consensus on the BlackBerry Torch 9800, that it’s not really a game changer and will likely only appeal to hardcore BlackBerry fanatics, 150,000 smartphones at launch isn’t all that bad. Of course,…
It looks like US Cellular is finally getting a decent BlackBerry handset in its line-up with the Bold 9650. Adding to the Pearl Flip and Curve 8530, US Cellular will be offering the 9650 for $230 with a contract. Not too shabby for a phone that runs on a pretty solid EV-DO Rev. A network…
Looks like salomandrin is up to his old tricks again. If you have a BlackBerry Bold 9650 in-hand, and are looking forward to OS 6… give this video a gander. In the video, he takes you through the new operating system, and shows it off for you to enjoy. You’ll get a walkthrough the basic…
No, it’s not an OS 6 leak, and no, it’s not for the BlackBerry Torch. The leak, er, actually I should say OFFICIAL OS release I have for you this evening is 5.0.0.807 for the Curve 8350i. If you’re still rockin’ the ever popular 8300 Curve series, in particular, the 8350i… then you may want…
This morning I suggested that perhaps very lukewarm BlackBerry Torch sales might be bolstered by lowering the price. And what do you know–Amazon is selling the “best BlackBerry ever” for half of what you’d nab it for from AT&T. Of course, for the nice low price of $99.99 you’ll still have to sign an agreement…
