RIM’s BlackBerry Curve 9300 spotted in T-Mobile

Posted by admin On July - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

It’s certainly not the first time we’ve seen this here BlackBerry (with “this here” meaning “Curve 9300″), but it’s the first time we’ve seen it outfitted in carrier clothing. Notice that T-Mobile logo at the bottom? That’s the clearest indication yet that this particular ‘Berry will soon be headed to T-Mob, but given that it’s unlikely to support an upgrade to BlackBerry OS 6, your off-the-chart excitement level may indeed be unwarranted. At any rate, we’re also hearing that Rogers in Canada will Read the rest of this entry »

BlackBerry Bold 9780 leaks out with OS 6

Posted by admin On July - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Take this one with a grain of salt, but it’s looking like our old friend the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is getting a wee bit of an update. Yesterday evening, CrackBerry discovered a RIM document that describes a QWERTY-packing, OS 6-rocking “BlackBerry 9780″ destined for a GSM carrier near you… and less than 24 hours later, handset sleuth Salomondrin claims to have the first picture of the device. While we quite honestly can’t tell the difference, the man who outed the Curve 2 says Read the rest of this entry »

AT&T Encrypted Mobile Voice to bring extra security to Obama’s BlackBerry calls

Posted by admin On July - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Yeah, we know that the Prez was once seen rocking a Verizon-branded BlackBerry 8830, but just bend your mind a bit and bear with us. Shortly after lighting up Wall Street with an exceedingly excellent quarterly earnings report, AT&T has announced an Encrypted Mobile Voice service that’ll hit later in the year. Assuming Obama actually does own an AT&T-branded ‘Berry, he’ll soon be able to enjoy what AT&T calls “the first mobile-to-mobile voice encryption solution using two-factor authentication offered by a US operator.” Said service is expected to provide a higher level of security for calls across the AT&T wireless network, and naturally, it’ll be shopped to government agencies, law enforcement organizations, Read the rest of this entry »

BlackBerry 9800 for AT&T fully exposed!

Posted by admin On June - 29 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

We’ve just been sent a mother lode of shots of RIM’s upcoming BlackBerry 9800 — a phone whose market name is still unknown — but whether it’s called the Bold, the Torch, or something else altogether, we think we’re looking at near-final hardware here. The software is identified as version 0.9, but you can clearly tell from the UI that it’s running BlackBerry 6 with an ever-so-slightly refined look and subtle 3D elements missing from prior releases. This particular phone is AT&T-branded, and it starts up with a carrier logo screen that proudly proclaims the 9800 a world phone — sure enough, the About screen shows support for WCDMA bands I, II, V, and VI, which means you’ll be able to use the phone for 3G Read the rest of this entry »

BlackBerry Curve 9300 prototype gets handled on video

Posted by admin On June - 29 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

BlackBerry lovers, are you sitting at home on a Friday night itching for the latest device scoop? Or out but glued to your screen checking news sites in between BBM relays? Looks like TechnoBuffalo (with a little help from Negri Electronics) has you covered: hands-on time with the Curve 9300. This prototype 8500 replacement has T-Mobile UK bands and is actually working (although with OS 5 at the moment). Compared with its predecessor, the keyboard is apparently improved, the Read the rest of this entry »

British garbage collectors to get 1,500 BlackBerrys

Posted by admin On May - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

First it was the rozzers, now British bin men are getting BlackBerrys as part of their job equipment pack. Biffa, a private garbage collection firm responsible for cleaning up 25 local authorities around the UK, has agreed a £1.7 million ($2.44 million) deal with Vodafone for the provision of some 1,500 BlackBerry handsets along with dongles and 3G data cards. This somewhat curious capital investment has been made in order to allow drivers to download maps, collect data from Read the rest of this entry »

BlackBerry Bold 9800 pics

Posted by admin On May - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

You might’ve been intrigued by the previous show of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider, but this new series of images blows those all out of water. The Berry Fix has a plethora of pics for your perusal, chief among them a showing of the virtual keyboard to complement the physical QWERTY. We gotta say, every announce of good design sense lost on the 9670 must have been spent on this guy; we’re really intrigued by this one. If that wasn’t enough, we’ve got two more details that’ll Read the rest of this entry »

Sprint BlackBerry Bold 9650 goes on sale

Posted by admin On May - 18 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

It looks like Sprint couldn’t wait to share its version of the BlackBerry Bold 9650 with the world — it went on sale online today, a week before its scheduled May 23rd launch. You’re looking at $199 on a two-year deal, but unless you’re dying for a new ‘berry we can’t say we’re finding this Tour-with-an-optical-pad even remotely as exciting as the EVO 4G, which is due on June 4. But it’s still quite handsome, right? That’s… something.

Sprint gets BlackBerry Bold 9650: $200 on contract, ships May 23

Posted by admin On April - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

We suspected that both Sprint and Verizon Wireless would eventually pick up RIM’s hot-off-of-the-press BlackBerry Bold 9650, and sure enough, the former has already come forward with a glowing press release stating as much. Starting on May 23rd (that’s just under a month, for those operating sans any sense of time), Sprint loyalists will be able to score this very smartphone for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and 2-year contract. It’ll reportedly be available in “all Sprint sale Read the rest of this entry »
