BlackBerry KickStart 8220 Review

Not only did CrackBerry post the first BlackBerry Bold review on the internet, but now they are the first to review the un-announced BlackBerry KickStart. The device is running OS 4.6 with T-Mobile themes and MyFaves application. Kevin has also cleared up a lot of information about the KickStart. One of the interesting things you may have noticed is its now the 8220 not 9100. The BlackBerry 8220 will be T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi sporting KickStart and the 8210 will be the GPS only KickStart seen on AT&T.

Really cool free BlackBerry theme “X Blue”

For anyone who is using the new OS 4.5 on your BlackBerry here is a really cool theme. This theme was designed with the new Plasmic 4.5 CDK and will ONLY work for OS 4.5 (sorry 4.2 and 4.3 users). This theme is complete with bouncing icons on a unique home screen menu. You can grab this theme for free for 8100/8300/8700/8800 series smartphones. Here are the OTA (Over the Air) links to download the theme: Pearl 81xx | Curve 83xx | 87xx | 88xx.

The weeks starting off a little quiet in BlackBerry news, but we will make you drool some more. Just in case you aren't drooling enough over the rumored BlackBerry Thunder.

Rogers BlackBerry Bold Sighting in Public…

CrackBerry scooped up some new shots of live Rogers branded BlackBerry Bolds. Rogers held their Rogers Cup Men's Tennis Tournament over the weekend in Toronto. Can you guess what they had on display? Live actual Rogers branded Bold's.

Not only was did C.B. get images but they also got some more details on the "official launch date". Apparently a press release will go out THIS Friday (July 25th) and then will launch it early August hopefully.  Read More …

What’s after the Thunder? CDMA Javelin or Bold?

Ok let me start this off with NO we don't have any official news on this. However wouldn't it make sense for RIM to release a CDMA Javelin? Just think the Curve is the latest BlackBerry CDMA smartphone and next up will be the Thunder which some people will love and some will hate. What about the QWERTY keyboard people? They need love too…

This got me wondering this morning will RIM launch a CDMA Bold or Javelin after the Thunder? 

(In case you don't know what CDMA is it's the technology that Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, US Cellular, TELUS and Bell all use.)

BlackBerry Bold vs iPhone 3G browser

Boy Genius decided it would be fun to compare take both the BlackBerry Bold and Apple iPhone browsers head to head. In case you don't know the Bold does feature a full HTML web browser similar to the iPhone, even though it doesn't have a touch screen. Click on over to see what the iPhone's browser shows the site like… Read More …

Will OS 4.5 allow radio use below 10% of your battery?

Ronen from BerryReview pointed something very interesting out the other day. You know when your battery gets really low on your BlackBerry you can't use the radio? Well OS 4.5 only seems to shut off the radio once the battery hits 0%! Now this could just be something to do inside the beta coding but it would be sweet if RIM left it this way.

Even Lindsay Lohan gets a Bold… Where’s mine?

So it all started with John Mayer then just the other day Kate Hudson got one and now Lindsay Lohan. Seems the BlackBerry Bold isn't even available to the public yet but certain celebrities are getting caught with one. RIM you really just need to release it to the public so we can all have one!
