It seems like the latest rumors floating around over at BGR is that the BlackBerry 8830 will be slightly delayed until mid-July. While no one can confirm why it’s simply just a rumor. Some are saying that the delayed issues could be because of the Verizon launch issues or maybe even RIM is having stock issues.(Via BlackBerryCool)

PC World has ranked the BlackBerry 8800 5th in their Top 100 Best Products of 2007. RIM must be quite proud as thats very impressive. The BlackBerry 8800 landed in the top five along with Google Apps Premier Edition, Intel Core 2 Duo, Nintendo Wii and Verizon FiOS. Check out the list over at PCWorld.com

BG has posted over on his site that it looks like RIM and AT&T are holding a BlackBerry Curve launch party June 8th in New York City. No other real details yet but you know he will get some more info on this real soon.

Stay tuned (especially on the 25th of this month…)

The CrackBerry team has reviewed a very neat case for the BlackBerry. The OutterBOX BlackBerry cases are available for both the 8700 and 7200 series models. It encases your device making it dust, drop and crush proof in a polycarbonate/ABS body. The best part is you can still do everything with your device such as send/receive calls, write messages and charge it.

The “stylish” OutterBOX case will cost you a whooping $129.99 USD however it’s a great idea for protection in heavy duty environments. Check out OutterBOX.com for details and other cases for iPods and Treo’s just to name a few.

RIM has uploaded their latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software (4.2). The new desktop software version 4.2 allows you to use BlackBerry® Desktop Media Manager for your multimedia enabled BlackBerry device such as Pearl, Curve, 8800, 8830, etc.

As you can tell it keeps getting closer and closer. The BlackBerry 8830 is now plastered all over the Telus web sites. Today we noticed a very large banner on Telus.com saying “BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. Backed by TELUS.” Then when you click for details you get the promo page.

We have new information which tells us the 8830 will be instores next month (June). The price tag still that lovely $499 with three year contract. Stay tuned for more details.

Ok so we are beginning the wonder what the hell is going on… Telus has not made a official announcement nor has RIM that they will be carrying the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, although they have already started advertising it on their site. If you visit TelusMobility.com today you will notice the 8830 cleary right on the main page along with the promo page showing the device for $499 with a 3 year contract.

We aren’t 100% sure when they will announce it however we know it’s coming real soon…

Small little update: They changed the picture on the main page to show what the Telus theme will look like on their 8830.

Boy Genius has reported today that RIM is getting ready for a next generation BlackBerry Pearl this September. They claim the BlackBerry 8120 will come in four colours (black, red, titanium, blue, and gold). It’s said to be sport a 2 megapixel camera, GPS and Wi-Fi. It is expected that both T-Mobile in the states and Rogers Wireless in Canada will launch these new devices in September.

It’s being reported that Verizon is having some launch issues with the highly anticipated BlackBerry 8830 World Edition device. Apparently Verizon CSR’s have said  the “website and sales department can not process any orders because of a glitch with the process.”. We suggest if you are interested in placing an order for the BlackBerry 8830 you contact Verizon’s Business Channel at 1 (800) 899-4249. Check out Verizon’s 8830 site.
