Bell Mobility has finally made the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition available to it's clients after being on their website unavailable for almost two weeks. Bell has launched their 8830 for $299.95 with three year contract and are including three months of unlimited data (same as Telus) with new activations. So stop by your local Bell World or Bell authorized dealer to pick up an 8830.

Just in case the BlackBerry Curve isn't quite doing it for you why don't you check out Apple's new guided tour of the iPhone. It shows everything from making a call, to listening to music, to writing a text message, to turning off the device. It shows all the tricks of the iPhone. Check it out. A friendly reminder the iPhone launches June 29th at 6PM at your local AT&T store in the United States.

Amazon's got a sweet deal on the BlackBerry Curve 8300 with new service from AT&T in the United States. The BlackBerry Curve is usually $199 with service agreement from AT&T, however if you order it from Amazon you can pick up the Curve for only $44.99 with service. That's a hot little deal for the Curve. Our guess is that Amazon's getting ready for their iPhone stock.

Check out the BlackBerry Curve on Amazon.com. If you order a Curve you may want to also consider picking up a 2GB microSD memory card for $23.92 USD as well.

RIM has filed a patent for a unique new type of keyboard. The keyboard would roll back to reveal the screen for watching media. You would still have access to several buttons to select options. It's a unique idea but no word if RIM will make it fly anytime soon.

Alright it's now official. Telus has officially started getting it's employees and clients pumped for the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. It's now officially listed as one of their phones coming soon. BlackBerry Sync has got all the official documents and pricing and it goes like this:

• 3 Year Contract (with voice & data plan) $299.99
• 3 Year Contract (no data) $499.99
• 2 Year Contract $549.99
• 1 Year Contract $599.99
• Month to Month (No Contract) $649.99

From what we get Telus has blocked the GPS part so they can offer their Telus Navigator service. One really neat feature Telus is adding to this device is their Mobile Music Store (which would allow unlimited music downloads for $20). International roaming will cost you an arm and leg, the pricing follows like this: If you sign up before October 1, 2007 you get 50% off international roaming (United States is not included). The rate for international roaming is $51.20/MB CAD but with your 50% off your looking at $25.60 per MB. Ouch.

The BlackBerry 8830 World Edition starts shipping June 29th and should be available just a few days after that in all stores. We aren't sure why it was delayed exactly buy I guess they got all problems fixed for now. Read over for more on the 8830.

Apple has released a document showing how the BlackBerry Curve along side with the Samsung BlackJack, Treo 750 and Nokia N95 take on Apple's iPhone. The biggest claim to date is the iPhone will feature a 8 hour talk-time battery life. Now hopefully the iPhone battery will be better than my trusty ole' iPod.
