By James on Oct 05, 2008 in BlackBerry, Featured News, RIM, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Un-Released models, Verizon.

Boy Genius has posted an everything you would want to know about the BlackBerry Storm 9530. You can check out all the slides but here is a quick run down… As you may or may not know the Storm will feature a revolutionary touch screen that clicks when pressed down. It will also feature a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, high resolution 3.25″ display, both full QWERTY and Suretype touch keyboards and Assisted GPS (which provides your location faster). These slides also show details on how to type and use the Storm (and OS 4.7).

All I can say is Boy Genius you are the man! Apparently there is more details to come…

A very interesting article has arrived that indicates there will be two new CDMA Blackberry devices coming in 2009 (code named Niagara and Apex).

The Niagara is essentially the CDMA version of the Bold, which will have styling similar to the BlackBerry Thunder and will be the next generation of the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. Apex is the CDMA version of the Pearl Flip 8200 Series (Kickstart) that many GSM carriers (such as T-Mobile, Rogers, etc).

RIM says AT&T’s Bold still in testing…

By James on Oct 04, 2008 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, USA.

A post popped up yesterday quoting RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis saying that AT&T is still internally testing their 3G BlackBerry Bold 9000 and that it should be ready later this year. Orginally the BlackBerry Bold was suppose to launch on AT&T back in May, however may delays due to issues with signal and battery delayed it. The Bold has made apparences all around the world including now in Canada.

“There’s great scrutiny, as you might know, on that network and a certain device. So I guess everyone wants to be sure on every last test,” said RIM’s co-CEO. So with any luck you guys in the United States should be able to pick up a Bold for at least Christmas (hopefully before).

Media Sync for Mac is coming soon!

By James on Oct 02, 2008 in BlackBerry, RIM, Rumors, Software.

Today’s a good day for Mac users like myself. A recent post in RIM’s Knowledge database (Article KB16003) is showing RIM is getting ready to launch Media Sync for Mac OS X users. It looks like this software is designed for the BlackBerry Pearl 8220, however I’m sure it will work with all models. You might even find it will ship with the 8220? So keep an eye on here for this software as it should be out soon!!

Any luck at all and RIM will launch a Mac verison of Desktop Manager soon enough as well…
