First live photos of BlackBerry Gemini 8325 appear online…

By James on Mar 17, 2009 in BlackBerry, Curve 8300 Series, Rumors.

A new picture has surfaced of what is being called BlackBerry “Gemini” 8325. It’s a cross between the two Curve series 8300 and 8900. The Gemini is rumored to feature OS 5.0 with a 320×240 high resolution display, Quadband GSM/EDGE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and possibly N, 2.0 megapixel camera (ew really?) and of course the Curve’ s full QWERTY keyboard. It’s expected that this will be the first device to launch with OS 5.0 sometime later this year. Basically it seems that its just a slightly updated Curve 8320 is a flasher body.

I really hope they decide to put a 3G radio in this thing…

coveroo-review-intro

Have you heard of Coveroo before? They offer laser engraved battery doors for all kinds of devices including BlackBerry smartphones. We had a chance test out Coveroo’s battery doors for the BlackBerry Storm, Curve and Pearl. Unfortunately no one on the team has a Bold at the moment or we would have checked them out too. I decided to get a custom door for my Storm with the BlackBerry Sync logo on it and then they included a couple Valentines Day designs for the Curve and Pearl. Coveroo offers all different stock colored battery doors so you don’t have to mix and match colors, of course unless you want too. Coveroo’s are currently available for the BlackBerry Bold, Curve, Pearl, Storm and 8800 series. The cool part about them is you can choose from hundreds of different designs or send in your own custom design (for an additional charge). Read More

First there was a stock shortage on the BlackBerry Storm, now there seems to be one on the Curve 8330. According to Mobile Syrup, Bell has doubled their three year contract price in order to save a little stock on the BlackBerry Curve 8330. They have told employees to offer the free Pearl 8130 before showing the Curve due to the stock issues. So for now if you really want a Bell Curve you will have to dish out $99.95 for that three year term.
