BlackBerry Curve 8350i to churp on TELUS Mike soon?

By James on Nov 18, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Curve 8300 Series, Exclusives, Rumors, Telus.

Our TELUS ninja has reported that TELUS’ Mike iDEN network will finally see a new BlackBerry soon. The BlackBerry Curve 8350i is the new addition to the iDEN BlackBerry lineup (joining the 7100i and 7520i). It will feature Wi-Fi, OS 4.6, Direct Connect (PTT) and a little more ruggid but similar design to the current Curve 8300 series. Unfortunantly for now this ninja doesn’t have an exact release but they are expecting it to come soon with tons of accessories to make it a more consumer friendly market.

So what do you think? Will TELUS introduce two BlackBerry smartphones (Storm and iDen Curve) in the month of December or will they wait until early next year??

Thanks, Frogger

Looking for a cool BlackBerry theme?

By James on Sep 25, 2008 in BlackBerry, Curve 8300 Series, Downloads, Pearl 8100 Series, Themes.

Have I got one for you! Check out Elecite’s new premium theme called “Scion”. I’ve been using this theme since it was released yesterday and so far this is my favorite theme to date. Before this theme I was a “L Theme” type guy, nothing too fancy.

Elecite’s new Scion theme has some of the best graphics I’ve seen yet in OS 4.5+ themes. It’s only $6.99 and its well worth it. This theme does require your BlackBerry be running OS 4.5 or higher. The theme is available for Curve, Pearl or 8800 series.

Not only that but the “Javelin 8900″ as we are calling it for now will feature a new style trackball called “Atomic trackball”. This will help prevent dust, dirt and other stuff from getting into the trackball and causing it to stop responding. Read More
