By now most of you have seen us talk about OtterBox’s protective cases for smartphones. We got word today that OtterBox has released their new Impact Case for the BlackBerry Bold. Just last month OtterBox released their Defender series case for the Bold which brings the most protection (see them in the BBSync Store).

“This thin, skin-like design offers your BlackBerry Bold protection against bump and shock. All buttons, ports and functions are accessible right through the case, and the inner corners are designed to dissipate impact AWAY from your device. Also, the OtterBox for BlackBerry Bold Impact Series has an ergonomic design that your hands will love to be wrapped around!”

If your a fan of the new Impact case for the Bold you can pick it up at OtterBox.com for $19.99 USD.

Thanks Miki!

RIM and AT&T held a BlackBerry launch event in San Francisco last night. Looks like they actually had AT&T branded BlackBerry Bold’s on hand to giveaway there last night! If you saw last week the held a party in New York and didn’t give any Bold’s out just coupons for a free one. Now don’t get me wrong a free Bold is great but it would have been better if they got it that night. Anyways the folks over at BBNews got a hold of some party shots. Continue Reading

We missed this one over the weekend. Boy Genius has released Rogers’ 2009 Blackberry lineup! Its filled with one new device every quarter and it will all start off with the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (formally known as Javelin) in Q1 then followed by a BlackBerry Storm varriant in Q2, BlackBerry “Magnum” (Curve 8900 with 3G) for Q3 and last but not least the BlackBerry Pluto (Bold-like device with touchscreen) for Q4 of 2009. Keep in mind they most likely won’t be getting the internal names and call the devices Magnum and Pluto. Also we should expect to see several new devices at WES (Wireless Enterprise Symposium) 2009 :-).

As you may have read AT&T held a launch party in New York City the other night and basically didn’t have any Bold’s on hand to actually give out. Instead they gave everyone a I.O.U card to get a Bold at a later date. Anyways Boy Genius seems to have obtained an email stating the latest release date for RIM’s new 3G BlackBerry Bold 9000. It seems the Bold should arrive on October 27th and that the pricing is still unknown.

Apparently the issue that was holding the Bold back from releasing on AT&T has been fixed up and its all good to go! Stay tuned.

[Boy Genius Report]

A recent report done by research firm iSuppli shows that it costs RIM $169.41 to build each BlackBerry Bold. That’s quite a nice markup considering it costs $649.99 CAD with no contract from Rogers. The report says that materials for the Bold cost $158.16 and assembly and testing cost $11.25 bringing the total to $169.41. Another interesting fact is that the BlackBerry Curve only costs RIM $103.00 in materials. Gee I wonder how much the Pearl costs?

I know this is really late because Rogers’ Bold has been out for a while now but I had a chance to test one out for a few days. Because of the short time span I had with the device I didn’t write a review on it. I just took lots of pictures and tested out the browser and stuff. I will say though overall I was impressed with the design of the unit as it reminded me of my old BlackBerry 8800. I loved the leather back and the keyboard, which I found to be designed much like the 8800. Anyways here is a gallery of pictures: Continue Reading
