Seems that lots of leaks have been coming from RIM lately (not that we’re complaining!). A copy of RIM’s unreleased Facebook version 1.5 has been found of the internet for BlackBerry smartphones running OS 4.6 such as Bold, Curve 8900, Curve 8350i  and Pearl Flip. The new Facebook app should be launching officially soon but until then if you have one of the devices mentioned and want your fix feel free to download this file and install it via your Desktop Manager software.

If you installed this app let us know how it works by posting a comment!

Video of the BlackBerry Niagara 9630 Surfaces…

By James on Mar 15, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors, Videos.

Sunday night is slowing coming to an end and anyone who is bored might want to take a peak at this video. The video shows off the Niagara’s body and under the battery, however it seems the person was unable to get the device to boot up properly. The 9630 is running OS 4.7.1.10 which is a very early beta OS. No word on an expected release date just yet but stay tuned. Enjoy the video:

Details of BlackBerry 9900 – Touchscreen (Surepress) BlackBerry Bold

By James on Mar 14, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors.

rogers-blackberry-9900

There we go! Remember the touchscreen BlackBerry which was internally code-named “Pluto”? Well a new image has arrived with details about the device. The BlackBerry 9900 will be a touchscreen version of the Bold featuring a Surepress touchscreen like the Storm and will NOT have a trackball. It will sport a 3G radio and fast processor and will most likely run OS 5.0. Currently the device is slated to be released on Rogers in Q3 of 2009. Now if only we could get some live pictures of it :)

New Live Pictures of the BlackBerry Niagara 9630!!

By James on Mar 14, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Curve 8900 Series.

Kevin from CrackBerry has just obtained a couple new shots of the un-released CDMA BlackBerry code-named Niagara. If you don’t know about “Niagara” its the Bold/Curve 8900 crossover, which is expected to launch on most CDMA networks in North America later on this year. Finally we got to see the device up close including shots of the back. One thing I’m sad about is they decided not to put the leather back on this like the Bold. Maybe that will change?

First shots of BlackBerry Niagara 9630 – CDMA Bold/Curve 8900 Crossover!

CrackBerry has shown us the first live pictures of the heavely rumored BlackBerry Niagara. In case you don’t know what “Niagara” is it’s going to be the CDMA Bold/Curve combonation featuring a CDMA/EVDO Rev. A Radio with 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS and of course a full QWERTY keyboard. Apparently RIM might have cut plans to include Wi-Fi in this bad boy. The Niagara looks to be a mix of both the BlackBerry Bold and Curve 8900 “Javelin” to swing a bit of both worlds in there.

Two questions: Will RIM call this the Bold 9630? and who wants one even without Wi-Fi?
