BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0, It’s Here With The Tour and Ready!

By Susan C on Jul 17, 2009 in BlackBerry, Software, Tour 9600 Series.

bbdesktopmanager5point0[1]

There were a few surprises with the Tour, one being the Desktop Manager 5.0. This is the newest and latest BlackBerry Desktop Manager. We saw the manual how to use the 5.0 version, and we’re sharing it with you. The User Guide includes Connections, Backup and Restore, Email Settings, Device switched wizard, Abbreviation list, and legal notice.

In looking at it, I know the software that comes with the phone leaves a lot of questions. It’s a wonderful thing that Blackberry has the manuals and tutorials on their site to help you get through it and learn. I’ll have to try it out and let you know what I think of it, as the current version I’m using is v4.6, not 4.7. That version seems to work best for my Curve. Now the BDM isn’t available on RIM’s website yet for download, but give it time.

So check out the BlackBerry Desktop Manager v5.0 manual and see what you think.

BlackBerry Tour 9630 OtterBox Cases – Coming Soon!

By James on Jul 14, 2009 in Accessories, BlackBerry, Tour 9600 Series.

blackberry-tour-otterbox

I was checking in with my friends over at OtterBox, only to see that they’ve got some Tour cases coming soon! Looks like OtterBox plans on launching both the Impact Case (skin) and Defender Case for the new BlackBerry Tour 9630. The Impact Case (pictured left) is an alternative to RIM’s silicon case. It features more protection and a more wrap like feeling. It’s expected to be priced at $19.95.  The Defender Case (pictured right) will be the ultimate protection for the Tour, offering three layers of protection, plus a durable holster. Both items are expected to launch soon and will be available in our store. It’s expected to be priced at $49.95.

Wrap your BlackBerry® Tour™ 9600 series in this protective silicone case and head around the world. More than just a simple silicone skin, the Impact Series™ case offers added protection from bump and shock by adding inner coring to dissipate impact away from the device. All buttons, functions, and ports are fully accessible through this case, and it looks great wrapped around your BlackBerry Tour. It includes a self-adhering screen protector to protect your screen from scratches and smudges.

The OtterBox Defender Series™ for the BlackBerry® Tour™ 9600 series offers rugged protection for your smartphone. The Defender Series case will keep your phone protected from drops, bumps, dust and shock. All features, keys and ports are accessible through the case, providing you with a unique, interactive safeguard. Included with this case is a holster style swivel belt clip.

If you want to register to be notified when they launch visit OtterBox.com.

The BlackBerry Speaker Test – Comparing Tour, Bold, Storm, Curve 8900

By James on Jul 13, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Curve 8900 Series, Storm 9500 Series, Tour 9600 Series.

Here is a great video which Ronen from BerryReview found. This video compares all the latest BlackBerry models (Curve 8900, Bold, Storm 9530, and Tour 9630) and their speakers to see which one sounds the best. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video quite like this, the creator rates them side by side using the same music demo. It appears that the Bold may still have the best speaker, followed by the hot new Tour. Check out the video for youself and let us know what you think…

Telus BlackBerry Tour 9630 shows up on Best Buy site for $229/3YR

By James on Jul 07, 2009 in BlackBerry, Canada, Telus, Tour 9600 Series.

blackberry-tour-bestbuy-telus copy

I seem to remember something like this happening with the BlackBerry Storm previously. Best Buy’s Canadian site is now showing the Telus BlackBerry Tour for $229 with three year contract. It currently says that this product is only available in store, and no stores are showing them in stock. This might be a very good sign of things to come over to the next week or so. Check out BestBuy’s site if you’re curious. Be aware it might disappear though.

Thanks for the tip Tedward!

PhoneMag’s take on the BlackBerry Tour 9630 from Verizon

By James on Jul 02, 2009 in BlackBerry, Tour 9600 Series, USA, Verizon.

BlackBerry-Tour-PhoneMag-30-r3media

I know by now some of your might be getting sick of all the hands-on reviews of the BlackBerry Tour, but just think soon enough you will be able to get your own! Until then here is another hands-on review by the team at PhoneMag. In their review they have included some great pictures and a video review for you to enjoy. My favorite is they finish off the review with this line “If a hardware keyboard is a must, then the BlackBerry Tour may just be Verizon’s best device.” which sounds very promising for the Big Red carrier, also known as Verizon. So take a second and browse the review, drool and then post a comment and let us know how bad you want one…
