It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the next generation BlackBerry Pearl (code-named Stratus and/or Striker). But today today two different sites leaked details on this hot un-released device! Both CrackBerry and Salomondrin got hands-on time with the new Pearl2. Basically this device will feature an optical trackpad (like most new BlackBerry devices), of course Suretype QWERTY keyboard, along with a more BlackBerry Bold2/Storm2 kind of style. It’s going to be really small, and really thin, and it almost makes me want to use a Pearl again. We’ve heard the Pearl2 will come in both a 3G and CDMA model for markets across the World, although nothing is confirmed as of now.

Boy Genius obtained some screen shots of Rogers’ internal upgrading system, which shows both devices listed. It’s not known when either of the devices will be available, or even pricing at this time. We think both devices should launch late this month or early next… Stay tuned for confirmation.

By James on Sep 08, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors, Un-Released models.

BlackBerryOnyxTMo

Al Sacco over at CIO, scored an interesting picture from T-Mobile today. Looks like T-Mobile decided to “accidentally” share the first press shots of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, aka Onyx. This hot new addition to the Bold family is set to feature a hotter QWERTY keyboard, trackpad navigation, and an overall compact more design. It seems that Al Sacco did not receive an official NDA from T-Mobile before sharing the picture. Lucky! Anyway check out the blurp from the T-Mo PR rep:

“The BlackBerry ‘Onyx’ sports a premium experience and design with a high-gloss black finish and leather grain detail on the back. Boasting features such as high-speed 3G Web browsing, Wi-Fi calling, visual voicemail and support for corporate and personal e-mail options, the ‘Onyx’ will satisfy all your on-the-go needs. Also the phone comes preloaded with mobile applications from BlackBerry App World, including Amazon MP3 store for quick and easy music downloads and TeleNav GPS Navigator for turn-by-turn directions.”

Unfortunately no actual release was shared, however its expected to launch late this year. Pricing and the official release shall come soon… Stay tuned.

Confirmation of sorts has arrived that Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry Curve 8530, in two colors. The folks at BerryScoop have recevied a image of Verizon’s inventory system showing off the the two skus. Verizon will get the 8530 in both Black and Lavender. The skus are only for dummy (display) phones, so we don’t have any official word on pricing or even a launch date yet. Stay tuned for more info when we get it…

BlackBerry Storm 2 “Odin” gets hands-on Video Review

By James on Aug 16, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Un-Released models, Videos.

bbstorm2-video

Once again Twitter/Youtube member Salomondrin has released a new video showing off the un-released BlackBerry Storm 2. The Storm 2 in the review has older software on it, and doesn’t show off the Wi-Fi which the Storm 2 will pack. After watching this seven minute video we didn’t really learn anything new, but its sweet to see another one live in action. Apparently the Storm 2 will run 100 times better than the current version, the Surepress is still there its just been made better. Watch the video below and let us know what you think… Will you check out the Storm 2?

Oh and Yes... This is a CDMA version (it just has an unlocked sim card slot). You will see this device on Verizon, Bell and TELUS.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 “Onyx” Found in Bell’s Inventory!

By James on Aug 14, 2009 in Bell, BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, Rumors, Telus, Un-Released models.

Forget about the Tour! Looks what a Bell ninja found in Bell’s inventory system… It’s a HSPA BlackBerry listed as the Bold 9700. Do you know which model we’re talking about? It’s the BlackBerry Onyx. Looks like Bell’s plans to move into HSPA are moving along quite nice, with a launch expected by the end of the year. It’s still way to early to talk about pricing, but its sweet to know that Bell is working on getting the Onyx. Now where is Rogers and TELUS?

By James on Aug 11, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors, T-Mobile, USA, Un-Released models.

CrackBerry Kevin has got some serious luck. Back before the Curve 8900 was released he managed to spot three of them in an Airport in NYC, while traveling. This time around Kevin managed to spot a T-Mobile branded BlackBerry 9700 on his way home from vacation. Seriously? That’s some luck. Anyway as you can see the T-Mobile branded 9700 is running on OS 5.0.0.169. Kevin says the device feels very solid and production ready… Maybe that means we will see a launch very soon? Stay tuned.
