By James on Nov 14, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Hot Deals, Pearl 8100 Series, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Rogers, Telus, Virgin Mobile.

The Holiday Shopping season is now starting in full swing. The competitive pricing on BlackBerry smartphones is here. Both Bell and TELUS both now have their popular BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for $0 with three year term and Rogers is offering their new BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 for only $24.99 with three year term as well.

Let’s take a quick peak into the deals between the big three and see who is winning.

Bell: Currently offering Pearl 8130 for $0 (in four colors) and Curve 8330 for $99 (two colors) with three year terms.

TELUS: Currently offering the same pricing as Bell. Free Pearl 8130 (choice of 5 colors) and $99 Curve 8330 (choice of 3 colors) with three year terms.

Rogers: Currently offering Pearl Flip for $24.99 (choice of two colors), Curve 8320 (one color) for $99, Bold 9000 for $199, Pearl 8110 or 8120 for $49, Curve 8310 (three colors) for $99 all with three year terms.

Virgin Mobile: Currently only offering the Pearl 8130 in one color for $0 with three year term. Should be offering the Curve 8330 sometime this month as well.

Then of course if you wait just a little bit you should be able to pick up a BlackBerry Storm 9530 from either Bell or TELUS for an unknown price..

After you pick up your new BlackBerry smartphone head on over to The BlackBerry Sync Store and get it setup with hot new accessories and software!

Another BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin) Video

By James on Oct 27, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Curve 8900 Series, RIM, Rogers, Rumors, Videos.

Mobile Syrup managed to get their hands on a pre-production BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin). This second edition Curve is expected to hit Rogers later this year or early 2009. Check out their video review and see what they think of this hot new Curve.

The Curve 8900 features OS 4.7 similar to the BlackBerry Bold, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, Wi-Fi, large high resolution 480×360 display and GPS. Basically its a smaller verison of the Bold without the 3G part. Enjoy the video!

Rogers 2009 BlackBerry Lineup!

By James on Oct 20, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, Curve 8900 Series, Rogers, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

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 :-).

Is Rogers getting the BlackBerry Storm?

By James on Oct 16, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Rogers, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

Yesterday BBCool broke news about Rogers possibly getting the BlackBerry Storm 9500 before Christmas. When they called into Rogers Customer Service the rep claims that they will be receiving a touch screen BlackBerry for the Christmas season. Usually Rogers CSR’s are contracted out and don’t have a clue whats going on. So we highly doubt that Rogers will be getting a BlackBerry Storm this year and the folks over at BGR have pointed out why… Read More

Hands-on photos of BlackBerry Bold

By James on Oct 12, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, RIM, Reviews, Rogers.

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: Read More
