First hands-on with BlackBerry Pearl2 9100 (Code-Name Stricker)

blackberry-pearl-striker-9100-main

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. Click read more below to see more pictures, and links to the previews.

casemate-fuel-89009630

A few months ago, We took a look at Case-Mate’s Fuel case/holster for the Bold 9000. Now Case-Mate has expanded their Fuel line-up for the BlackBerry Curve 8900, and soon to be followed by the Tour 9630. These defiantly aren’t your normal holsters.

TELUS branded BlackBerry Storm2 in the wild!

storm2-3

Well maybe its not really in the wild, but its in Canada! A couple new photos of the “unreleased” highly secret BlackBerry Storm 9550 for TELUS have leaked. The photos show the CDMA model 9550, sporting EVDO and Wi-Fi, not HSPA like some were hoping. Still no word on when this device is launching, but if you head to nearly any TELUS store you will notice the Storm2 ads inside. We can only assume it will be launching within the next few weeks (maybe November 24th?). Anyway so final confirmation says TELUS will be launching the 9550, not 9520, and it will be running OS 5.0.0.320. Keep checking back for more details when we get them.

24kt Gold BlackBerry Tour 9630

This isn’t the first Gold BlackBerry we’ve seen on the market, but it’s certainty the first Tour 9630. Computer Choppers is now offering a 24kt gold plated BlackBerry Tour for the low price of $899.99 USD. These guys have also gold platted the BlackBerry Bold 9000, Curve 8900 and iPhone 3G. Check out their site for some really cool product (if you love gold). If gold isn’t really your thing they can also do the Tour in chrome, copper, or platinum.

Anyone here want a Golden Tour?

Is AT&T launching a White BlackBerry Curve 8900?

curve-8900-white

Looks like AT&T may be getting ready to launch a white colored BlackBerry Curve 8900 soon. This is the first we’ve heard or seen of a White 8900, but it would only make sense. A new tip received over at BGR shows the White 8900 in an AT&T advertisement. The tipster didn’t have any release dates, or pricing, but I’m sure we can except it to launch soon. So question for you the readers… What do you think of the new White BlackBerry models? First the Bold, now the Curve.

BlackBerry Storm 2 with Wi-Fi coming to Verizon this September?

blackberry-storm-sidebyside

Honestly I can not see them upgrading the Storm just yet when they haven’t even perfected the current one. A new rumor is floating around (via Slashgear) that RIM and Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 2 later this year with Wi-Fi capabilities. It’s no lie that both RIM and its parterned carriers have been tormented because of the lack of Wi-FI but I just can not see them putting a CDMA + GSM + Wi-Fi into the same unit. It just sounds fishy. Anyway take this rumor with a grain of salt but it might be nice if it were true.
