By James on Nov 20, 2009 in BlackBerry, Featured News, Pearl 9100 Series, Rumors, Un-Released models.

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.

A new rumor is floating around the internet about two new version of BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service), which supposedly will launch early 2010.The first would be version 3.0 which will include enhanced updates for Google Synchronization, which is said to be launching in March 2010 (but we all know how RIM likes to be late). Shortly followed after that would be BIS version 3.1 which would bring even more new synchronization features including: Google Calendar, Hotmail Address Book, and Yahoo! Address Book syncing.

BIS 3.0 (March 2010):

  • Improved the Gmail plugin:
    • Synchronization deleted messages, read / unread and sent between the box and your own Gmail (so far worked only in the opposite direction)
    • The ability to add and remove labels from your device

BIS 3.1 (Soon after):

  • Synchronize Google Calendar
  • Synchronize your address book from Hotmail account
  • Synchronize your address book from Yahoo
  • Yahoo mailbox will cause an automatic download of Yahoo messenger on the device

    It’s no secret that the BlackBerry Curve 8530 is heading to Verizon, and now rumors have arrived that some Verizon stores have started to receive their accessories for the new Curve. It’s expected that Verizon will officially put the Curve 8530 on sale November 20th, therefore it only makes sense that accessories are starting to flow into stores now. Is anyone here interested in grabbing the new Curve with Wi-Fi and optical Trackpad from Verizon?

    TELUS branded BlackBerry Storm2 in the wild!

    By James on Nov 08, 2009 in BlackBerry, Canada, Featured News, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

    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.

    Is AT&T launching a White BlackBerry Curve 8900?

    By James on Nov 06, 2009 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Curve 8900 Series, Featured News, Rumors, USA.

    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.

    storm9550bestbuy

    Would you look at that… Best Buy USA’s mobile catalog shows the BlackBerry Storm2 9550 for Verizon. This catalog comes out on October 25th, which means that if the rumors have been true all along Verizon may be releasing it around that time. No word on pricing from Best Buy just yet. Looks like they also have a small misprint as well. The 2 is missing from Storm2. Doh!

    By James on Oct 21, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, Rumors, Telus.

    bb-bold-9700

    It only seems right after 4 of the major networks in North America confirmed they would be getting the new Bold, that TELUS did the same. Our friends over at MobileSyrup has confirmed that TELUS will be launching the new Bold 9700 to go hand and hand with their HSPA network next month. Unfortuantly there is no word on pricing yet, however earlier today Rogers did say when they launch the 9700 it will run you about $299 with three year term. Either way we still are yet to see an official press release from TELUS. Stay tuned when we do find one…
