By James on Aug 21, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Software.

blackberry-desktop-manager-mac-11

Woot! Was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this morning. Boy Genius got his hands on a pre-release version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac. While it should be available from RIM shortly, Boy Genius is showing us what its packing. Apparently DTM for Mac runs way better than the version for Windows computers, but one of the biggest set backs is that this application will only be able to install OS’ released by RIM, due to no installation files being available for OS X. Anyway check out the full preview here.

Rumor: Verizon launching OS 4.7.1.42 for BlackBerry Tour?

By James on Aug 19, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series, USA, Verizon.

Boy Genius has received a tip that they aren’t too sure about… Apparently the tip says that Verizon will be releasing an updated OS for the BlackBerry Tour, however it seems like a very minor update. The OS which the tipster claims Verizon will release is 4.7.1.42 compared to the .40 that ships on the device. Apparently the last known internally tested OS at RIM was 4.7.1.58, so we are hoping that Verizon releases something a little newer… But I guess all we can do is sit back and wait.

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.

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?

BlackBerry Bluetooth Watch Coming Soon? Hoax? Maybe?

By James on Aug 11, 2009 in Accessories, BlackBerry, Rumors.

blackberry-watch

I’m not really one for watches but a rumor is floating around the internet. Apparently RIM may soon introduce a Bluetooth watch which would give alerts on new messages, phone calls and reminders from your BlackBerry. It may also supports stereo Bluetooth to play media from your device. RIM will not be the first to introduce a Bluetooth watch, Sony Ericsson introduced one a year or two ago, which was co-designed by Fossil. Anyway we will keep an eye out for official information from RIM, stay tuned.

UPDATE: Turns out this may just be a hoax. Last year there was rumors that the Sony Ericsson watch may be configured someday to work with BlackBerry.

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.

Guess what’s spotted in Vodafone Germany’s inventory? The heavily rumored, don’t post a picture of RIM will kill you… BlackBerry Storm 2. This hopefully means that the Storm 2 is starting to enter inventory databases around the World. The Storm 2 will for sure be the next generation in the Storm family sporting RIM’s upgraded Surepress touch screen and Wi-Fi. No one seems to have any word on pricing or exact launch details yet, but its expected to land on many networks across the World this October-November.
