It’s not like we didn’t know, but a Verizon ninja has confirmed that both the BlackBerry Curve 8530 and Storm 2 (9550), will come to Verizon before the end of this year. Looks like it will start with the anticapted BlackBerry Storm 2 (model 9550) will launch roughly in October for an unknown cost. Following the Storm will be the Curve 2 (model 8530) which should arrive late November, just in time for Christmas. Cost is also unknown for the 8530. Stay tuned for more details when they arrive.

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.

logo-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.

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…

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.

IDC Confirms What We All Know, BlackBerry Rules!

By Susan C on Aug 08, 2009 in AT&T (Cingular), Alltel, BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Curve 8300 Series, Curve 8900 Series, Pearl 8100 Series, Sprint-Nextel, Storm 9500 Series, T-Mobile, USA, Verizon.

blackberry-vs-iphone[1]

The Research and Consulting firm, IDC, listed the top-selling smartphone models in the US. It lists vendor sales to carriers and channels as well. So far it’s going on preliminary data. The actual numbers won’t be available till the end of the month. So let’s see what the firm says so far.

No 10 is the HTC Touch from Sprint, Nextel, and Verizon Wireless.

No 9 is the HTC Touch Pro from Sprint, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and others.

No 8 is the Palm Pre from Sprint.

No 7 is the T-Mobile G1 by HTC from T-Mobile USA.

No 6 is the Research In Motion BlackBerry Storm from Verizon Wireless.

No 5 is the Research In Motion BlackBerry Bold from AT&T.

No 4 is the Apple iPhone 3G (both versions) from AT&T.

No 3 is the Research In Motion BlackBerry Pearl (all 81xx series, excluding the Flip) from AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and others.

No 2 is the Apple iPhone 3GS (both versions) from AT&T.

No 1 is the Research In Motion BlackBerry Curve (83xx series and 8900) from AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, and others.

So what does that say? Research In Motion rules the smartphone world, and the BlackBerry Curve is still holding the number one position. I’m not surprised, though I’m very curious to see how the numbers change with the BlackBerry Tour 9630 entering the smartphone scene. I really like the Tour, it’s been very reliable, and I’m curious to see if it will rise to the top or come pretty close.

Anyone have any thoughts to share?
