Rogers did confirm that they will be launching the new flip BlackBerry Pearl 8220. However they now have a website setup called YouAskedForIt.ca which will allow you to register and be notified when Rogers officially launches the new Pearl.

It’s expected that Rogers will launch the new Pearl Flip sometime this month or early next month (October). Pricing has not been confirmed, but its expected to be around $150 with three year contract.

Where should I start with this article posted today by the Globe and Mail…

The article published in Today’s paper talks about RIM’s new Pearl Flip as a game changer for the North American market. Then they started talking about RIM’s upcoming first touch screen BlackBerry. According to the Globe and Mail RIM will release the BlackBerry Thunder and also a “a second device which features both a touch-screen interface as well as a slide-out QWERTY keypad [...] known as Storm” anyone else think thats weird? We do know that RIM filed a patent a long time ago for a slide-out keyboard, however the Storm will NOT be this device. Continue Reading

First it was a unreleased BlackBerry Bold, now its a unreleased BlackBerry Javlein that the folks over at CrackBerry got their hands on. The BlackBerry Javelin will be pretty much the Curve replacement. It will not be a 3G smartphone, but will sport a 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, 256MB onboard internal memory, micro USB connection, high resolution display, Wi-Fi and a much thinner design.

Leave it to Boy Genius to get his hands on the new BlackBerry OS 5.0, which we will see eventually. It doesn’t look like there is too many new features except the clock application (similar to the Bold) and a file manager. OS 5.0 will be available for the BlackBerry Curve and maybe a few other models.

So far we have seen both Red and Black in RIM’s new BlackBerry Pearl 8220, now RIM will be adding Silver to the collection. Silver brings a very nice professional touch in my opinion. We are not sure who will be launching this new color just yet, but most likely you will see it on both T-Mobile and Rogers.

Honestly I really hope not, but the latest report in from a leaked AT&T document shows the BlackBerry Bold ETA is November now. Other news from AT&T on this report shows the new dark blue Curve 8320 will be launching on October 21st, Pink Pearl launches October 2nd, and the Burnt Orange model has be delayed until 2009.

I should point out as well that Boy Genius clearly says he is sticking firm to the October 2nd release date. So Keep checking back for the latest BlackBerry Bold in the United States updates…

YES! It’s finally online. After a very long wait (well not really..) Verizon has put the BlackBerry Storm 9530 coming soon page online. You can register to be notified when the Storm is available for purchase. Unfortunately no pricing or launch dates are listed on the page. Let’s all still pray for a November 1st launch. We’re also still waiting for official news from RIM about the device as well.

UPDATE: It looks like Verizon has taken down the page. Maybe RIM wants Verizon to wait until they officially announce it? Stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE 2: Here is a higher quaility version of the internal video released by Verizon. See it here.
