Latest word on AT&T’s Bold release date

By James on Oct 17, 2008 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, USA.

As you may have read AT&T held a launch party in New York City the other night and basically didn’t have any Bold’s on hand to actually give out. Instead they gave everyone a I.O.U card to get a Bold at a later date. Anyways Boy Genius seems to have obtained an email stating the latest release date for RIM’s new 3G BlackBerry Bold 9000. It seems the Bold should arrive on October 27th and that the pricing is still unknown.

Apparently the issue that was holding the Bold back from releasing on AT&T has been fixed up and its all good to go! Stay tuned.

It costs $169.41 to build a BlackBerry Bold…

By James on Oct 16, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, RIM.

A recent report done by research firm iSuppli shows that it costs RIM $169.41 to build each BlackBerry Bold. That’s quite a nice markup considering it costs $649.99 CAD with no contract from Rogers. The report says that materials for the Bold cost $158.16 and assembly and testing cost $11.25 bringing the total to $169.41. Another interesting fact is that the BlackBerry Curve only costs RIM $103.00 in materials. Gee I wonder how much the Pearl costs?

Hands-on photos of BlackBerry Bold

By James on Oct 12, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, RIM, Reviews, Rogers.

I know this is really late because Rogers’ Bold has been out for a while now but I had a chance to test one out for a few days. Because of the short time span I had with the device I didn’t write a review on it. I just took lots of pictures and tested out the browser and stuff. I will say though overall I was impressed with the design of the unit as it reminded me of my old BlackBerry 8800. I loved the leather back and the keyboard, which I found to be designed much like the 8800. Anyways here is a gallery of pictures: Read More

Orange dropping BlackBerry Bold, too many issues?

By James on Oct 10, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, International Networks, RIM, Rumors.

It is rumored that UK cell carrier Orange has dropped the BlackBerry Bold from their lineup due to quailty issues. Apparently there is a internal memo floating around stating that they will not continue to offer RIM’s Bold until RIM has fixed the known issues with it. Maybe they are getting a bouncing 3G signal as well? Cause as you may know AT&T still has not released the device in the United States due to extensive testing…

Safe mode hidden in BlackBerry Bold

By James on Oct 10, 2008 in BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Bold 9000 Series, Tips n' Tricks.

Looks like you don’t have to wait for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin) to run safe mode on your BlackBerry. Apparently the newer version of OS 4.6 for the BlackBerry Bold will be featuring safe mode. What this means is if your running a third party application and it causes your BlackBerry OS to die you can boot it into safe mode and fix it (think Windows).

To activate safe mode:

1. Remove and reinsert the battery
2. Wait for the red LED light to go out when that happens HOLD the escape (back) key.
3. When dialog appears asking you to enter safe mode select yes
