Bell already offers OS update for BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230

By James on Mar 05, 2009 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Rumors.

Earlier today news broke that Bell was recalling some of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 smartphones they sold for an unknown reason. Well more details are now in. Apparently Bell has already released a new OS for the 8230 that is just days old. Originally the units shipped with OS 4.6.1.162 however Bell will be sending texts to people with this software version instructing them to upgrade to the newer OS 4.6.1.182. We aren’t really sure what this upgrade fixes but it must be something important. Rumor has it that TELUS delayed the launch of their Pearl Flip by a few days to fix a “small issue” so this would make perfect sense now.

Anyone with a Bell 8230 notice issues with their device??

    Bell running out of stock on BlackBerry Curve 8330 – raises price to $99.95

    By James on Feb 03, 2009 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Curve 8300 Series, Rumors.

    First there was a stock shortage on the BlackBerry Storm, now there seems to be one on the Curve 8330. According to Mobile Syrup, Bell has doubled their three year contract price in order to save a little stock on the BlackBerry Curve 8330. They have told employees to offer the free Pearl 8130 before showing the Curve due to the stock issues. So for now if you really want a Bell Curve you will have to dish out $99.95 for that three year term.

    By James on Dec 11, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Featured News, Storm 9500 Series.

Bell has decided to announce the availability of the BlackBerry Storm smartphone in select Bell locations (Toronto to start) with limited inventory rolling out nationwide Thursday. Bell decided to stick with the $249.95 with three year term or $699.95 without contract price point.

    By James on Dec 09, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

    We just received word that TELUS will be launching their BlackBerry Storm this week. After the fun party they held last night in Toronto it seems they are finally ready to launch it. Official pricing will remain at $249.99 with three year term or $599 outright. Apparently Bell will be launching their Storm on Monday so it looks like Canadians will be getting an early Christmas present after all.

    Update: Apparently only select stores are receiving the first round of stock. Shipments include the devices and selection of skins, chargers and replacement stuff like batteries and doors. Looks like they should be in store on Friday!

    Stay tuned for the latest BlackBerry Storm news.

    Bell releases Storm OS 4.7.0.76? but forgets to release device.

    By James on Dec 04, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Canada, RIM, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

    I know your probably thinking how and why? but apparently earlier today RIM released Bell’s version of OS 4.7.0.76 for the BlackBerry Storm by accident. This is great news thought as the OS version is higher than Verizon’s current OS. At the time of this post it seems that RIM has removed the link but we’ve got pics any with any luck an official release is just around the corner…

    It’s finally here! Verizon and RIM introduced the BlackBerry Storm 9530 World Edition to consumers today. If you visit your local Verizon store starting today you should be able to pick a Storm up for $199 with a two year term. Visit verizonwireless.com for details.

    Bell and TELUS to launch BlackBerry Storm at same time

    By James on Nov 17, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

    News have arrived that Bell managers received a email last week stating that they would be launching the BlackBerry Storm 9530 shortly after Verizon does. Verizon is expected to launch their Storm on November 21st. The interesting part about the email is that Bell is saying “Bell & Telus will receive the device for sale at the same time.”

    Bell requires all BlackBerry Storm quizzes to be cfompleted by December 5th. Therefore this could mean that the Storm will be available on both Canadian carriers around December 8th or so. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer…
