Bell has officially rolled out their new HSPA network across Canada, and with that launch came two new BlackBerry smartphones. Bell has launched the classic BlackBerry Bold 9000, as well the new Bold 9700. Both should be available in stores starting today. Pricing starts $249 with three year term for the Bold 9000, and $229 with three year term for the Bold 9700. Something seems a little odd with the Bold 9000 pricing, as its listed higher than the new Bold. Stay tuned we’re looking into that. Meanwhile check out all the details and plans at Bell.ca.

It’s been rumored for a while, but Boy Genius has officially confirmed that Bell will be launching the BlackBerry Bold 9700 this November. Bell plans to launch the Bold 9700, along with several other high-end devices (Bold 9000, iPhone 3G/3GS, Omina 2) with their new HSPA network. Bell is said to be switching on their HSPA network early November, and shipments of the new Bold 9700 start October 30th. This is awesome news for fellow Canadians… Now I wonder when and what TELUS will be launching?

The BlackBerry Speaker Test – Comparing Tour, Bold, Storm, Curve 8900

By James on Jul 13, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Curve 8900 Series, Storm 9500 Series, Tour 9600 Series.

Here is a great video which Ronen from BerryReview found. This video compares all the latest BlackBerry models (Curve 8900, Bold, Storm 9530, and Tour 9630) and their speakers to see which one sounds the best. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video quite like this, the creator rates them side by side using the same music demo. It appears that the Bold may still have the best speaker, followed by the hot new Tour. Check out the video for youself and let us know what you think…

Something interesting was found in the latest leak of OS 5.0 for the BlackBerry Bold. OS version 5.0.0.110 seems to be packing an interesting feature. It appears RIM might be planning to put their popular SureType predictive text system into their full QWERTY BlackBerry models such as Bold, and possibly even the Tour? Previously SureType was only found on the Pearl family and the Storm. RIM’s SureType system basically allows you to press less keys to highlight you most commonly used words. Check out the full video to understand…
