Introducing OtterBox Impact case for Bold

By James on Nov 04, 2008 in Accessories, BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series.

By now most of you have seen us talk about OtterBox’s protective cases for smartphones. We got word today that OtterBox has released their new Impact Case for the BlackBerry Bold. Just last month OtterBox released their Defender series case for the Bold which brings the most protection (see them in the BBSync Store).

“This thin, skin-like design offers your BlackBerry Bold protection against bump and shock. All buttons, ports and functions are accessible right through the case, and the inner corners are designed to dissipate impact AWAY from your device. Also, the OtterBox for BlackBerry Bold Impact Series has an ergonomic design that your hands will love to be wrapped around!”

If your a fan of the new Impact case for the Bold you can pick it up at OtterBox.com for $19.99 USD.

Another BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin) Video

By James on Oct 27, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Curve 8900 Series, RIM, Rogers, Rumors, Videos.

Mobile Syrup managed to get their hands on a pre-production BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin). This second edition Curve is expected to hit Rogers later this year or early 2009. Check out their video review and see what they think of this hot new Curve.

The Curve 8900 features OS 4.7 similar to the BlackBerry Bold, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, Wi-Fi, large high resolution 480×360 display and GPS. Basically its a smaller verison of the Bold without the 3G part. Enjoy the video!

Live BlackBerry Storm Pics from BBDC 08′

By James on Oct 23, 2008 in BlackBerry, Developer Conf 08', Storm 9500 Series.

Our buddy Simon from IntoMobile managed to get his hands on a live BlackBerry Storm during the Developers Conference this week. He snapped a few pictures showing off the size and compared it to his BlackBerry Bold. You can see all the pics at IntoMobile. This will have to hold us off until we get our hands on one next month (hopefully)…

Rogers 2009 BlackBerry Lineup!

By James on Oct 20, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, Curve 8900 Series, Rogers, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

We missed this one over the weekend. Boy Genius has released Rogers’ 2009 Blackberry lineup! Its filled with one new device every quarter and it will all start off with the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (formally known as Javelin) in Q1 then followed by a BlackBerry Storm varriant in Q2, BlackBerry “Magnum” (Curve 8900 with 3G) for Q3 and last but not least the BlackBerry Pluto (Bold-like device with touchscreen) for Q4 of 2009. Keep in mind they most likely won’t be getting the internal names and call the devices Magnum and Pluto. Also we should expect to see several new devices at WES (Wireless Enterprise Symposium) 2009 :-).

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.

If you want a little tease to hold you over check out over gallery for the BlackBerry Bold >>

RIM working on Palm Treo killer next?

By James on Oct 17, 2008 in BlackBerry, RIM, Rumors, Un-Released models.

Boy Genius plans to keep everyone jumpy until WES 2009. Seems BG got a tip that RIM is working on a Storm-like Bold-like design. Apparently RIM will be showing off at WES 2009 (I know its a long ways away) this new touch screen model which is similar to the Bold and upcoming Curve 8900 (Javelin). It will compete directly with Palm’s touch screen models. So because this is very early information no official codename or model is known. Check out his mock up of this Treo Berry like device. Now I guess its time to sit back and wait for more details…

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?
