Our friends at OtterBox made a some what quiet product launch this week. OtterBox has just introduced the Impact Series Case for the BlackBerry Curve 8520. Think of the Impact Series to be a enhanced version of RIM’s silicon skin, but with way more protection. The Impact Skin wraps around your Curve leaving only the screen and keyboard open. It’s a great case for those on the go who don’t want to carry a huge case.

Wrap your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 in this protective silicone case. More than just a simple silicone skin, the Impact™ Series case offers added protection from bump and shock by adding inner coring to dissipate impact away from the device. All buttons, functions, and ports are fully accessible through this case, and it looks great wrapped around your BlackBerry Curve 8520. It includes a self-adhering screen protector to protect your screen from scratches and smudges.

Pick one up at OtterBox.com for $19.95 >

I just got a great tip via email, that even I didn’t notice. If you head over to RIM’s product page for the newly announced BlackBerry Curve 8520 you’ll notice something quite interesting. It says that the BlackBerry Curve 8520 will support Mac computers out of the box. This means that anyone (such as myself) who was been desperately waiting for RIM to release BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac has a smile on their face. If all goes as planned T-Mobile USA should be launching the 8520 around August 5th, meaning we should be able to download DTM for Mac shortly after that. Keep chekcing in for more details when we get ‘em.

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…
