I was browsing OtterBox’s website last night only to discover that they have listed the Defender Case for Curve 8900 as coming soon. If you don’t know about OtterBox cases they are a highly durable, great impact case. OtterBox cases feature three layers of protection and a classic but durable plastic holster. Pricing is expected to be around $49.95 with a launch coming very soon. The 8900 Defender case should be available on both OtterBox.com and the BlackBerry Sync Store soon.

For now go and register at OtterBox.com to be notified upon their release.

We all know that RIM has been working on OS 5.0 for a while, but it finally looks like someone has leaked OS 5.0 for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and Curve 8900. These OS’ are extremely early beta copies and not designed for every day use. It’s recommended that this OS 5.0 should only be used for beta testing software. If you feel like testing out OS 5.0.0.90 on either of these devices make sure you do a full backup before installing.

Download OS 5.0.0.90 for BlackBerry Bold 9000 >

Download OS 5.0.0.90 for BlackBerry Curve 8900 >

With any luck we will see OS 5.0 launch early next month at RIM’s WES (Wireless Enterprise Symposum) 2009. Stay tuned…

OS 5.0 gets sneak peak on BlackBerry Curve 8900!

By James on Apr 07, 2009 in BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Curve 8900 Series, Rumors.

BlackBerry OS 5.0 is yet to be leaked on to the internet, but RIM has been busy testing it away on many of their current lineup. A fan over at CrackBerry managed to take a video showing off a version of OS 5.0 running on a BlackBerry Curve 8900. Apparently most BlackBerry devices including the Bold, Curve 8900 and the unreleased 9630 should all see their OS’ updated to 5.0. So stay tuned in the upcoming months for those to start getting leaked ;) then officially released.

And here’s a video to go along with it…

BlackBerry 9630 will be Niagara, the new Verizon World Edition BlackBerry

By James on Feb 28, 2009 in BlackBerry, Breaking News, Featured News, Rumors.

blackberryniagara

This one has me excited because I’ve always been a fan of my 8830 World Edition even though its been replaced by several newer models. Boy Genius got new details about the rumored BlackBerry Niagara, which in the past was rumored to be called Bold 9030 or 8930. Well it’s not going to be either according to one of BGR’s sources, the BlackBerry code-named Niagara will be modeled 9630 and seems it will pack tons of stuff except Wi-Fi. The Niagara is gurentueed to be a World Edition BlackBerry featuring CDMA EV-DO with Rev. A, Quad-band GSM with EDGE for roaming, 3.2 megapixel camera (with possibly a camera-less model), and OS 4.7.1 (maybe even 5.0 depending on the release date). Also the browser should be a little more updated to support Javescript 1.6 (that’s a little better)… As for a release date the source could not confirm that but with any luck at all you will see it around May or June on Verizon and possibly a few others? ;-)

BlackBerry Curve 8900 “Javelin” gets toren apart

By James on Feb 23, 2009 in BlackBerry, Curve 8900 Series.

blackberry_javelin_full

The guys at PhoneWreck sure are brave! Previously we saw them rip apart a Bold and Storm now it’s the BlackBerry Curve 8900. The team takes this 3G-less Curve apart piece by piece and show detailed pictures of the body and internal hardware. You can read their conclusion about the device below. I can tell you overall they gave it a 9/10 trackballs rating :) If you ever wondered what your Javelin looks like inside check out their review at PhoneWreck.com >

Here is their conclusion on the Curve 8900:

The Javelin doesn’t really have too many gripes rather than the flimsy battery cover and the lack of 3G.  We didn’t include the latter, because we understood RIM’s position in marketing this as an update to the Curve — because it is a Curve.  And in fact, the improvements to the browser make the lack of 3G much more bearable.  The tight, new form factor really has us drooling though.  It’s a great device to use, and definitely tops our list of favorites for the moment.  The Javelin presents a good alternative to the faux-leather backed bigger brother, and we’re very satisfied.  Enough chit-chat though, let’s get to the goods!
