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.

An Evening With A Movie And A Raincheck.

By Susan C on Jul 25, 2009 in BlackBerry, Events, RIM, T-Mobile.

It was a date hosted by RIM for T-Mobile’s release of the BlackBerry 8520. The Boy Genius Report has a picture that a reader who won sent in. The event had some goodies, a giveaway which is delivered by mail, and the new movie Transformers 2. You have to love RIM, they know how to treat a date!

And some people wonder why we BlackBerry addicts appear to love our phones and pay more attention to them than our significant others, wonder why?

By James on Jul 01, 2009 in BlackBerry, Curve 8500 Series, T-Mobile, USA.

fcc-blackberry-curve-8520

Hmm looks like the Tour wasn’t the only thing to clear the FCC this week. The BlackBerry Curve 8520, formally known as the Gemini has cleared the FCC. This means that we could see a launch on T-Mobile USA almost anytime. In case you’re not familar with the 8520 its the new low end addition to the Curve family. It will feature Quad-band GSM with EDGE, Wi-Fi, GPS, 2.0 megapixel camera without flash, and RIM’s new Optical trackpad.

It looks like we will see this new device launch on T-Mobile soon. Apparently RIM is also working on a CDMA varriant which we might see in stores soon than later. If you want to check out the FCC documents for the Curve 8520 click here.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 “Gemini” Gets More Hands-On Treatment

By James on Jun 27, 2009 in BlackBerry, Curve 8500 Series.

bbcurve8520-tmo-pa

PhoneArena managed to get some hands-on time with the unreleased BlackBerry 8520, which according to the back of the device will be part of the Curve family. Overall the team at PhoneArena was fairly impressed with this new low end Curve. Just case you don’t know much about the Curve 8520 here’s a recap: The BlackBerry 8520 feautres a full QWERTY keyboard with dedicated media keys at the top of device, 2.0 megapixel camera with no flash, Wi-Fi, GPS and RIM’s new Optical trackpad. Here’s a quick excerpt from their overall thoughts on the device:

Overall the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a fine device for what it is.  It may not be the finest in fit and finish, but it brings the best Blackberry features to a low-end device.  The size and weight are good, the display is ample and the optical trackpad brings a bit of innovation.  RIM has some work to do on the Curve’s performance, but if they fix that we don’t see why this device won’t be very popular.

Check out all of PhoneArena’s review on the BlackBerry Curve 8520 here.

By James on Jun 15, 2009 in BlackBerry, Curve 8500 Series, Rumors, T-Mobile, USA.

branded-tmo-bb-gemini8520

Hmm look what has been caught in the wild! It’s an unreleased T-Mobile branded BlackBerry Curve 8520. The 8520 is also known as the Gemini and has been spotted many times before. From what we know the 8520 will be part of the low end BlackBerry family, possibly to replace the existing 8300 series. It’s been rumored to be coming on to T-Mobile in the way of Prepaid service, however nothing has been confirmed yet. This may be a low end berry but it does like slick. It features a 2.0 megapixel camera with no flash and only GSM with EDGE data, Wi-Fi, dedicated music keys on the top and RIM’s new Optical Trackpad for navigation. Not ETA on when the device will launch, although it’s thought to be launching  within the next few months.

Engadget got a hold of supposedly a leaked presentation showing off some upcoming BlackBerry devices. This presentation shows the highly rumored BlackBerry Magnum, Onyx, Pearl 3G and Gemini are all heading to AT&T this year. Now I’m not to sure if these slides are official or not. If AT&T did make these they should really look at how to properly type BlackBerry (not Blackberry). You can check out the slides below and here is a recap of the specs:

  • BlackBerry Magnum: Full QWERTY keyboard with touchscreen, Optical trackpad, 3G UMTS, HSDPA, Quadband GSM, Wi-Fi, GPS and HVGA display.
  • BlackBerry Oynx: 3G UMTS, HSDPA, Quadband GSM, HVGA Display with 480×360 resolution, trackball navigation, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS and Wi-Fi.
  • BlackBerry Pearl “Next Generation 3G Model”: 3G, UMTS, HSDPA, Quadband GSM, Suretype keyboard, trackball navigation and aGPS. No sign of Wi-Fi…
  • BlackBerry Gemini: Quadband GSM, QWERTY keyboard, Trackball (?) navigation, 2.0 megapixel camera with no flash, and media keys.
