By James on Apr 06, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors.

blackberry-logo-black

Oh how we love a bunch of good BlackBerry rumors! Boy Genius is reporting on three new BlackBerry models with some really odd internal code-names. The first three devices should all be part of the 9000 series family and be quite sweet. The first device is BlackBerry Onyx which is said to feature 3G with Wi-Fi, GPS and a high resolution display. Next is Driftwood which is could be a smaller version of Onyx featuring 3G, Wi-Fi with UMA support, GPS and a slightly smaller screen? Last we have BlackBerry Magnum which apparently Boy Genius has confirmed to be launching on AT&T sometime this year; Magnum is said to feature a 3G radio with GPS, Camera, Wi-Fi, full QWERTY keyboard and a high resolution (480×360) display.

The last rumor BGR is reporting on is the highly rumored BlackBerry Gemini. Well rumor has it its just one device its will be a whole lineup of low-end Curve devices. Apparently RIM is planning several refeshes to their lineups for the Curve, Bold and maybe even Pearl series. Interesting eh? Read More

By James on Mar 31, 2009 in BlackBerry, RIM, Rumors, WES 2009.

Our friends at BGR are reporting that WES (Wireless Enterprise Symposium) 2009 might show off some exciting new toys! First thing right off the bat is AT&T will finally be showing off the BlackBerry Curve 8900 aka Javelin after much delay. Not only that but RIM hopefully will formally announce the BlackBerry 9630 “Niagara” which is the new CDMA World Edition smartphone. As you may know the 9630 will take from both the Bold and Curve 8900 series to bring an all new design with tons of great features. BGR goes on to report that Canada may be the first to see the 9630 launch on presumally Bell and Telus late May, then followed by Verizon in June/July.

That’s most of the hardware related news for WES 2009. With any luck at all RIM won’t disappoint us this May. Oh and in case your wondering WES 2009 runs from May 5-7, 2009…

According to BusinessWeek the latest rumor on the street is that RIM’s co-CEO Mike Lazaridis will take stage at CTIA on April 1st and officially announce the launch of BlackBerry App World, which will offer consumers the ability to purchase tons of applications for their BlackBerry. This will allow RIM to go head to head with Apple’s App Store.

Prices for the BlackBerry App World will start at free then go to $2.99 USD all the way to $9.99 USD. Is anyone here excited to get App World up and running on their BlackBerry?

Thanks Paul for sending this in!

BlackBerry Media Sync gets updated w/ Windows Media Player Support

By James on Mar 25, 2009 in BlackBerry, Downloads, Software.

Today RIM released a new version of their BlackBerry Media Sync application for PC. The new update brings Windows Media Player syncing to the already popular software. This means that you can now sync either your iTunes or Windows Media playlists. Myself I really wish RIM would hurry up and finish the Mac software so I can start syncing my iTunes to my BlackBerry… Anyways anyone with Media Sync installed already will be asked to upgrade automatically. If you don’t have Media Sync yet download it at blackberry.com/mediasync.

A first look at Visual Voicemail for the BlackBerry Bold

By James on Jan 20, 2009 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors, USA.

As you may know Boy Genius never lets you down with the RIM leaks. He is now showing a first look at Visual Voicemail for AT&T’s BlackBerry Bold. AT&T will be introducing OS 4.6.0.219 sometime soon and with this update it should bring RIM’s new Visual Voicemail service with it. With any luck at all maybe RIM will bring this to other devices not just on AT&T. It would be sweet to have on the Storm! Anyways unfortunately he doesn’t have an exact release date but he does say be patient, it may be coming sooner than you think.

Leaked shots of BlackBerry Application Suite for Windows Mobile

By James on Dec 16, 2008 in BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Rumors.

It appears hell has frozen over. Looks like RIM is still working on their Windows Mobile Application Suite. This program will allow a Windows Mobile device such as the HTC Pro to run a version of RIM’s BlackBerry OS. Ronen from BerryReview scored some actual shots of an HTC Pro running RIM’s new Application Suite. This certainally kills the BlackBerry connect software, which was never really successful in RIM’s books. Anways Ronen seems to think that we may see this new software pop up really soon…

TELUS throws Storm launch party in Toronto!

By James on Dec 09, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Featured News, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

TELUS defiantly knows how to party. Last night they held a party where most of the large BlackBerry blogs got some sweet hands-on time with the Storm. Unfortunately we aren’t in Toronto are we would have got in on this. It seems that all TELUS demos were runnig OS 4.5.0.76 and it worked great. It seems that a launch from TELUS pretty much immendant their stock may be a little short. Seems it will launch before the holiday season, but tons of stock will arrive shortly after Christmas.

Also check out MobileSyrup’s video review of the TELUS Storm party:
