Looks like Verizon will jump on board with Bell and TELUS with the inventory leaks. The BlackBerry Tour 9630 is now listed in Verizon’s inventory database as “BB9630TR” which means its just one step closer to release! Anyway that’s all that we know so far, but its certainly good news for Verizon customers who has been patiently waiting. Now sit back while we try and get some official launch dates on the go…

Did Storm OS 4.7.0.141 Fail Internal Testing? Most likely.

By James on May 11, 2009 in BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

verizon-logo

Late last month it was rumored that Verizon was getting ready to launch OS 4.7.0.141 for the BlackBerry Storm. Latest word on the block is that the OS actually failed testing by the Big Red (aka Verizon). Apparently .141 was full of little bugs and too many glitches still occur. Last thing we heard is that RIM will not be releasing anymore 4.7 releases for carriers to test because their getting ready for OS 5.0 roll out. So looks like Verizon customers might be stuck loading on leaked OS’ until an official one comes. Stay tuned for more details…

BlackBerry Tour 9630 hitting Verizon – Week of July 13th!!

By James on May 07, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series, USA, Verizon.

Warning! Before reading this keep in mind that the dates may change. Boy Genius Report claims several ninjas have reported that Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry 9630 Tour during the week of July 13th. Now it hasn’t only been BGR to confirm this rumor but a well known ninja on HowardForums has also confirmed this date. So either way we know its coming to Verizon and its only a matter of time so please be patient.

Meanwhile if any ninjas out there could confirm some Canadian release dates for the 9630 that would be awesome!

BlackBerry Storm 2 with Wi-Fi coming to Verizon this September?

By James on Apr 07, 2009 in BlackBerry, Featured News, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

blackberry-storm-sidebyside

Honestly I can not see them upgrading the Storm just yet when they haven’t even perfected the current one. A new rumor is floating around (via Slashgear) that RIM and Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 2 later this year with Wi-Fi capabilities. It’s no lie that both RIM and its parterned carriers have been tormented because of the lack of Wi-FI but I just can not see them putting a CDMA + GSM + Wi-Fi into the same unit. It just sounds fishy. Anyway take this rumor with a grain of salt but it might be nice if it were true.

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? ;-)

    Verizon BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 in the wild!

    By James on Feb 03, 2009 in BlackBerry, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Rumors, USA, Verizon.

    verizonpearlflip

    In case you haven’t seen it floating around the internet yet, someone got a hold of a Verizon branded BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230. Just a few weeks ago we reported that TELUS will be the first in Canada to launch the flip BlackBerry and it seems that Verizon will be jumping aboard for the United States. If Verizon plans to launch it around the same time as TELUS then you should see it sometime this month. Stay tuned for more details when they arrive…

    He fought to keep his personal BlackBerry in the White House and now President Obama has got an upgrade. A new article over at CIO.com pointed out that the President is now rocking a Verizon BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, instead of his old trusty 8700 model. All I can say is what Storm not reliable enough for you Mister President? haha.
