BlackBerry Bold 9790 will be available as a SIM-free option in the UK starting on January 9
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9790
Last month, we reported that RIM’s BlackBerry Bold 9790 was expected to become available in the UK sometime in January, following its scheduled release in Indonesia and Singapore this month, but we’ve been in the dark on an exact date to that reality.
Fortunately, UK consumers are now given a clear date of January 9th – that’s when the SIM-free version of the latest Bold handset is expected to become available for purchase in the good old UK. Interested in picking up this one? Well, retailer MobileFun will begin accepting orders for the smartphone on that date, where it’s given a price tag of £399.95 ($624). Indeed, it’s rather pricey to say the least, but considering it’s a SIM-free version...

Leaked BlackBerry Torch 9810 OS includes mobile hotspot
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryTorch 9810
Following up on the recent leak of a BlackBerry Bold 9900 OS with a new mobile hotspot feature, another build for the BlackBerry Torch 9810 has recently found its way into the wild. After sideloading it through the BlackBerry desktop software, you would be able to share your HSPA+ connection with up to 5 nearby gadgets over Wi-Fi, which is something most smartphones have been doing for years now, but RIM’s still playing catch-up.
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 launched over the summer on AT&T, and the AWS-compatible version recently found its way to Wind Mobile, Mobilicity, and T-Mobile. It’s fairly high-end by RIM’s standards, even though the exterior of the device looks pretty much identical to...

BlackBerry Bold 9790 Indonesia debut makes iPhone-style riot
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9790
The launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 in Indonesia's capital of Jakarta on Friday gave RIM a rare Apple-like level of demand that also took an unfortunate turn. A report from the event through the Jakarta Globe had up to 90 people face minor injuries like broken bones after a crush and queue jumping triggered by a rumor spread that the Pacific Place Mall store wouldn't have enough of the new smartphone to supply everyone. As many as 200 public and private security officers had to step in to restore order.
The country has been friendlier to the BlackBerry as a whole than most parts of the world, where Apple and Google's Android are taking over, but it triggered the queuing more commonly asso...

BlackBerry Curve 9380 now on Telus
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9380
After appearing in the Telus winter catalog earlier this month, the BlackBerry Curve 9380 is now shipping from the Canadian carrier. The 3.2-inch all-touch smartphone is priced at $49.99 with a three-year contract or $369.99 without one, and the Telus and BlackBerry sites confirm its 480 x 360 screen, 806MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and 5-megapixel camera. Sadly, the Telus version of the 9380 only comes with 512MB of internal storage, not 1GB as previously announced, although it does include a 2GB microSD card.

BlackBerry Curve 9380 hits the FCC, talking the T-Mobile talk
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryT-MobileCurve 9380
RIM's first all-screen Curve has sashayed over to the FCC. Two models of the BlackBerry Curve 9380, the REA70UW and REB70UW, are included in the latest filing, which goes into typical laborious detail on radio frequencies and the like. Thankfully, those myriad charts and graphs reveal support for WCDMA band IV, meaning that the phone plays nice with T-Mobile's 3G network. Let's just hope that, if given the chance to strut its stuff in the US market, it follows the Curve family tradition of arriving keenly priced. We'll have to wait and see if it hits our wallet's sweet spot, but for those more interested in the phone's internals, the source link beckons below.

RIM Unveils The BlackBerry Bold 9790 And Curve 9380
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9790Curve 9380
We may have gotten a glimpse at what RIM has planned for the future, but for now RIM devotees will have to make do with a new pair of current-gen BlackBerrys. The new Bold 9790 and the Curve 9380 both run RIM’s BlackBerry 7 OS, but that’s about where the similarities stop.
As the model number suggests, the 9790 is an extension of RIM’s pint-sized 9700 series. The Bold 9790 sticks with the tried-and-true BlackBerry design, albeit with some revamped buttons that caused a bit of a stir when they were first spotted. Unlike the other BB7-powered Bold, the 9790 sports a smaller 2.44-inch 360×480 display, a 1GHz processor, and 8GB of internal storage.
Meanwhile, the Curve 9380 takes its cues from t...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9900
The BlackBerry Bold line has a history of white variants, and the new BlackBerry Bold 9900 has now lived up to its pedigree, scoring one with Vodafone UK. We've previously seen information that both Telus and Rogers are going to have the white version in Canada, that it'll be up for sale in Netherlands, and earlier this year there was a leaked shot of it from Dubai — but now the white 9900 finally gone official, in the UK anyway. The variant is available immediately through Vodafone, and is free on a two-year, £39 per month contract.

BlackBerry Bold 9790 expected to launch November 25
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9790
The official BlackBerry Indonesia site has posted a teaser banner for a new handset coming first to the region on November 25. The image file name is “hero_bellagio”, which we’ve known to be the code name for the BlackBerry Bold 9790 for months now.
From what we’ve seen of the 9790, there won’t be much separating it from the 9900, aside from a more slight form factor. There’s going to be 8 GB of local storage, OS 7, and the same 2.4-inch 640 x 480 display. The 9790 will have a little leg-up on the 9900 by including autofocus for the camera – vital if you want to take quality close-up shots. NFC will be included, but whether or not the carriers will allow it to work is another issue altogethe...

BlackBerry Curve 9380 due on TELUS by holidays
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9380
The BlackBerry Curve 9380 has shown up in the wild again, this time promised on Canadian CDMA carrier TELUS with a release in time for the holidays. RIM teased the smartphone itself last month, revealing a 3.2-inch 480 x 360 display – on what TELUS describes as the “first all touch Curve” RIM has made in the brochure MobileSyrup spotted – while previous leaks have indicated the device will have an 800MHz processor.
There’s also been talk of a 5-megapixel camera capable of 720p HD video recording. OS is BlackBerry 7, complete with the usual array of BBM support and push-email. The user-experience is likely to be much akin to the Torch 9850/9860 we reviewed earlier this year, though probably s...

BlackBerry Curve 9360 launched on Wind Mobile and Mobilicity
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9360
Canada’s two plucky independent service providers, Wind Mobile and Mobilicity, now have the BlackBerry Curve 9360 on sale. Wind already announced their intentions for the 9360, along with the Torch 9810 and 9860. Prices differ a little bit between the two; Mobilicity is asking $299.99 without a contract, while Wind Mobile is charging $349, but has the option for folks to get it free on a WINDtab.
The BlackBerry 9360 is a slim, pocketable little phone, and though the specs aren’t up to snuff with the current top-of-the-line, it definitely blows the last generation out of the water. It’s got a 5 megapixel camera with flash (but no autofocus), 2.4-inch 480 x 360 display, 800 MHz processor, 512 ...

How would you change RIM's BlackBerry Bold 9930?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9930
There's no QNX (or BBX, we should say) here, but the Bold 9930 is still taking baby steps towards the future with BlackBerry OS 7. Now that you've had a few months to tinker with your latest and greatest, we're interested to hear how you'd tweak things if given the keys to Waterloo. Would you make it look a bit more like this? Change up the screen? Toss that chrome ring around the edge? Chunk it to another carrier? Go on and get creative in comments below, but keep it civil, cool?
