RIM may be rushing BlackBerry Colt QNX phone amid weak BlackBerry 7 sales
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerry
Research In Motion is said to be rushing its first QNX-powered smartphone to market in light of underwhelming BlackBerry 7 devices sales. In a note to investors on Friday, Jefferies & Company analyst Peter Misek suggested demand for RIM’s new smartphones is not meeting expectations. An earlier report indicated that sales to enterprise customers have been solid thus far, while consumer demand may be lacking. Misek’s checks indicate that sales of BackBerry 7 phones to carriers is “just okay,” while sales of older BlackBerry smartphones continues to decline. The analyst believes follow up orders from carriers will also fall short of expectations, and RIM’s quarterly earnings could take a hit as...

Sprint comes out to announce officially that the BlackBerry Curve 9350 is being delayed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9350
Just yesterday, one of our tipsters managed to pass along a little bit of sad news regarding the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 9350. However, today we’re getting the official confirmation that the handset is indeed being delayed.
Announcing the news on their support forums for the BlackBerry Curve 9350, Sprint mentions that the handset isn’t going to be arriving as previously scheduled for today; September 9. Rather, it seems that they’re blaming its delay on “unexpected circumstances” that will now see its release date be pushed back to an October time frame. Unfortunately, no concrete date was given this time around for its eventual release.
Even though it’s a going to be a bummer for some custo...

Verizon Wireless announced on Tuesday that it will offer the BlackBerry Torch 9850 on September 8th for $199.99 with a new two-year contract.

The Torch 9850 was first unveiled during a RIM event in Toronto on August 3rd where we published hands-on impressions of the phone. It is the best full-touchscreen smartphone RIM has sold and its browser is much improved, but the BlackBerry 7 operating still feels stale in comparison to Android, Windows Phone a...

We knew this day was coming, so there are no surprises here. BlackBerry's latest addition to its portrait QWERTY family, the Bold 9900, is on sale now at T-Mobile stores. The chrome trimmed, 14.4Mbps HSDPA capable handset'll run you $350 (before a $50 mail-in rebate) with a two-year commitment, or you can always fork over the full $600 if you'd rather steer clear of the carrier's contract chains. In case you were in need of a refresher, the phone packs a zippy 1.2GHz processor, 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen and runs BlackBerry 7 OS. Feeling like it's time to update your crackberry habit?

BlackBerry Bold 9900 now available at T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryBold 9900
RIM’s latest batch of BlackBerry smartphones have been gradually working their way out to various carriers over the last few weeks, and now there’s yet another notch to scratch. T-Mobile now has the BlackBerry Bold 9900 on sale for $299.99 on a two-year contract, as expected. That pricetag is a little on the high side, but up here in Canada, Bell has already slashed the price to $100 on a three-year contract, so expect a few cuts in the near future.
The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is spearheading RIM’s latest efforts, offering a 2.8-inch touchscreen with a 640 x 480 resolution, 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, and a 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording. The operating system is more or less...

BlackBerry Torch 9860 burns up Telus for $99.99
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryTorch 9860
Not far behind Bell, Telus has launched the BlackBerry Torch 9860, RIM’s first all-touchscreen phone in a long time. The pricetag is sitting at $99.99 on a three-year contract, for $549.99 with no strings attached.
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 has the biggest, sharpest screen we’ve seen on a BlackBerry to date, measuring 3.7 inches and 800 x 480 pixels. The 5 megapixel camera on the back can shoot 720p video and has an LED flash for low-light conditions, and the whole package is powered by a 1.2 GHz processor with 768 MB of RAM. The software is a modest iterative upgrade on the old BlackBerry OS, including a few goodies like augmented reality support, a 3D-capable graphics rendering engine, and...

BlackBerry Curve 9360 and Torch 9860 launched on Bell
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9360Torch 9860
Last week, Bell launched the BlackBerry Curve 9360 shortly behind Telus, and raised them a Torch 9860. Since the two carriers share an HSPA network, it’s no surprise that their device launches are close together, or that they’re matching pricetags at $49.99 on a three-year contract.
The BlackBerry Curve 9360 is RIM’s new entry-level offering, and is surprisingly tiny. It’s got a 2.4-inch 480 x 360 display, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, and runs on an 800 MHz processor with 512 MB of RAM. NFC is also packed in there, but it looks like carriers are locking that feature down for the time being. There’s still the magnetic compass in there for augmented reality apps, at least, but no other i...

Carriers worry over Android/iPhone, may return to BlackBerry
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleRIM BlackBerryGoogle
RIM may see a bounce back in the market simply out of carrier worries of an Apple and Google duopoly, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu learned on Friday. After talking to carriers, he heard that networks are worried about the "growing dominance" of Android and the iPhone and were sorely looking for a third option to keep competition up. With Nokia not due to ship its first Windows Phones until September, he said, the BlackBerry could benefit simply by being a well-established company with a recently revamped phone line.

RIM Launches Inexplicable BBM Music App
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsRIM BlackBerry
Though Slacker and Pandora have made the migration, the BlackBerry App World’s selection of music apps is pretty limited compared to competing platforms. In fact, the App World is found wanting in a couple different categories. But that doesn’t mean RIM isn’t open to improvement, albeit incremental improvement. That said, RIM today announced its BBM Music app.
It’s basically a subscription music app with a strong social element. For $4.99 monthly, you can have 50 different songs on what RIM is calling your BBM Music profile. From there, it really all depends on popularity. You have access to all of the music on each of your friends’ BBM Music profiles, so theoretically your selection could ...

Verizon to carry BlackBerry Torch 9850 according to leak
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerry9850
Verizon will carry RIM’s new BlackBerry Torch 9850, according to a picture of a leaked advertisement obtained by CrackBerry. It is still unclear when the phone will launch, but given that it is pictured next to the aging Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play, we suspect Verizon could make the announcement in the near future. RIM revealed the Torch 9850 in early August and we had a chance to check it out first-hand during an event in Toronto. The web browser is much improved, we appreciated the thin form factor and the phone’s 1.2GHz processor zipped around BlackBerry OS 7. The BlackBerry Torch 9850 is equipped with a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, 8GB of storage and a 5-megapixel camera capable of record...
