Oh my, where to begin? How about the official announcement of the cdma blackberry Bold 9650! RIM boosted the flash memory to 512mb. The overall look is very similar to the previous tour save for some incremental changes. It comes standard with wifi and it will most definitely be OS 6.0 ready.

RIM also announced the Pearl 9100 which is 3G and comes with a suretype keyboard and the ever popular trackpad. The processor is apparently very snappy and the visual display is supposed to be high res! Flip open the battery cover door and you see a retractable slide which makes removing the sim card a cinch!

The future looks bright. Both phones are slated for a May/June release.

Hey blackberry folks, its been a while since I lasted posted, but there’s some great news here. Berrybuzz has been updated to version 3.0.57. Included are several new colours and many more disco features like police (which is now my fav setting for a phone call). The UI has been tweaked, you can go for the white background or change it to a black background. I personally prefer the former over the later. This upgrade did come at cost though, at least for me. I had to pay an additional $1.99 for the upgrade. But honestly its worth the money. It gets the blackberry nik seal of approval Enjoy the upgrade!

Wow, I just posted about an OS leak for the Javelin last week and here we are again with another one. OS 5.0.0.592 for the Curve 8900 has just been released today and I just downloaded and installed it. They’re doesn’t seem to be many differences. The default browser seems a little snappier. And everything in general seems a bit quicker save for the bootup. At present I am not sure about the battery life. If there are any remarkable findings I’ll make sure to post them.

This is absolutely ludicrous, but it explains why skype was so hush hush when it came to their product and the blackberry experience. It appears that only Verizon users will have the benefit of free blackberry to skype conversations. This means that we Canadian’s are once again screwed. How could this happen? I am quite appalled by this and I hope other solutions will be available. RIM can’t let this one slip by.

Hey crackberry fiends. I received an email with regards to Opera Mini going out of beta to a final version. I downloaded it for my javelin and I must say that I am loving it! There are some incremental changes. The font is larger, the speed dial includes social networking delights like twitter and facebook. It seems generally snappier, the web pages are indeed smaller versions of the desktop brethren. On wifi I am most impressed. The browser speed is quick to say the least. Opera mini will no doubt be my default browser until RIM decides to do something with its webkit browser.
