That didn’t take too long, did it? We finally have it people — it’s alive and confirmed. The BlackBerry Bold is indeed the official name for the BlackBerry 9000 device and it should be available starting "this summer." AT&T is the first carrier to launch, but there is also a 1700MHz model coming which will [...]

WES is right around the corner, and more info is beginning to trickle in by the hour. We were first told about this a couple days ago, but it seemed too unlike RIM to be true. After multiple independent confirmations, we’re comfortable telling you that RIM is set to announce a $150M fund which will [...]
We’re almost there, guys! It’s been told to us that at 12AM EST, the BlackBerry Bold press release will cross the wires. We’ve heard a lot of conflicting reports — that the device might launch a lot earlier than expected, or the press release will just have a vague launch timeframe with AT&T, Vodafone, and [...]
We’ve got some intel that we’ve been sitting on that suggests the final name of the BlackBerry 9000 will turn out to be the BlackBerry Bold. This isn’t confirmed, and the domain, which was purchased from a shady-looking comnpany in Canada, currently has text link ads on it. Not a good sign. Let’s see if [...]

Like we told you yesterday, the BlackBerry Curve has finally made it’s way to Sprint. The device can be ordered online and through telesales, though we’re not exactly sure when the handset will begin showing up in Sprint stores. You have to admit that $179.99 price is attractive. But, it must irk all you CDMA [...]

You know how we always beat RIM over the head for not doing some mainstream advertising? We’re hearing they are going to start with their own ads (not carrier-sponsored) tonight. You can catch them all on NBC this evening. They will air (have already aired) on My Name is Earl, The Office, and 30 Rock. [...]
We’ve got a ton of tips over the past couple days surrounding the BlackBerry Curve’s debut on Sprint. Most if not all of those pointed to an official May 9th release date. Here’s a flyer detailing the release date, handset pricing, and specs. The no contract price of the Curve is $599.99! Don’t get too [...]

There was a little bit of confusion with the 3G-less BlackBerry 9000 we posted. We heard two different codenames: Javelin and Niagara. Well, we were just told some more information on both devices. It seems the BlackBerry codenamed Niagara is actually an EV-DO device slated to hit Verizon in May of 2009. That seems a [...]
