A "breaking news" bulletin was just sent out to all AT&T Retail employees today stating that they have started limiting iPhone purchases to one per customer. The email isn’t exciting, but the inventory is definitely starting to dry up. Full email (which isn’t that interesting) is after the jump.

Since we were the first ones to break the news about a touchscreen BlackBerry device, it’s only fitting that we follow up and give y’all the real lowdown on it! This is going to excite a lot of people, but anger many. Are you ready? The BlackBerry Thunder, as it is codenamed now, (all you [...]
We just got word that some of T-Mobile’s upcoming phones are delayed or scrapped altogether. The Nokia 5310 Xpress Music handset which replaces the current Nokia 5300 is now slated for release in early June. It will launch in red, orange, and purple colors. The more higher-end Nokia 5610 Xpress Music has also had a [...]
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 [...]
You heard it here first, people! The much-awaited BlackBerry 9000 will be announced on May 12th, the first day of WES 2008 in Orlando, FL. There will even be booths setup so y’all can demo the device to your heart’s delight. Word has it that Mike Lazaridis will be up on stage announcing the device. [...]
Our AT&T ninjas are at it again! This time they’ve dropped us a note that the Nokia E71 will be making its way to the carrier. We’re working on getting pictures of the AT&T-branded Nokia E71, but until then, call this a rumor. You know, so you don’t totally hate us if this doesn’t turn [...]

Well, here’s the story. Let’s start this off by saying that we think this might be a little bit too early, but you never know with Apple. Anyways, we told y’all last year before the first iPhone launched that AT&T employees were not allowed to take vacations from June 15th to July 15th. AT&T reps [...]

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 [...]
So you know how we’ve been talking about the BlackBerry 9000’s ridiculously high selling price? Well, it looks like RIM is gearing up to launch a 3G-less BlackBerry 9000 so to speak. It looks pretty similar but there are also a few changes to the design like a larger bezel around the front, and a [...]
You didn’t think we’d actually leave you hangin’, did you? To follow up on on yesterday’s post of the BlackBerry KickStart photos, we’ve got here a couple more images of the phone with T-Mobile branding and some interesting details on the physical design attributes. It looks like the screen is monochromatic with a color glow. [...]
Are you ready, people? We’ve been holding this info for a while now trying to confirm it, but no more! We have here pictures of a new BlackBerry device. It is a BlackBerry clamshell — a flip phone and codenamed the Kickstart! Let me repeat this. This isn’t fake, this isn’t a hoax. We’ve known [...]

While most of this has actually been leaked and confirmed by us previously, it’s always good to get a second confirmation, right? We just a hold of the final specs for the BlackBerry 9000 (they aren’t sure if they’re going to give it a name like the Pearl or Curve). So here we go:
Radio - [...]
