Indeed. It appears that the folks over at BlackBerryCool haven’t been getting much love lately. While they deliberately avoid mentioning the offending companies, it would seem that they have been the recipients of the proverbial cold shoulder lately. The fear of course being that they may go leak-happy with whatever info they manage to obtain. [...]

It’s been quite a day here in London with HTC rolling out the red carpet treatment in recognition of the launch of their new Touch Diamond handset. We’ll certainly be the first to admit that we were a bit underwhelmed by the Touch Diamond announcement when it first hit. The phone has been circulating the [...]

Alright, people! We’ve touched down in London and we’re starting to head to HTC’s special press event. We’ll update this shortly from the venue.  
11:16 AM: We’re still waiting…
11:20 AM: Only a small amount of people here…not including the 100 HTC employees, of course.
11:30 AM: Still waiting…looks like there is a delay.
11:39 AM: A lot more [...]

Push To Talk may be a niche technology, but it certainly has a devoted army of followers. Hoping to bring a few more converts into the fold, Verizon appears poised to launch the next generation of the instant-access technology. The next-gen technology boasts faster connection times utilizing EV-DO Rev. A and a more robust feature [...]

If the delayed impact of the Canadian tidal wave hasn’t been completely underwhelming of late, it appears another new BlackBerry could be hiding around the corner. Throw down the red carpet and bring out the welcoming party, as it seems the next BlackBerry device - after the BlackBerry 9000 - will be the BlackBerry 9100.

We’re back with the second half of the segment! We explore RIM’s outages, their network infrastructure, and the recent 4.5 OS. We also jump into BES 5.0, OS 5.0, a BlackBerry Browser with WebKit, and more BlackBerry 9000 info. Oh yeah, can’t forget the iPhone SDK either. Ch-ch-check it out below!
P.S. Depending on the feedback [...]

Jibi and I took a little time out to do this first episode of BGR Radio for y’all last night. There’s a ton of info in here: we cover the BlackBerry 9000 and the whopping $900-$1000 SRP, the new 3G iPhone, how they both stack up against each other, and how RIM will compete with [...]

You may remember our first look for the BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 from six months ago. You may remember our first look for the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager from nearly a year ago.  You may even remember our first look for the BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.2 from one and a half years ago.
Now we extend [...]

Apparently the folks at Nokia subscribe to the theory that if you’re going to do something, do it big. Nokia’s CTIA presence was just that: BIG. The Nokia booth was tremendous and very well laid out. The perimeter was lined with service demo stations for things like Mosh 2.0 and Share Online while the interior [...]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who keeps checking the site, subscribing to our RSS feed, and everything else y’all are doing! March was our biggest month ever, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Yes you, right there. To say thanks, we’re going to be running a new round of giveaways in [...]

As you may remember, almost one year ago, we broke news of the BlackBerry Curve 8330. Granted, some facts have since been corrected (not a World Edition device), but it’s been a rather long wait for CDMA customers wanting a BlackBerry Curve device. Recent news posted on BGR has shown pictures of the Sprint release, as well as a launch [...]

You might have remembered our detailed coverage of Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard a few months back. Our Motorola Q9 with Wi-Fi came with it, and we’ve just received a new Motorola Q9 with Wi-Fi, and it’s got some updated Windows Mobile 6.1 goodies in it! Here’s a quick breakdown of the new features:

Support for AT&T’s [...]

I’m going to keep this pretty short just because the unit is like, uh, almost identical to the GSM one we tore apart and reviewed a little while back. The HTC Shift is coming stateside, as you all know by now. It’s going to be available starting today, and is a Sprint unit. So besides [...]
