Posted on by

 

UPDATE: I am starting to see more and more positive reviews for the OS 6 leak. Check out what Ashley wrote in the comments below.
 

For those of us who downloaded the leaked OS 6 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, and have learned that it is a complete pile of dung (replace dung as needed). AT&T has released OS 5.0.0.979 for the 9700, and this one is official. If your with a different carrier you will have to delete the vendor.xml file to install. As always, backup your data to be on the safe side. Also, please direct any negative comments concerning the leaked OS 6 to Taylor Martin, he made me post it.

 

 

Here is the link to download the official OS 5.0.0.979 from AT&T.

If you need help we have a complete How-To Guide section on our website. If you have questions about How-To Backup your data, or How-To Upgrade your OS, click on the links that are highlighted. Again you can thank Taylor for creating these guides. He does have a heart, though it’s mostly black. Just kidding, please don’t fire me.

Anyway, if your planning on downgrading or upgrading, let us know how OS 5.0.0.979 works for you. If you have any questions use the comment section below and we will do our best to answer them for you. Thanks.

RIM to provide India with a final solution by January 2011

Posted on by

India has agreed to give RIM an additional sixty days to comply with government regulations citing concerns over national security. India had threatened to ban corporate e-mail and messenger services by August if RIM did not come up with a way for the government to monitor the encrypted information. After the deadline was pushed to October by Indian regulators, RIM agreed to an interim (temporary) arrangement for lawful interception of BlackBerry messenger services and pledged to provide a final solution by January.

Reaserch In Motion said in a statement that “it is optimistic about reaching a final solution with Indian regulators” and ”it had not changed the security architecture for corporate e-mail, that it does not make special deals on access with individual countries.”

In related news, India is now asking all companies that provide encrypted communication to install servers in the country to make user data more accessible for the government to obtain. This would lead some to speculate that Gmail provider Google would be affected, as well as Internet phone company Skype SA.

Listen up, I am not going to start ranting about power hungry governments who have to know every little thing about what people are doing all the time. What I will say is that this is not just a RIM problem. This will eventually affect every single human being on this planet regardless of which phone provider you use, or the company you get your internet through. We should all be thankful of the fight RIM is engaged in on our behalf.

What’s your take on the subject? You see things differently, or do you agree with what RIM is doing? Sound off below.

Hands-On Video Review of the BlackBerry Style 9670

Posted on by

 

I have been following the BlackBerry Style 9670 ever since it was mentioned several months ago. Contrary to popular opinion, I have always believed that there is a market for a smart flip phone with a full qwerty keyboard. As more about the phone is revealed I stand by my past statements made in prior posts supporting this form factor. I think this is a very smart move by RIM to take advantage of an untapped market, and look for other companies to jump on the bandwagon. But listen, check out this hands on video from Kevin Michaluk at CrackBerry.com and you be the judge.

The BlackBerry Style will come preloaded with OS 6, a 5MP camera, and 512MB of ram. Has your opinion of the BlackBerry Style 9670 changed at all? With a Halloween release one question remains, will this be a Trick or Treat for the clamshell? Give us your opinion below.

Sprint has been on top of their game in the past week rolling out update after update. Why should they stop now?

With that being said, Sprint and RIM have just officially released OS 5.0.0.983 available for the BlackBerry Bold 9650. I know what your thinking, because I’m thinking the same thing. Why would they release another OS 5 update when there are already leaked versions of OS 6 floating around. I wish I had a good answer for you, but I have ran out of excuses. If your interested in downloading OS 5.0.0.983 from Sprint, hit the link below.

Telus Mobility will be adding the BlackBerry Style 9670 to their lineup

Posted on by

 

Hot on the heels of the BlackBerry Style 9670 announcement said to be a “Sprint Exclusive”, Telus Mobility has announced that it to will be offering a little Style to Canadian customers. But wait a minute, I thought exclusive means sole rights. Hmmm!  Anyway, Telus has officially confirmed they will be adding the BlackBerry Style to their lineup. Although date or price have not been released, rumors have surfaced pointing to late November. Here is the announcement made by Telus earlier today.

“Today Sprint announced that they will offer the BlackBerry Style 9670. I wanted to reach out to confirm that TELUS will be offering the BlackBerry Style here in Canada. Pricing and availability information still to come.”

Is anyone on Telus willing to give the BlackBerry Style a shot? Also, if someone could find out what the definition for exclusive is. Please leave your comments below.

T-Mobile announces 200MB data plan for $9.99

Posted on by

 

 

Word today is T-Mobile will be offering a 200MB data plan for $9.99 a month. The plan is supposedly set to launch sometime in November. T-Mobile will also continue offering unlimited data for $30 a month. Here’s the kicker, if you go with the $9.99 plan and exceed 200MB of data, T-Mobile will allow you to upgrade to the $30 unlimited plan without having to pay overage fees. This will certainly help those of us who sporadically use data every now and then. I have to give T-Mobile props for this move, and not forcing customers to subscribe to an unlimited plan when they don’t need it.

What do you think of this latest move from T-Mobile? Can you keep it under 200MB, or do you need a little more? Reply below.
