Wow, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen any leaked OS’s for any devices. We’re not exactly on top of them as we’re here primarily for other reasons and we’re more interested in BlackBerry 6 than every loose end RIM has yet to tie up with all the different OS versions for each device. Either way, this is the highest OS version number we’ve seen yet for any of these three devices! There is no changelog associated with this leak, but I’m sure it’s only minor performance upgrades here and there. If you install it and notice any huge differences, let us know in the comments or our forums.
If you’re interested in downloading any of them to your device click the following links:
If you’re interested and don’t know how to upgrade your OS, you can click here for a tutorial, and always be sure to do a backup prior to doing anything with your device. NOTE: Only attempt to upgrade your OS if you are comfortable doing so or know what you are doing. BBerryDog is not responsible for any damages to your phone in the process of upgrading your OS. Use all precautionary steps and back up all of your data before proceeding with the upgrade.

Not only did the Google Voice application for BlackBerry get updated yesterday, but the services did as well. The application was updated to 0.2.0.2 with no official changelog. I imagine it was to support the new changes Google has made to the backend of the services they also made. Before, when you called through Google Voice, you would have to dial your Google Voice number, then dial the number you wanted to call, etc. In other words, it was a pain to use so all I ever used it for was free visual voicemail. Here is the official statement from Google explaining the changes that were made:

It has been ages since I have used ÜberTwitter, but it is undoubtedly one of the most used Twitter clients for the BlackBerry platform. Being a heavy hitter and huge contender in the battle for the best Twitter client on BlackBerry, ÜT has come a long way from their first beta release to Beta 8. This release of ÜberTwitter comes with a completely redesigned UI, which, I actually like a lot. I’m always skeptical of applications with a lot of color and tend to look cartoonish, but Beta 8 seems to be just the right mixture of colors so that it retains its sophistication.
ÜT has without a doubt bumped the bar up with their enormous list of features that they’ve packed into this release. Before, SocialScope had the best Twitter client in the bag (at least for me), but I’m going to stop using SocialScope for a few days and test out ÜT. I’ll post sometime next week with my thoughts on it and how well it’s getting the job done for me. I did the same thing with Twitter for BlackBerry a while back and that lasted all of one day before I became annoyed with it again. Hopefully, ÜberTwitter can restore my love for them, as I used to be a huge ÜT fan. Keep an eye out for Gunnar’s impressions on Beta 8 as well as he is turning into a Tweep just like me.
If you’re interested in getting your hands on Beta 8, point your BlackBerry browser here. While you’re at it, you should give the whole BBerryDog crew a follow:

This rumor, while it may not be true, is quite saddening. You may recall a few weeks back when we reported a rumor going around saying which devices were slated to get BlackBerry 6 or not. One of the devices listed was the 9550 Storm2. Now the rumor mill is churning out stories that the Storm2 won’t get BlackBerry 6. I knew something didn’t match up when they said the device minimum requirements would be 512MB internal storage and the Storm2’s internal is 256MB. Either way, I’m still sad. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a Storm2 so I can have some of that sweet, sweet BlackBerry 6 on my Verizon line when it drops. Looks like I’ll have to come up with another plan. So, with that being said, who has a Storm2 and was hoping you had the device that was going to slide by with the exception to the 512MB rule?

Now this is something new. We’ve seen BlackBerry 6 a few times now, and judging by the poll you’re all about as excited as I am to get your hands on it. What we’re given this time is something totally new. In a sense, it’s useless to us considering we probably know exactly how to use 6 already from watching so many videos, but it’s still cool and flashy, nonetheless. Quite honestly, BlackBerry 6 is looking mighty sexy and smooth to me. Anyway, catch the video below, and tell us your thoughts.

Ever since I posted about the large amount of hidden BBM emoticons that had been unearthed, we’ve been receiving comments galore to send them to everyone’s PIN. Rather than leaving everyone high and dry, what I’m going to do is open the flood gates. Everyone who wants these emoticons for BBM, simply reply to this post with your PIN. On Friday, I will make an attempt to send them to everyone who has requested them. If you have already asked for them in the original post, you don’t have to repost, I will get those as well.
Also, if you’re not interested in having to copy and paste them, or set them as AutoText, there is an alternative. There is a paid application called Picticons for BlackBerry, which can be found in BlackBerry App World for $2.99. You have two days to decide which road you want to take. Go!
Update (7/23/2010): Some things have come up, and I won’t be able to send the emoticons until tomorrow. So, in case you wanted them and haven’t sent you PIN, you have one more day!

With all of the other fancy toys out there now, it’s not often RIM gets nominated for awards, especially gadget of the year. The BlackBerry Bold 9700, arguably the most popular BlackBerry to date, has been nominated for the following:
Posted at 11:36 am CDT, July 21st, 2010 by Taylor Martin.
I’ve noticed it a few times here and there but didn’t put much thought into it or trace it back to the source (which turns out to be RIM itself). It seems that this time around, RIM is more media-aware of BlackBerry and wants to build some hype for BlackBerry 6 rather than just let it slowly release without any hype beyond some BlackBerry forums here and there. They’re slowly learning the ways of the interwebs. If you want something to get out and to get out fast, post it on Twitter. If it’s juicy enough, it will gain traction and the entire world will eventually know. Twitter is the new snowball news source for the internet.
Not only does this know that we’re inching towards the release of BlackBerry 6, but it clues us in on a new feature that I’m sure we’ll all enjoy, universal search within BlackBerry. Any by God, let’s hope they made it more user friendly than their current search feature. There are about 15 criteria in which you can narrow your search. By the time you pick the criteria, you could have found what you’re looking for by scrolling to it. Is search important to you all?
Posted at 11:16 am CDT, July 21st, 2010 by Taylor Martin.
Now, I will start this off by saying that these people who leak rumors need to quit playing with my emotions. They’re delicate, and they get my hopes up mainly to watch them crash and burn when they push back release dates by two, three, and four months. With that being said, I’m definitely taking this rumor with a grain of salt, as you should too.
According to John Albright of BlackBerry Partners Funds, AT&T will be releasing a new touchscreen BlackBerry device on August 15th. If that’s the case, it is a very good chance that the 9800 is that very device. I know originally when RIM started talking about BlackBerry 6, they had mentioned a late summer release, and this would be right on que. The problem I see is that Salomondrin, a man known for getting devices early, and fairly reputable for his release date claims, says we probably wouldn’t see BlackBerry 6 of the 9800 before October or November, mainly due to the product not being ready for the public just yet. There was also a RIM employee was spotted in the wild last week claiming that release wouldn’t be until November. None of this adds up.
If we know anything at all, RIM really needs to make the initial release of BlackBerry 6 absolutely perfect. If they botch this, it could spell the end of an era, the era of the BlackBerry, and RIM could begin to walk down the same path Palm did. No fear, though, I have complete and total faith in RIM. Release dates for devices have always been hard to judge, especially coming from companies like Apple or RIM. AT&T typically doesn’t make it any easier on us either. Verizon tends to build hype before the release of a device. This time around, RIM has been giving us tidbits of information the entire time, with nothing to go on. August 15th would be a great release date for this device. I’ve been dying to get my hands on BlackBerry 6 since the very first peep of it. Come on RIM, don’t let us down.
What do you guys think? Is this date legit? It’s coming from a fairly reliable source and the piece fits the puzzle. I’m just not sure whether I believe it or not (mainly because I don’t want to get my hopes up). Tell us your thoughts in the comments below. Also, if you haven’t done so yet, you should participate in our poll from yesterday and tell us how you feel about BlackBerry 6.
Posted at 12:31 pm CDT, July 20th, 2010 by Taylor Martin.
Well folks, it seems like yesterday was the big day for leaks and rumors. Now we’re all sitting around twiddling our thumbs in hopes of something big to drop. In the meanwhile, I want to hear your opinions on BlackBerry 6. Whether it be in our forums, comments, or in the poll below, I want to know what you have to say about it.
Personally, I’m excited. I’ve been a BlackBerry fiend for years now and I’m ready for a change. I have only been a total of two days since my first BlackBerry (April or May 2006). Quite honestly, I can’t go without one. I love more than just BlackBerry though. I have a guilty pleasure for Android as well. In reality though, Android is just my toy. I hack and mod just to tinker, but my BlackBerry is my support phone, my workhorse. I’m hoping BlackBerry 6 can spark new life into the BlackBerry club and bring us new hacks and mods that we can enjoy again. I’ve done nearly anything and everything I can do to my various BlackBerrys, now I just prefer them stock.
So, let’s hear your voice. What do you want out of BlackBerry 6? What do you see that you can’t wait to have? And remember, stay cool pups, it’s a scorcher.
Posted at 11:34 am CDT, July 19th, 2010 by Taylor Martin.
If any of you follow BlackBerry news closely, you have to have heard of Salomondrin. He’s always giving us inside information that nobody else can seem to get their hands on, hence why he goes by “the 007 of the phone world.” This time, he’s at it again. Ol’ Sal gives us a nice walkthrough of an updated version of BlackBerry 6. We’ve seen 6 before, but the video demonstrations sort of made us lose out hype for 6, all up until this most recent BlackBerry 6 teaser from RIM. Straight from Salomondrin’s blog we have three different videos. One is a WebKit Browser HTML5 test and to be honest, BlackBerry 6 dominates the test.
WebKit Browser walkthrough:
This folks, is what we have all been waiting for. We need that browser update. If you go to Salomondrin’s site, he puts the test in comparison with iPhone 4 and Android (HTC Incredible on Android 2.1) browsers. The last HTML5 test that he puts all of the phones through is eye-opening. Out of 300 total points, the BlackBerry WebKit browser scores a 208 points with one bonus versus the iPhone 4 which scored a 185 with 7 bonus points and the Incredible with 151 with no bonus points. What do all these points mean? Who knows, but we know we scored higher than iOS4 and Android which have some of the best web browsing experience seen on a phone yet.
Media Menu walkthrough:
While the media menu is a less impressive improvement than the WebKit Browser, we can definitely see a huge difference in the usability of media on the 9800 versus some older models. Tiny things like the pictures loading instantly versus having to load the thumbnails every single time you open your pictures, more organized albums, etc. make a huge difference in the operation of media and likeliness that someone will convert from using a dedicated MP3 player to using their BlackBerry as their main source of entertainment and media. I’m glad to see RIM finally focusing on consumer-based features and embracing what has landed in their lap rather than simply driving their diminishing business sector.
BlackBerry 6 walkthrough:
This is also something that brings a little more warmth to our hearts. In previous videos we saw unresponsive touchscreens, and just a plain annoying rendition of BlackBerry 6. We were happy to finally catch in on video rather than just seeing some jumpy teaser from RIM, so we could actually believe it existed. Now we have physical evidence that RIM wasn’t playing their OS off as something better than it is. I cannot wait to be able to play with BlackBerry 6. Hopefully RIM doesn’t botch this release and can make a comeback in the smartphone world. While they’re still on top, it’s easy to see that they haven’t been making a large sum of their customers happy. Hopefully BlackBerry 6 can change things.
Posted at 9:58 am CDT, July 19th, 2010 by Taylor Martin.
The 9800’s release is, without a doubt, one of the more anticipated device releases of a BlackBerry device yet. I know personally cannot wait to have one in my hands. The design is very pleasing as is the new OS. A touchscreen and full QWERTY combo BlackBerry has been fabled for going on two years now, and we’re all just ready to unearth this mythical beast. A lot of BlackBerry fans and haters alike are surprisingly still very displeased with RIM and after seeing the direction RIM has decided to move, have written them off and jumped ship to one of the competitors. Let the fair-weather fans live! I will wait on the company that got me hooked on smartphones until they make a glorious comeback, whether it be this year or five years down the road.
Amongst all of the excitement and anticipation of this prolonged release, Salomondrin has clued us in on some information that really makes us even more excited (or…me at least). He claims that the BlackBerry Torch is already being made in and will also be released in white. Whether the white version will be available on launch day, we’re unsure. The way RIM usually releases the white versions of their devices is months after launch day in an attempt to give sales one that specific device a little nudge. In other series like the Curve, we’ve seen every color from red, plum, to even orange. Don’t expect these colors on a Bold or higher end series as the Curve series is aimed at a younger demographic and women. The only thing left to question now is, when will we see this beautiful beast? We know it’s coming to AT&T as a 6-month exclusive here in the US, and more than likely T-Mobile afterwards. We also heard a rumor that it will be an exclusive for Rogers to our neighbors up in Canada. So what do you guys think? Is WhiteBerry the new BlackBerry? Give us your thoughts in the comments below!

As you all may recall quite well, Steve Jobs made an appearance on Friday, at the iPhone 4 press conference, in an attempt to alleviate the black cloud that has been raining on his iPhone 4 parade since launch day, the death grip and antennagate problem. Very politely, Jobs begins to shed light on the situation. As he does so, he also began to bring other manufacturers with over, specific phones into it as well. One of those phones was our very own BlackBerry Bold 9700. Here’s what Jobs said:
This was, in all ways, out of line. Signal dropping when you hold a phone a specific way has been a problem from the time manufacturers started moving away from those old, ugly external antennas. That is no mystery, and it never has been. Your hand can potentially block the antenna and you receive a lower signal. It makes sense. If you deliberately hold a phone in a way that you’re going to block the signal, you can make that issue seem worse than it is. The problem with the iPhone isn’t the signal dropping a bar or two. The issue is not even when you’re holding your phone in the so called “death grip.” The big issue is that when you create a bridge between two out of the three external antennas, your signal pulls a Houdini. I can attest to this as I have held many iPhone 4’s and while holding the phone in the same way I hold my BlackBerry or Nexus One, the signal would quickly degenerate and I would have to move my hand to a different position to use it. This definitely causes a lot of trouble when in general use of the phone, and if you’re a business user, can most certainly create a huge window for missed calls while you are completely oblivious to your signal being gone.
The striking thing is, RIM, a typically passive and quiet giant, decided to fire back this time. Here’s what RIM Co-CEO’s (Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie) had to say in response to Jobs’ claims:
“Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage. One thing is for certain, RIM’s customers don’t need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple.”
– Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie
Quite honestly, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Nor could most of our other fellow ‘Berry heads over at CrackBerry. Kevin of CrackBerry actually took it upon himself to ask his followers to try to replicate the issue and share their results via poll. It’s pretty obvious that Steve Jobs needs to tuck his tail and run to the high ground this time.

In the midst of tough time for RIM (everyone bashing them for being so slow to change and what changes they do make are slight and very minor), it’s very nice to see them harvesting the one thing that truly sets them apart from everything else, BlackBerry Messenger. More widely known as BBM, this is the one thing that has kept many users with their original smartphone platform and brought many new users to the platform over the past few years.
From the video, it’s obvious that BlackBerry users love their BBM, and love the features that only BBM offers, like being able to see when someone has read your message and simply not replied. No other platform has their very own messaging service. Android comes close with Gtalk, but Gtalk just isn’t the same.
The one question I have to ask though, is will RIM alter BBM in BlackBerry 6 at all, or will they make the mistake of letting something that people love now wither to something they will hate, before they make anymore changes to it? That’s exactly what they have done with their OS, BBM in the past, and their device form factor. Sure, when RIM started, everything was fine and dandy. They progressed, kickstarted the smartphone industry, and kept their basic form factor for over ten years. Now that times are changing rapidly, RIM is having a hard time adapting. What I’m asking is, has RIM learned from their mistaktes? Have they learned to try to stay ahead of the curve with BBM and not let it get behind like they did everything else? One can only hope, but regardless of whether RIM has or hasn’t learned, we all love BBM and hold it dear to our hearts. Just don’t let this love grow stale, RIM. We just couldn’t bear it.
If you want to view more BlackBerry videos, you can head on over to their YouTube channel. They have BBM TV ads galore.

Ever since the first peep of the iPad (or back then the Apple tablet) arose, it was surely followed with the question of what RIM would do to compete. While RIM and Apple have not really been direct competition with each other as their products are aimed at different demographics and offer different solutions, they’re now seeing where their paths are bound to cross. The inevitable has come and more and more word of BlackBerry 6 and the rumored BlackBerry tablet rise, from sources here and there than we can only hope to believe.
RIM has neither confirmed or denied making a tablet, but sources have shown that they have, in fact, bought larger displays from a foreign company (Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd). The discrepancy here is that the analyst claims the BlackBerry tablet will sport a 7 seven inch display in contradiction to the rumored 8.9 inch display from before. Either way, RIM has something with a larger display cooking.
Not only will the tablet have a nice and cozy sized display, it will sport a 1GHz processor and dual cameras for video conferencing. Ashok Kumar, an analyst and managing director for Rodman and Renshaw stated:
“Research In Motion (RIMM, Market Perform) is trying to pull forward the launch of the 7-inch touchscreen tablet from early next year to year end…with a marginal point of differentiation being the front- and back-facing cameras for videoconferencing.”
“One possible chip candidate is the Marvell 1GHz Armada 610 processor, which is aimed at tablets, mobile Internet devices, and e-readers. The chip boasts full HD 1080p playback, 16-megapixel image captures, and advanced 3D graphics.”
Nobody outside of RIM’s walls really knows what to expect at this point, but something is cooking, and it’s big. Would any of you be interested in a BlackBerry tablet? Is this too little, too late from RIM? Let’s hope not. Give us your thoughts in the comments section below.

Well, the World Cup is over, and the Spaniards are the champions. Congrats Spain! Since we recommended a plethora of applications to keep you current with your favorite teams and the World Cup, I figured it might be kind of me to help you get rid of the World Cup applications that you will not be needing for another four years. There are three ways that you can remove an application from your device, both of which are pretty simple. The first way is from the applications page or within any of the stock folders or any you may have created. Simply highlight the application you want to delete, press the menu key, and select delete. You will have to confirm the deletion and your phone will become unusable for the following minute or so. It will then ask you if you want to reboot now or later. Keep in mind that rebooting a BlackBerry can take forever depending on what OS you’re running on which device, so if you’re deleting more than one app at a time, I wouldn’t recommend rebooting until you’re done.
The second way to delete an application from your phone is to do it from the options menu. When you open Options, go to Applications. Once the Application page loads all of the Third-party applications installed on your device, simply highlight the application you want to remove, press the menu key, and select delete.
The third way to delete an application from the phone itself is only possible if you downloaded the application via App World. Open up App World, click on the far bottom right button, My World. Once My World loads, highlight the application you want to delete, press the menu key, and select delete.
The second option when it come to deleting applications is plugging your BlackBerry into your computer and using Desktop Manager to do the brute of the work. If you’re only deleting one application, I would say do it from the device, it will take less time. If you’re deleting two, three, or more applications, let Desktop Manager do it. Basically, all you have to do is plug in your BlackBerry to your computer, load Desktop Manager, and click the Application Loader tab. Once this page loads, simply check all of the applications you want to remove and click next. Desktop Manager will delete the applications from your device, the BlackBerry will reboot, and you’re finished. Deleting old applications that you never use is a good idea if your device begins to slow down some. The older BlackBerry models didn’t come with a lot of extra memory and slow down upon installing just a few applications, so spare your free memory and do battery pulls on a regular basis to speed up your BlackBerry.

For those of you who may be prone to losing your phone, listen up! This is what you’ve been waiting for. BlackBerry Protect is a security application that allows you to locate your device, lock your device, backup and wipe all upon losing your device. To add the icing to the cake, it’s free. There are many security applications out there for a paid subscription that do very similar things, but RIM is offering this service completely free of charge. Here are some of the key features talked about in the press release:
Remote Device Management:
Protect important information on a lost BlackBerry smartphone by remotely wiping or locking the device from your desktop
Remotely add contact information to the home screen of a locked BlackBerry smartphone so it can be returned if found
See your BlackBerry smartphone’s location and pinpoint the current whereabouts of a lost or stolen devicewith cell tower and GPS device tracking
Find a nearby misplaced BlackBerry smartphone by remotely activating a loud ringer
Over the Air (OTA) Backup and Restore:
Back up data from your BlackBerry smartphone (including Contacts and Calendar; Memos and Tasks; Browser Bookmarks and Text Messages) over Wi-Fi
Restore your data to a new BlackBerry smartphone, or simply switch from one BlackBerry smartphone to another
There are many other features that come along with BlackBerry Protect, and can be found here. Once we get a copy in our hands, we’ll take a further look into it. Right now, Protect is only in beta and will be released first in private beta to some of those lucky enough to get an invite code in Beta Zone. It will be released into a public beta later this year, so keep your eyes peeled if Protect strikes any interest.

As we all wait in anticipation, not quite sure whether we’re going to love this revamped OS from RIM or not, they release a teaser video that really closes the door on our doubt. If we take a look back into the past and take a quick look at their first BlackBerry 6 teaser, I’m glad they learned from their mistakes and made this teaser something we can better understand. Here are some things you can expect in BlackBerry 6:
redesigned home screen
universal search
context-sensitive pop-up menus
revamped BlackBerry Browser powered by WebKit
new applications like Social Feeds (which integrates all your news and social networks into one destination) and more
When I first saw some BlackBerry 6 demonstrations and other videos, I became very skeptical. The touch controls seemed to be very unresponsive, and some of the gestures appeared to be unintuitive. This teaser definitely clears up some of that smoke and has actually turned me. I’m now very excited for both the 9800 and BlackBerry 6, and can’t wait to get my hands on either of them. As of right now, anything media related I take care of business with Android. Emails, texts, and social networking I pull out my trusty ol’ Tour to knock ‘em out. I’m ready for BlackBerry to take its place back as my all-around phone and not just my workhorse. Well done RIM, my faith is restored. I just have one last question, how soon is “soon?”

The need for a browser replacement for our beloved BlackBerry is rapidly becoming a growing problem. With other devices and platforms that are chocked full of fancy features and wonderful web browsers, it is no doubt in any of our minds that the browser is the low point of the BlackBerry. It has been for some time, and will be until we all get our hands on that (currently blocked out) WebKit browser that comes neatly packages inside BlackBerry 6.
The answer to the problem for the past couple years has been to use browser replacement applications like Opera Mini and Bolt. While they do a decent job of making what would normally be an agonizing process, less agonizing, there is definitely room for improvement and endless room between any of the alternative Browser applications and an Android or iPhone browser. But believe me when I say, we are always happy to hear that Opera Mini has been updated.
The press release from Opera states that the update:
“further improves the browsing experience on phones with limited memory. The update includes a new optimized browser skin allowing for more pages to be open at the same time, more rapid scrolling through pages, and overall improved browsing performance”
If you don’t have Opera Mini on your BlackBerry or have never tried it. While it isn’t my cup of tea (I have a Nexus One as well and just use it), it does a good job of making web browsing a little less painful. You can download and update Opera Mini 5.1 by pointing your default BlackBerry Browser to m.opera.com/download. If you have downloaded Opera Mini 5.1 and notice any notable improvements, let us know in the comments below.

There were a few of you requesting the BBerryDog theme in different colors, so we’re (when I say we’re I mean Don from Dream Themez) here to deliver. As of right now the only other color available is crimson from Today’s iPhone, but they will be coming in the assorted colors associated with PhoneDog’s network sites, TmoNews, Today’s iPhone, and DroidDog. (Therefore, green, fuchsia, and orange are left as you can see in the picture below.)
To download your new, red BBerryDog theme, click here. As of right now it’s only available for the 85xx, 96xx, and 9700. Also, we have also received quite a few requests for a BBerryDog theme for the 83xx series. Your wait is over! You can now download the red version here from your BlackBerry Browser (blue version pending). Don is spread pretty thin between work, being a contributing editor, and making themes, so if the color you’re waiting for is not available yet, it is coming, but it may take a little longer than originally expected. He is working diligently on these themes for us and we want to make sure there is a flavor out there for everyone. So anyone who wants to show a bit of gratitude, you can follow Don on Twitter, or ask us about how you can donate. Also, if you’re an MMA fan like many of us here at BBerryDog and Don, check out Don’s other theme site Dream Themez MMA, and Unfiltered MMA where Don is a contributing editor.
