New Verizon flyer touts BlackBerry 6

Posted on by

If you’re a Verizon BlackBerry user patiently awaiting BlackBerry 6, this may interest you quite a bit. A new Verizon BlackBerrry poster has posed for the camera, and it’s BlackBerry 6 talk along with it. Most of us have given BlackBerry 6 a go, and it’s a nice upgrade that’s definitely worth sticking around for. Unfortunately, the poster doesn’t give any dates, so it’s still just a waiting game. The good thing is that with Verizon ad kits hitting brick and mortar stores, the update is surely just around the corner. Hey, maybe Big Red will get into the holiday spirit and give BlackBerry 6 as a Christmas present to us all. Hang tight, and we’ll let you know as more information comes.

BlackBerry Storm 3 aka Monaco, and touchscreen Bold known as Montana?

Posted on by

It looks like RIM has finally decided to step up their game and start competing with Android, iPhone, etc.  All of the following information is based on rumors and hearsay.  Diversifying fact from fiction is impossible at this point in time, so take this all with 1.2×10^9 molecules of NaCl.

One thing we can almost guarantee is that the refresh to the Storm 2 (also known as the Odin Refresh) is a scrapped project.  However, there is still rumor of a Storm 3.  If you didn’t see the original article on the Storm 3, click here to see it.  Like all BlackBerrys, the Storm 3 must adopt a crappy nickname before it is released so that RIM can dazzle us with unintelligible bologna that will only make sense when the phone is actually announced… but, I digress.  The Storm 3′s super-awesome codename is the “Monaco”.  Don’t ask us why because, to be honest, we have no clue.

However, here comes my favorite part of this news.  There have been to pictures in relatively rapid succession from Mr. 1.3-megapixel, non-autofocus man himself of a BlackBerry Bold totally devoid of a trackpad.  Instead, it seems that this Bold will sport a touchscreen, similar to what we saw on the Torch (minus the sliding mechanism).  This phone has been codenamed Montana and pegged as the Bold 9900.  Above is something of an artists rendition, and not an actual picture.

I have to say that I am extremely curious about both the Monaco and Montana, but the Montana in particular.  I think it’s an awesome idea, but RIM needs to really deliver on this one if it is to be a success.  With the holiday season quickly approaching, a fire needs to be lit under RIM’s behind.

BlackBerry Bold 9780 pricing from Best Buy

Posted on by

Best Buy has released a sales ad showcasing the BlackBerry Bold 9780 along with pricing from Bell, Rogers, and Virgin Mobile. It breaks down like this, on a 3-year contract the Bold 9780 will run you $149.99. If you choose not to go with a contract, the 9780 will set you back $499.99. The latest rumor for a release date is November the 9th, but this has not been confirmed.

It’s been noted that Telus is the only Canadian provider not included in the above ad. Here is the thing though, when I go to Best Buy’s website and search for the Bold 9780, Telus is the only carrier that pops up. Telus is showing a 3-year contract with the phone costing only $99.99. Without a contract the price is $499.99. Here is the official description on Best Buy’s website.

  

Telus BlackBerry Bold 9780 Smartphone – Black – 3 Year Agreement

The Telus BlackBerry Bold 9780 features the BlackBerry 6 operating system, so you get a seamless and reliable mobile experience. It’s also loaded with great features including Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, a 5MP camera, and so much more that will keep you in touch with your entire world.

PRODUCT  FEATURES:

With these price announcements showing up, you can count on a release date manifesting itself any day now. The question I have is this, with leaks dropping every other day for OS 6, is it worth picking this up when it becomes available, or will you simply install OS 6 on your 9700, and pass on the 9780? Leave your comments below.

Red BlackBerry 9780 may be headed our way, Jersey Shore give it two fist pumps

Posted on by

We just recently saw the 9780 news officially drop last week, with a laundry list of carriers confirming that they will be carrying the device.  As far as we can tell, this video is truly a 9780, but it is in a test environment.  The 9780 has not (and possibly will not) shown up in red in pre-orders, so only time will tell

I have to say… I have seen some ugly phones in my day, but this has to be the ugliest BlackBerry that I’ve ever seen.  BlackBerrys (beside the Pearl) have always had an executive look to them (half of the reason that I liked them so darn much).  Even the white Bold still had a pristine and dignified look.  A red Bold is just another step in the wrong direction for RIM, at least in my opinion.  Let me know what you guys think!  Red BlackBerry Bold, pass or fail?
