    BlackBerry 9670 pops up again, with Atlas 8910 in tow

    Well, I’ll be. Thanks to the efforts of an intrepid CrackBerry forum-goer, we have yet another BlackBerry 9670 picture to ogle. And this time, it has company! Here’s a quick refresher for anyone interested: the 9670 is RIM’s first clamshell BlackBerry, which coincidentally wields RIM’s first 5.0 megapixel camera. It runs BB OS 6.0, and should [...]

  • Storm 2 hitting Verizon with ‘MiFi capability?’

    Storm 2 hitting Verizon with ‘MiFi capability?’

    Posted on October 18, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: , ,

    We can't confirm this Verizon Infomanager screen at this point, but if true, when the BlackBerry Storm 2 launches on the network, one of the big touted features will be its MiFi capabilities for sharing 3G internet over WiFi. It'd be smart branding move, sure, but MiFi is also the name Novatel uses for its hardware, so either we're talking here about an application of some sort or it's just internal communications short-hand. Also mentioned here is an October 21st launch, although it's been noted by Crackberry that the date's apparently been replaced with TBA. Without a doubt, we can confidently say we'll know for sure in the next, oh, 52 hours or so.

    [Thanks, Marc-Anthony S.]

    Everyone, even your mom probably, knows that there is a new BlackBerry Storm coming soon from Verizon. It's only a matter of time before RIM or VZW announces the updated 9550. CrackBerry just got a screenshot showing a curiously unannounced BlackBerry Thunder. Could this be the next Storm?

    Crackberry has some hot video of the Storm 2, RIM’s follow-up to the abysmal Storm. This new model has a less clicky screen with better keyboard and it’s slightly thinner. It also has dedicated call buttons. No word on Wi-Fi, though. via Giz Crunch Network: CrunchBoard because it’s time for you to find a new Job2.0

    BlackBerry Curve 8520 to come in more colors

    Posted on July 8, 2009 | No Comments
    Looking at a T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520? You may want to hold off for a bit as it might be available soon in a full range of colors including silver instead of just black. Plus, we hear that the 8520 might be available in even more colors soon - think BlackBerry Pearl color options. CrackBerry is reporting that the silver color option will be available in early August and the other colors will come later down the road.

  • BlackBerry Onyx reviewed way before RIM intended it to be

    BlackBerry Onyx reviewed way before RIM intended it to be

    Posted on May 24, 2009 | No Comments
    We don't know exactly what they're feeding the engineers up in Waterloo, but we're guessing it's a combination of Red Bull, NoDoz, and speed, because they appear to be working on about ten devices at once -- awesome news for anyone looking to pick up a new BlackBerry in the next 6 to 12 months. We've already seen the Onyx in the wild, but as a refresher, this puppy does UMTS (and we'd assume HSDPA as well), a 3.2 megapixel AF cam, an undoubtedly gorgeous 480 x 360 display, GPS, and WiFi in a body more svelte than the Bold's; now, CrackBerry's managed to score a unit and give it a quick once-over. All told the impression seems very positive, with the takeaway being that RIM has taken the best personality traits of the 8900 and 9000 series and stuffed it all into a single device. We're not necessarily expecting this one on the market any time soon -- AT&T just launched the 8900 a couple days ago, after all, and CrackBerry believes RIM could replace the trackball with a Gemini-style optical pad prior to launch -- but it's something to look forward to.

  • BlackBerry Aries spotted: a Gemini with CDMA in its heart

    BlackBerry Aries spotted: a Gemini with CDMA in its heart

    Posted on May 24, 2009 | No Comments
    If you had your eye the BlackBerry Curve 8520 / Gemini, somehow above all the other number of RIM devices that have surfaced as of late, it looks like the stars have aligned (har har) for you. The gang at Crackberry have gotten a first peep at the Aries, which they say is essentially a CDMA-equipped Gemini that's likely to go by the eventual name Curve 8530. Not much else to note here, here's hoping we got some more concrete details -- and maybe a committed carrier or two -- in the not too distant. As for the naming conventions, we now anxiously await for alliterative darlings like a touchscreen Taurus, slide-out Sagittarius, and 18 megapixel Pisces.
