BlackBerry already has a Pink BlackBerry Curve in their supply chain, what with Telus having already launched the Pink BlackBerry Curve last month. So, it makes sense that they’re branching out and offering the more feminine-colored BlackBerry Curve on Verizon’s network.
RIM looks to be pushing their aging handsets with vigor prior to bringing the BlackBerry Bold 9000 into the mix. With updated color choices and refreshed BlackBerry OS versions, RIM’s last ditch BlackBerry promotions are unlikely to find too many new customers (at least the more educated and tech-savvy types), but that’s not stopping them from spreading the new color love.
Verizon will be offering the Pink BlackBerry Curve 8330 for $99.99 after two-year contract and rebate starting tomorrow, August 8. So, if you or your loved one just can’t stand to not own the latest Pink-colored gadget, the Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8330 in Pink should pique your interest.

Bplay just released fresh Hannah Montana theme for BlackBerry following the surprising popularity of their recent Tinker Bell theme. I know we’ve talked plenty about how pink paint jobs on devices can capture the female market, but I never really thought that would extend to 13-year-olds. But hey, them young’uns love to text, so might as well give ‘em what they want. Pink Girl, Pink Heart and Tickled Pink are some other slightly feminine, slightly youthful themes that might interest the same crowd.

Take it from the BlackBerry Cool team: it is tough running a small to medium-sized business on a tight budget (well, at least it was until we found gold deposits in our Fortress of Solitude), so you have to constantly be on vigil for cool deals. Thankfully, Rogers has been running a promotion since June 1st that gives your business a free BES with 15 new BlackBerry activations. In addition, there is also a deal providing a BlackBerry Professional Software Bundle for 5-9 new activations
The promotion ends August 31st, so make sure to act soon. Check out the detailed Eligability/Restrictions list after the jump, or head here for more info:

Thanks for the tip, Fake Ted Rogers!

Just in time to bolster RIM’s position to launch a significant counter-offensive against the iPhone in the Canadian-based handset maker’s smartphone niche, T-Mobile’s upcoming BlackBerry launches have been detailed. Thanks to a leaky product pipeline at T-Mobile, we’re hearing that no less than five new BlackBerry handsets will be launching on T-Mobile’s network over the next few months. The new BlackBerry models include fresh new color offerings for the BlackBerry Pearl 8120, the much-anticipated BlackBerry Pearl 8220 (formerly known as the KickStart), and the BlackBerry Javelin.
T-Mobile will be launching the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 in three new colors. Following on the newest BlackBerry Pearl 8120 color offerings, T-Mobile is planning to launch the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 in Tahitian Green, Indigo, and Light Blue color schemes. The new Pearl 8120’s will be available with the BlackBerry OS 4.5, to keep things fresh for the aging Pearl.For those BlackBerry fans waiting on RIM’s first attempt at a clamshell handset, the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 will be hitting T-Mobile 
in late September or early October. The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 has been referred to en masse as the BlackBerry KickStart, but has recently undergone a name change to better fit in with the BlackBerry consumer-oriented product portfolio. And, keeping in line with RIM’s naming conventions, the “20″ tacked on to the end of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220’s model name denotes that the BlackBerry flip will sport a WiFi radio that should play nice with T-Mobile’s HotSpot @Home UMA service. The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 (aka KickStart) should launch with BlackBerry’s newest BlackBerry OS 4.6.
And, just in time to give holiday shoppers something to look forward to, T-Mobile is expected to launch the BlackBerry Javelin in late November 
or early December. The BlackBerry Javelin is considered to be the EDGE-only variant of the high-resolution BlackBerry Bold 9000 that has garnered so much attention as of late. The BlackBerry Javelin will not offer the higher 3G data speeds of its more capable sibling, the BlackBerry Bold, but stays true to RIM’s new design aesthetic. The Javelin is both sleeker and slimmer than previous BlackBerry monoblocks and should give non-3G users an appealing alternative to the more pricey BlackBerry Bold. BlackBerry Javelin customer can look forward to a slightly newer BlackBerry OS 4.6.1.
The move to offer the BlackBerry Javelin in favor of the BlackBerry Bold point to T-Mobile’s ongoing push to roll out their 1700Mhz 3G network across the US. The T-Mobile 3G network just recently went live in Las Vegas and Austin, so the nascent 3G infrastructure is moving along quite nicely. But, it’ll likely be well in to 2009 before we see a T-Mobile compatible BlackBerry Bold 9000.

As previously rumored, Virgin Mobile is now offering the BlackBerry Pearl for free on a three-year contract. The big seller here is that they’re throwing in 8 GB memory cards on all activations. Yow. Plenty of carriers hand out 1 GB cards as incentives, 8 GB cards are not only hard to find, but can get pretty pricey, too. As for plans, Virgin’s got voice and text plans starting at $25/month and BlackBerry plans from $15/month and up. If you want more info, the web store is really cleanly set up, and makes picking your options pretty dang easy.

Following up on yesterday's Rogers 8220 Info, here's a shot of Roger's complete Q3 hardware line up. It seems Rogers doesn't even know what to call the 8220. On the image above it's still referred to as the KickStart (click image for bigger version), yet on the fact sheet after the jump it's all about the BlackBerry Pearl 8220.
Also new - the WiFi equipped 8320 will be arriving at Rogers - which I'm assuming will support Roger's rebranded TalkSpot UMA calling service (since the Bold doesn't support it).

While it’s not a far shot that Canadian carrier Telus would get the upcoming touchscreen BlackBerry Thunder, a financial analyst’s off-hand commentary shouldn’t be taken as hard and fast evidence. Still, the prospect of someone other than Verizon and Vodafone packing the BlackBerry 9500 is pretty appealing… Current rumours are pointing to a mid-October release date on Verizon, so we can expect something in the same time frame for Canada. Bell might be left in the dark for this one, but only time will tell…

RIM apparently didn’t think the BlackBerry KickStart moniker was going to vibe too well with the general public, and has decided to rebrand their first foray in to clamshell designs. The first BlackBerry flip-phone, the BlackBerry KickStart, as it has been known, will hence forth be referred to as the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8220. The name change comes on the heels of reports that the handset would be called the BlackBerry KickStart 8220 - not too far off base from the actual handset model name.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8220, in accordance with Waterloo’s naming conventions, will sport a WiFi radio, while the BlackBerry Pearl 8210 will pack integrated GPS hardware beneath the clamshell form-factor.
We’re also hearing that the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 will be offered on T-Mobile’s network while the BlackBerry Pearl 8210 should give AT&T customers with a hankerin’ for a GPS-enabled BlackBerry flip something to chew on. More as we hear it.
While we wait for T-Mobile and AT&T to go live with the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 and BlackBerry Pearl 8210, respectively, take a gander at the video below. It should help pass the time a bit faster (but just a little bit).

The good folks at Viigo opened up the second public beta of Viigo's Project Tango today. In case you're a newcomer to the BlackBerry world and that first sentence sounds a bit "greek" to you, you can learn about Viigo here and the first Public Beta here.
What's new in the second beta? Two new services have been added: US Elections and Beijing 2008. Minor improvements have also been made to existing services, including Entertainment, Weather and Stocks. Sorry guys and gals... no podcasts yet (speaking of podcasts - apologies for the delays in getting a new CB podcast up. We're going to get one recorded soon!).
More details and screen caps after the jump. And if you want to give the second beta a try, just point your berry's browser to getviigo.com/beta
Wow. Gotta give a thumbs up to RIM's marketing team. I'm sure they were involved with the BlackBerry product placement in this video. Will.I.Am spends about a minute singing it up in front of a BlackBerry ad at a bus stop with Curve in hand. Sweet song and Cool video though - maybe RIM should have hit up Will.I.Am for Bold ringtunes instead of Mr. Copeland.
We shouldn't be totally surprised to see this ad..err.. video though. Think back to March when RIM sorta threw in for Obama when they announced making Dipdive (Will.I.Am's political blog) content available on the BlackBerry. thanks for sending in James!

Looks like I might be jumping the Rogers ship and moving over to Telus in a few months. Why? Word has it they are poised to become the exclusive carrier of RIM's touchscreen BlackBerry in Canada.
Yesterday in the Globe and Mail, in an article called 10 Reasons to Buy Rogers, the author dropped in this seemingly innocent line:
"On the other hand, Telus is expected to launch (exclusively) a new touch screen BlackBerry this fall, which could steal some of the Bold's Thunder, albeit temporarily."
Telus and the BlackBerry Thunder? What about the Verizon/Vodafone worldwide exclusive? It was unconfirmed news to me so I held off posting, but after working over some trusty RIM-connected folk last night (a.k.a. Yager Bombs at a bar until 2am), I have indeed confirmed that Telus will in fact be getting a touchscreen BlackBerry - exclusively (at least to start). I'll want to see it before I fully believe it, but it only makes sense that somebody get to carry the Thunder in RIM's home and native land.
Update: Since posting this live I have received yet further word confirming the above. Good news for Telus subscribers, that's for sure.
You can talk about in the forums here (thanks mnokia) and yes, that's some intentionally bad Telus logo photoshopping :-)

T-Mobile was kind enough to bring the BlackBerry Bold to Germany and Austria, and has now extending the same courtesy to the UK. As you may well know, the BlackBerry 9000 is quite the package, including Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G, side-loading microSD slot, super-crisp 480 x 320 display and a two-megapixel camera with video recording. The online store isn’t showing anything just yet, but keep your eyes peeled, Brits. Failing that, 3 Mobile and Vodafone should be carrying the BlackBerry Bold on their shelves shortly as well. Now, I wonder if you could grab one of those coloured battery doors in magenta…

WiAV Solutions has recently unloaded both barrels of legal action on RIM, Apple and Palm regarding what’s called Adaptive Multi-Rate compression, a GSM voice compression technology. AMR is used to detect silence rather than sound, altering music to accommodate voice, and power management. Up to ten patents are supposedly being infringed upon, but AMR was included in the GSM standard back in ‘98, so you have to wonder how it will all end up. WiAV only actually owns two of the offending patents, while they’re dragging their liscensor, Mindspeed, into the case to defend the rest of the technologies. On the whole, it sounds like this is a shaky case already, and probably won’t get too far. If you’re fluent in legalese, you can take a look at some of the court papers here.

Telus is offering two BlackBerry 8330s for the price of one ($149.99 on a three year plan), and all you have to do is sign up for a share plan and e-mail. Colour swaps and price cuts are a few ways for CDMA carriers to pre-empt the BlackBerry Bold coming up for GSM competitors, and a two-for-one sale could equally sway anyone on the lookout for a BlackBerry in the near future. Any Canadian couples out there looking to take the BlackBerry plunge together should swing by their local Telus store to check it out, or take a look at the Telus online store.

Well, so much for the whole Kickstart thing. While many of us thought it was a quality name for RIM’s first flip phone offering, it appears the name is dead. Documentation suggests that they will go with the ol’ trusty name of Pearl, according to Cell Phone Signal. It will be the Pearl 8220. This actually makes sense in a way. Back in May, we looked at the differences between the Kickstart and the Pearl, and it didn’t amount to much.
The information gets better. According to Kevin, it will launch on Rogers in Canada. Further, Cell Phone Signal says that both T-Mobile and AT&T will get the device in the U.S., despite the carrier’s disfavor with RIM.
Like the latest version of the Pearl, the flip phone will feature an 8220 model, with WiFi for T-Mobile, and an 8210 model, with GPS for AT&T. Still no word on launch date, though. Given the avalanche of information from the past few days, though, you have to figure something is in the offing.

Review: Pop Cap Game’s Chuzzle
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars 10/10
Link: www.bplay.com
Cost: $9.99 from bplay
By far the greatest game ever released for your BlackBerry! In my humble opinion of course! - Nathan
I recently had the chance to play around with Pop Cap Game’s Chuzzle, from bplay. This game is made by the same people that brought you Bejewled and Zuma. Let me first start off by saying that this has got to be the best game I have ever played on my BlackBerry! This game has won a slew of awards, including, “Casual Game of the Year!” (2003 Digital Entertainment & Media Excellence Awards) it even ranks as bplay’s all time number 6 purchased game. And now, a BerryReview Editor’s Choice Award!
“Chuzzles are googly-eyed little balls of fur that giggle, squeak, and sneeze as you poke and push them across the board”. The game is fairly simple, match up 3 or more of the same colored Chuzzles to make them disappear. Earn bonus points for: popping 3 or more at a time, popping a Mega Chuzzle, popping a locked Chuzzle and completing a level. Sounds pretty simple, huh? Well, add in Mega Chuzzles, locked Chuzzles and hard to come by rainbow Chuzzles and you have yourself a great game!
Moving takes place a row at a time, either up and down or side to side. If there is a single locked Chuzzle in the row, moving of that row cannot take place. Also, if a row contains a Mega Chuzzle, both rows will move and the rows will not wrap around to the other side (it’s actually quite amusing to watch the Chuzzles bump the wall!) Run out of moves and the game will scramble the Chuzzles for you, but watch out, you are only given a limited number of scrambles and then it’s GAME OVER.
This game is not one that you will soon grow tired of. With 4 different game choices: Classic, MindBender, Expert and Zen. Classic is the starting point for the game, with tons of available moves, fewer locks and more scrambles. Classic will certainly get you hooked and allow you to learn the game. Expert is the same as classic, except much harder! Expert will certainly get your mind thinking, and keep you hooked. Zen is probably my favorite mode of the game, Zen games never end. You can keep going as long as you want to. Mindbender is a variation of the game all together, almost the Rubix Cube of Chuzzle. Align the Chuzzles to match the picture to pass the level.
While playing the different games, you will hit milestones that the game has been programmed to recognize. As you reach these milestones, you receive trophies. There are 22 trophies in all. These range from simple (playing an entire game without using hints) to near impossible (a million Chuzzles popped!) The last trophy is earned when you have received the other 21 trophies. Although I can’t imagine anyone doing this!
Pros:
Cons:
RIM don’t want to miss with the BlackBerry Bold. They want to cover every single detail of the device, ringtones included. That being said they’ve commissioned former drummer for The Police, Stewart Copeland, to create an array of “smartphone soundtrack” for the BlackBerry Bold.
Copeland has creating a unique five-note melody “theme” for the just-launched smartphone, which was later expanded into a percussive minute-long track simply named “Bold” that’s preloaded into the device’s “Sample Songs” folder. In addition, a softer version with a fade-in is used as an “alarm tone”, while six variations (excerpts form various parts of the Bold theme) are available as ringtones.
Want to hear how this sounds? Hop over to APCmag.com where you can listen to The Bold theme, Bold alarm and Bold ringtones…

I have always envied Koreans since they get to watch TV anywhere using their cellphones. I think it would be pretty cool to watch TV on my BlackBerry while sitting on the train. On the other, hand mobile TV has yet to even make a dent in the US. MobiTV just announced that they have 4 million subscribers so I guess somebody is using it. I tried the re-branded MobiTV service on a Sprint 8330 and it worked quite well even though it was slightly grainy and slow to load. However, the pricing for Sprints TV service was way out of my range for casual use and the pricing structure was truly confusing.
There are also already 3 completely incompatible mobile TV technology standards that I know of currently including DMB, DVB-T, and MediaFLO on top of the companies like MobiTV that stream it over the internet. Toshiba has already thrown in the towel in Europe with regards to mobile TV in Europe and Nokia is wondering when it will ever take off. I think Don Reisinger summed up the whole situation well in his Mashable article titled “Why Mobile TV is a total waste of time.”
Still, the upcoming SlingPlayer application has me excited since it would mean that I could watch regular cable on my BlackBerry. That is, if the application is ever released (more on that in another post).
So I have to ask. Are you interested in mobile TV or you just couldn’t care any less about it? If so, what flavor of mobile TV are you interested in?

Wir haben soeben eine Email erhalten. Eine neue Beta Version des Task Programms TaskMailer ist verfügbar. TaskMailer scheint sich in Kürze zu einem beliebten Programm entwickelt zu haben. Zwei zentrale Funktionen definieren TaskMailer:
Hier die Nachricht über die nächste Beta Version 1.2.0:
Soeben haben wir Beta Version 1.2.0 von TaskMailer fertiggestellt. Mit dieser Version werden eine Reihe kleinerer Bugs beseitig und neue Features hinzugefügt, die bisherige Teilnehmer des Beta Tests sich gewünscht hatten. Auch die neue Version ist im Rahmen eines öffentlichen, kostenlosen und freien (frei, wie Frei-Bier) Beta Test verfügbar. Wer teilnehmen will kann jetzt Taskmailer Beta 1.2.0 herunterladen. Die einzige Gegenleistung die wir uns von unseren Beta Testern Wünschen, ist es uns auf Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten hinzuweisen und noch mehr Funktionen vorzuschlagen, die eine effiziente und reibungslose Nutzung im Business Alltag ermöglichen.
Verbesserungen in 1.2.0:
- Nochmals schlankeres Design als 1.1.0.
- 2 Klicks (Programm-Öffnen-Klick, Task-Speichern-Programm-Schliessen-Klick) reichen.
- Versenden des neuen Tasks als Email, ohne Zusatzklicks.
- Email Adresse des Empfängers ist direkt eingebbar. Versenden geschieht im Hintergrund.
- Versenden über das Email Programm ist weiter möglich
- Task Emails in der Deutschen Version sind nun auch lokalisiert
- Ein Options Menu erlaubt das Einstellen der Schriftgröße
Bugfixes in 1.2.0
- Ein Task Prioritäts Bug wurde gefixt
- Ein Problem mit der Sommerzeit in manchen Zeitzonen wurde behoben
Wer jetzt die TaskMailer Beta herunterladen will, hier ist der Link: TaskMailer Beta Program
Hier eine schematische Illustration wie Tasks erstellt und an Kollegen verschickt werden:
Das Programm kann gerne in unserem Forum (Englisch) diskutiert werden: BlackBerryInsight Productivity Software Forum!

Last week, we asked you what secondary feature you used the most on your BlackBerry. We asked you to ignore the basic features such as email, calendar, and other PIM tasks and focus outside of the core BlackBerry feature set. The results are in (over 500 responses) and I find them quite interesting.
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.First of all, Web browsing took the crown in the poll with 29% of the vote. This most likely means that the upcoming full HTML browser in the Bold will be a big hit. RSS readers took second place with a thin margin at 18%. This truly surprised me. I guess Viigo and FreeRange are doing something right! Instant messaging took close third with 18%. This clearly spells it out for RIM. They need to get their act together and release ALL their clients on ALL carriers. GPS mapping came out 4th with 14% of the vote. It shows that GPS & Google mobile maps are truly a hit on the BlackBerry.
On the other hand, I was surprised to see that the BlackBerry media player and Facebook/Flickr came in 5th & 6th. The media player & Facebook were RIM’s big selling points to consumers. What happened? Document editing & creation took last with only 1% of the vote. Maybe Documents To Go will rectify this soon when everybody has OS 4.5.
Once again thank you for sharing your opinions!
NOTE: I know many of you wanted to rank the results in order, but we are still working on a way to do that.

Es ist noch gar noch so lange her, seit die ersten Blackberry Bold Bilder im Internet auftauchten, jetzt is der Bold, neben anderen beliebten Blackberry Modellen, bereits bei T-Mobile, also bei der Deutschen Telekom erhältlich. Jedoch ist der Blackberry Bold anderen Modellen erheblich überlegen in Geschwindigkeit, Bildschirmauflösung und neuen Technologien wie integrietem GPS, EDGE und HSDPA, um nur einige technische Eckdaten zu nennen.
Blackberry Bold in Deutschland
Die Deutsche Telekom hat es geschaft den Blackberry Bold als erstes auf den Deutschen Markt zu bringen, ob und wann das Wunderwerk Kanadischer Technik auch bei anderen bekannten Deutschen Anbietern wie O2 oder Vodafone im Laden steht ist ubekannt. Vermutlich kann es sich nur um Wochen handeln, bis der Blackberry Bold bei Vodafone, O2 und anderen Anbietern verfügbar ist.
Die Deutsche Telekom bietet den Blackberry Bold mit einer Reihe von verschiedenen Tarifen an, der Nutzer hat dei Möglichketi verschiedene Tarifoptionen seinen eigenen Bedürfnissen anzupassen. Dafür muss aber auch gesagt werden, dass die verfügbaren Tarif auf dem bekannten Telekom Niveau sind, also über dem Preis was man bei anderen Anbietern zahlt.
Will man den Blackberry Bold einzeln kaufen, so kann man das bei der Telekom ebenfalls für rund 460 Euro tun, allerdings ist dieses Gerät dann mit dem nicht gerade attraktiven Telekom Branding versehen. Ungebrandete Blackberry Bold Geräte wurden inzwischen bei Ebay gesichtet, für mehr als 1000 Euro. Da muss man sich überlegen was man braucht.
Blackberry Bold in Österreich
Gleichzeitig mit dem Start in Deutschland, is der Blackberry Bold auch in Österreich bei T Mobile verfügbar. Offensichtlich will RIM den BOLD im gesamten Deutschsprachigen Raum verfügbar machen. Österreich hat bereits jetzt etwa 80000 Blackberry Nutzer, tendenz steigend. Will man seinen Blackberry Bold in Österreich kaufen so hat man gute Karten. Nach T-Mobile werden 2 weitere Anbiter in Österreich den Bold in wenigen Wochen ebenfalls im jeweiligen Sortiment haben. Mobilkom Austria hat angekündigt den Blackberry Bold in kürze an Endkunden zu verkaufen, inklusive Zusatzdienste wie SAP Anwendungs Zugriff. Im Herbst will Anbieter “One” ebenfalls ins Blackberry Geschäft einstiegen.
Blackberry Bold Technologie im Anmarsch
Der Blackberry Bold führt eine Reihe von technischen Neuerungen im Mark ein. Ein GPS Empfänger ist zur weltweiten satelitenunterstützten Ortsbestimmung vorhanden, genauso wie verschiedene Technologien um mobile Breitbandnetzwerke zum uneingeschränkten Datentransfer zu nutzen. Beginnend bei dem alten Standard GPRS bis zu den aktuellen EDGE und HSDPA Standarts ist alles vorhanden was man braucht um unterwegs farbenfrohe und datenintensive Webseiten flüssig zu laden und zu geniessen.
Der Blackberry Bold bietet auch eine wesentlich höhere Bildschirmauflösung von 480 * 320 Pixeln, also halbe VGA Auflösung. Damit lassen sich eine Reihe von platzverbrauchenden Anwendungen endlich sinnvoll umsetzen. Lästiges scrollen bei nicht mobil optimierten Websiten reduziert sich auf ein akzeptables Minimum.
In Sache Batterielaufzeit bilded der Blackberry Bold einen krassen Gegensatz zum iPhone, das seine Nutzer mit ständig leerer Batterie plagt. Der Bold bringt 500 Stunden, also mehr als 20 Tage, auf die Waage. Auch die Sprechzeit ist astronomisch: 300 Minuten, also 5 Stunden, erlaubt dieses Gerät Gespräche zu halten. Umfangreichen Telefonkonferenzen sind dabei keine Grenzen gesetzt, was vor allem Manager freuen wird.
Einen umfassenden Vergleich der technischen Merkmale von iPhone 3G und Blackberry Bold gibt es hier.
Zusammenfassung
Der Blackberry Bold hat es endlich geschaft dank der Deutschen Telekom, bzw. T-Mobile, den Deutschen Markt zu erreichen und bringt eine Reihe technischer Verbesserungen und Neuerungen auf den Markt. Der Bold bietet eine gute Gelegenheit sich mit Blackberry Technologie vertraut zu machen, der er nicht nur eine kleine Erweiterung der Vorgängermodelle ist, sondern eine neues Level definiert. Sowohl technisch als auch von der Optik her ein Großartiges Gerät.
