BlackBerry 8900 Gets to Act Like a Hero

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Aug 21st 2009 No Comments

Themes are a natural thing now a days, especially for mobile phones. Because let's face it, no matter how awesome your phone is, some times you just want a change of pace. And while some companies may get all up-in-arms regarding themes making it to other devices, the truth is that themes don't hurt anyone. Seeing an HTC Hero theme placed over a jailbroken iPhone for example does not add some of the better features of the phone, like multi-tasking or the notifications bar. All it does is make the iPhone look different. And now it looks like the BlackBerry 8900 is ready to leap tall buildings in a single bound...

BlackBerry Curve 8520 gets official: T-Mobile USA and Vodafone UK

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jul 27th 2009 No Comments

RIM have officially announced the BlackBerry Curve 8520, the handset formerly known as the BlackBerry Gemini. Set to land on both T-Mobile USA and Vodafone UK next month, the Curve 8520 is the company’s latest non-3G smartphone, complete with a full hardware QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad for navigation and a 2-megapixel camera.

There’s also a 320 x 240 display, Bluetooth and WiFi. A microSD card slot and 3.5mm headphone jack round out the specifications, while the battery is good for 4.5hrs of talktime or 17 days of standby. While many may scoff at the absence of high-speed cellular connectivity, the success of other 2.5G BlackBerry handsets such as the Curve 8900 shows there’s still a demand for straightforward, solid messaging-centric smartphones.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 reviewed: okay for entry-level

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, May 5th 2009 No Comments

A pre-production BlackBerry Curve 8520 has fallen into the esteemed hands of CrackBerry, and they’ve done the honorable thing and thoroughly reviewed it. Intended as an entry-level handset, the EDGE-only Curve 8520 – aka the BlackBerry Gemini – isn’t going to impress in the smartphone playground when it comes to features, but that doesn’t stop it from being quietly competent when it comes to build and hand-feel.

AT&T set to get BlackBerry Curve 8900 in the summer

By Brenda Stokes on Monday, May 4th 2009 No Comments

blackberrycurve8900 lg 280x480 Well, it looks like AT&T is the next carrier in line to get their hands on the BlackBerry Curve 8900. This latest offering will be a serious update from the 8300 model with improved specs and performance expected.

T-Mobile and Rogers already have the latest Curve, which features a 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 480 x 360 display. It also has the newest BlackBerry operating system. The AT&T version of the BlackBerry 8900 will be a tad different, however.

Specifically, it won’t feature Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) support for VoIP. However, it will have AT&T Navigator, XM Radio Mobile and Yellow Pages. We don’t know how much the phone will cost on AT&T, but they are likely to keep it competitive with T-Mobile, which is currently priced at $149.99 with a two-year contract. The release date is also unknown, though expected to fall within the early summer months.

BlackBerry OS 5.0 gets pre-release video demo

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Apr 9th 2009 No Comments

A video demo of the upcoming BlackBerry OS 5.0 has been released, with a leaked version of the platform running on a Curve 8900. Anyone hoping for huge changes will be disappointed; there are some neat tweaks such as a new media memory display, trackball flicks through photo slideshows and changes to the browser which should make it more impressive against that on rival platforms.
