The handset will be available online starting on October 18th, and while pricing hasn't been announced, it is likely to mirror the black version's $200 contrat price. Specs are also unlikely to change, with the same HSPA-based 3G network support, integrated GPS and Wi-Fi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/13/first.white.blackberry.bold.due.from.att/ Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:25:00 GMT T-Mobile readying "Project Black?" http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/t.mobile.may.have.game.changer.news/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/samsungbeholdii-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />US carrier T-Mobile is preparing its staff for a major, mysterious update that could have an impact on other carriers, a rumor implies tonight. A development known as "Project Black" has received few details, as those attached to it have signed non-disclosure agreements, but it will supposedly be significant enough to move T-Mobile up in US market share from its usual fourth place. T-Mobile staf... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/t.mobile.may.have.game.changer.news/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:15:00 GMT Rogers BlackBerry Plans Show Curve 8900, Fido launch http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/26/rogers.fido.bberry.leaks/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/blackberrycurve8900.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Rogers' plans for its BlackBerry lineup will include both an aggressive launch of the Curve 8900 and an expansion of the smartphones to its budget brand Fido, tips from BGR suggest. The Canadian provider should get the 2G-only but GPS and Wi-Fi equipped device in January and will reportedly price it substantially under the Bold, offering it at $150 on a three-year plan with both voice and data.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/26/rogers.fido.bberry.leaks/ Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:15:00 GMT RIM may fall short of sales targets post-Storm http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/24/rim.falling.short.in.q3.08/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/blackberrystorm-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Research in Motion's heavily promoted BlackBerry Storm launch this Friday may not have been enough to save the company from a poor financial quarter, according to a new research note by Citi analyst Jim Suva. Although the Storm sold out at many Verizon stores since launch, Suva supports claims of a software-based delay and notes that many stores actually received significantly less units than exp... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/24/rim.falling.short.in.q3.08/ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:40:00 GMT BlackBerry Curve 8900 to hit UK late December http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/19/bberry.curve.8900.uk.decem/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/blackberrycurve8900.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The BlackBerry Curve 8900 was given its second major launch today with news that UK retailer Carphone Warehouse will be the next to pick up the RIM smartphone on December 20th. The choice of carrier and pricing haven't been named but will see Carphone as the exclusive third-party to carry the device, which resembles a smaller, 2G-only version of the BlackBerry Bold. The 480x320 display, GPS and ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/19/bberry.curve.8900.uk.decem/ Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:10:00 GMT BlackBerry Bold dips $100 CDN to fight iPhone? http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/31/bberry.bold.price.drop/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/blackberrybold-rogers2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Rogers or Research in Motion could be allowing major price cuts to the BlackBerry Bold in a bid to improve the smartphone's competitiveness against the iPhone, if a new update is an indicator. Best Buy Mobile Canada's listing for the 3G BlackBerry now shows the device dropping from its official $300 Canadian ($248 US) contract price to about $200 ($165), or a full third discount.

Although it would have technically been possible to include tri-band HSPA 3G to allow true world roaming, the American carrier has reportedly had all HSPA frequency support pulled save for its partner Vodafone's 2,100MHz band to discourage buyers from... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/31/verizon.axed.storm.wi.fi/ Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:15:00 GMT BlackBerry subs drop, hinge on Bold & Storm http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/24/bberry.subs.drop.fast/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/blackberrystorm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />BlackBerry subscription rates have dropped significantly and now leave Research in Motion dependent on its new devices to avoid a potentially damaging level of fall sales, a research note from AmTech Research analyst Rob Sanderson says today. He notes that weekly subscription rates have fallen by 20 percent from September to October and that forecasts of 2.9 million new BlackBerry users by the en... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/24/bberry.subs.drop.fast/ Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:10:00 GMT AT&T to launch BlackBerry Bold Nov. 4th http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/22/bberry.bold.att.on.nov.4th/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/blackberrybold-att.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T today finally announced a release date for the BlackBerry Bold on its network, giving the much-delayed phone to customers.

The internal message points to the first HSDPA BlackBerry for the US having a "latest ETA" of October 27th and thus sets a relatively firm date for its launch. However, the note leaves room for a potential last-minute delay or other factors that co... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/17/bberry.bold.att.27th.rumor/ Sat, 18 Oct 2008 03:55:00 GMT
