Likely to be called the Pearl 9100 when it's finished, the new model has a sleeker design reminiscent of the Storm2 but with an optical trackpad like newer BlackBerries. The Pearl's familiar SureType keyboard is still present in the CrackBerry shots, but the new model should also add 3G for the ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/20/pearl.9100.sleeker.faster/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:35:00 GMT 3G BlackBerry Curve 9300 to carry large screen? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/09/bberry.curve.9300.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/blackberrycurve8900-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />RIM's 3G adaptation of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 will represent more than a minor change if a leak through BGR is authentic. Nicknamed Gemini, the Curve 9300 would reportedly be stylistically similar to the 8900 but come with a larger screen with a higher resolution than the 480x360 used today. It would also have a faster processor and is likely to keep both the GPS and Wi-Fi in addition to tri-... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/09/bberry.curve.9300.leak/ Mon, 09 Feb 2009 12:35:00 GMT CDMA BlackBerry Pearl Flip due next month? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/cdma.pearl.flip.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/blackberrypearlflip8220.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />RIM's BlackBerry Pearl Flip could be available in a version for CDMA networks as early as next month. Alleged sources of BlackBerrySync today claim the previously GSM-only clamshell will be launched on CDMA as the Pearl Flip 8230 and would debut first on Canadian provider Telus as early as February with a "very reasonable" price as well as the same black and pink colors as the phone only availabl... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/cdma.pearl.flip.rumor/ Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:00:00 GMT Fido to carry BlackBerries after all? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/12/fido.blackberry.leak.again/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/blackberrypearl.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Rogers' sub-label Fido may carry BlackBerries after all, a new leak to BGR indicates. Multiple Fido staffers now say the provider is about to start training for sales and support this week and thus that a formal launch is a matter of weeks away. The tips also suggest the carrier will just begin service with now two years old, original Pearl 8100 and will likely omit the Pearl Flip 8220 for the i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/12/fido.blackberry.leak.again/ Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:45:00 GMT RIM patent would lead to swing-out SureType pad http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/26/rim.fold.suretype.patent/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0812/blackberryfold-outpatent.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />RIM on Christmas published a patent filing that hints at an attempt to overcome some of the size limitations of the BlackBerry Pearl and Pearl Flip. Describing the design as an "appearance adaptable" keypad, the method would have the appearance of a normal BlackBerry number pad but contain hinged sections that fold out past the normal dimensions of the phone to provide a larger SureType keyboard ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/26/rim.fold.suretype.patent/ Fri, 26 Dec 2008 18:00:00 GMT Rogers roadmap leak shows 3G Pearl Flip, more http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/26/rogers.fido.roadmap.2009/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0812/blackberrykickstart-rogersleak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />An initial 2009 roadmap for phones at Canadian provider Rogers and its sub-label Fido has leaked and provided clues not only to devices coming to the West for the first time but a new BlackBerry device. A new Pearl Flip will represent a quick turnaround for RIM and will add HSPA-based 3G for faster Internet access; it will also be the first non-QWERTY phone from the company to have both GPS and W... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/26/rogers.fido.roadmap.2009/ Fri, 26 Dec 2008 13:10:00 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 iPhone 3G edges RAZR for No. 1 in world ad ranks http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/19/iphone.3g.tops.admob/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's second-wave push for the iPhone has already made it the most popular phone on the web, a study of October data from AdMob indicates.
