Although multiple past leaks had penned RIM's first touchscreen BlackBerry for an October launch, software problems have meant the device is only now entering the technical acceptance stage that approves phones for use on Verizon's network and should spend between three to four w... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/04/bberry.storm.delayed/ Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/08/bberry.thunder.oct.13.tip/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/blackberrythunder-medialeak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Verizon already has a formal name and a release date for the BlackBerry Thunder in its system, a leak of an inventory screen at BGR shows. The touchscreen rival to the iPhone is now formally referred to as the BlackBerry 9530 and is listed as on schedule for an October 13th release. The entry would coincide with multiple rumors of an October launch and would be set just five days later than a pr... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/08/bberry.thunder.oct.13.tip/ Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/05/iphone.closing.in.on.palm/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's iPhone user base is likely to have surpassed Palm in earnest with the iPhone 3G launch but will face a serious threat by BlackBerry creator Research in Motion shortly afterwards, says a new ChangeWave study. A poll of over 3,500 home users in June showed Apple climbing to 11 percent of active users, up significantly from nine percent in March. The statistic is just three percent below Pa... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/05/iphone.closing.in.on.palm/ Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/01/bberry.squeezed.out.at.att/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/blackberrybold-5.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Research in Motion and its BlackBerry smartphones on the verge of falling out of favor at AT&T in exchange for the iPhone, says an investment note from Credit Suisse's Kulbinder Garcha. The analyst notes that RIM's share of smartphone sales at AT&T, which have crested at 70 percent in June, are unlikely to remain at such high levels and instead are more likely to drop as AT&T shifts the brunt of ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/01/bberry.squeezed.out.at.att/ Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/29/bberry.thunder.oct.8.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/blackberrythunder-medialeak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The BlackBerry Thunder now has a specific release date and over-the-air music downloads, if a leak is found to be accurate. Research in Motion's first-ever touch BlackBerry is now purportedly due to launch with Verizon on October 8th and will have access to Verizon's version of RealNetworks' Rhapsody service. The feature may supply a technical advantage over the iPhone, which is both prevented f... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/29/bberry.thunder.oct.8.rumor/ Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/18/sony.ericsson.q2.2008/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/sony-ericssong700.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony Ericsson on Friday reported spring quarterly results that confirm a continued drop in the company's influence. The cellphone designer today said it has largely met its lowered predictions and shipped 24.4 million phones between April and June, or a two percent drop from the same season a year earlier. Net income for the company was also near-flat at the equivalent of $9.5 million, while the... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/18/sony.ericsson.q2.2008/ Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/17/canaccord.on.blackberry/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/blackberrybold-4.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The launch of the iPhone 3G have had no tangible impact on BlackBerry sales, according to a new research note by Canaccord Adams. Group analyst Peter Misek notes that the announcement of Apple's device on June 9th still led to BlackBerry maker Research in Motion enjoying a breakthrough the same month, with both sales and real activations of BlackBerries understood to have climbed between 20 to 30... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/17/canaccord.on.blackberry/ Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/16/bberry.thunder.for.october/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/blackberrythunder-medialeak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The BlackBerry Thunder is now considered Research in Motion's top priority, if a claim sent to BGR proves true. The Canadian company is said to be putting even the imminent BlackBerry Bold lower on its priority list to ensure that the touchscreen Thunder is ready for a "huge" US marketing effort starting in September, with a release for the exclusive carrier Verizon in mid-October.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/16/bberry.thunder.for.october/ Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/13/bberry.thunder.real.photos/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/blackberrythunder-leak2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Research in Motion's BlackBerry Thunder touchscreen phone has at last been shown in real-world photography, courtesy of a leak by Crackberry. The device is identical to user guide drawings and other escaped images and is dominated by its touch display; four buttons underneath let RIM hide many extra software functions in menus rather than having to expose them with always-on visible buttons, as w... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/13/bberry.thunder.real.photos/ Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/09/bberry.thunder.may.be.late/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/blackberrythunder-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Claims of a summer launch for the BlackBerry Thunder may be thwarted by a still very rough design, says an alleged Research in Motion insider speaking to BGR. Initially pitched as a near-term competitor for the iPhone 3G, the first touchscreen BlackBerry is described as "in no way shape or form" ready for a near-term launch and has glaring bugs that include a flawed on-screen keyboard and overall... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/09/bberry.thunder.may.be.late/ Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT
