I am still in awe after what I've been reading and writing about the brand new RIM creation. I am talking about the BlackBerry 9000. The Bold. Possibly one of the worthiest adversary of the future 3G iPhone. Besidest those two, there's also HTC Touch Diamond, which has to be mentioned out of fairness to the game. And this one will also have their piece of the pie as it's an outstanding piece of engineering.

According to rumors the future of RIM is even brighter. The BlackBerry 9500 Thunder is coming to town. It's the next generation of BlackBerries. All touch and no keyboard (I hope purchase of an additional keyboard is going to be an option). What will the Touch do? Well it will be served by Verizon WIreless in the USA and by Vodafone in Europe. What will it deliver? 3G EV-DO Rev. C / GSM HSPA support, everything else and more! That's about all the details we have for now but we'll be here to mark more specs down when Touch becomes available later on this year.

Following the recent Blackberry Bold announcement, AT&T said they are going to be the first US carrier to deliver this new slim beauty. RIM announced that the Bold will be available later this year from various carriers and this appear to be true as T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon will sell the device too. But AT&T are to lead the way. They are bragging about their 3G support which is supposed to be wider than others. I'd assume that's what RIM wants also for their customers. To take advantage to the fullest of 3G wherever they might be.

BlackBerry 9000 has been officially released today. What's Bold about that? Well Bold is what RIM called their new toy. From now we will refer to it as the new BlackBerry Bold.
It's another remarkable creation and it's the first BlackBerry with full tri-band HSDPA support and I'm sure more will follow. It comes with GPS and WiFI support where available, and it has of course the full QWERTY keyoard (customizable to AZERTY or QWERTZ for some languages).

The Bold is powered up by a 624 MHz mobile processor and has a 128MB flash memory completed by a 1GB on board storage memory.A microSD slot is there for those of you who need more space for their applications, videos and music. The LCD is half-VGA (480x320) for a better experience. Visualize photos, websites and video like never before. The built-in 2 megapixel camera with video recording capability, built-in flash and 5x digital zoom will come in handy when you will need that fast picture. And for smoother web surfing, besides the 3G and WiFI I already mentioned there's a mouse like track-ball.

Are you a talented smart phone application developer? Then you will be pleased to find out BlackBerry is thinking about you. Well not that specifically, but still! Tomorrow in Orlando BlackBerry will announce the $150 Million BlackBerry Partners Fund backed up by Research In Motion, the RBC and Thomson Reuters.

This is actually great news for all smart cell phone users out there. More money means better quality of next applications designed for future BlackBerries. That also mean competition will have to do the same thing. Google started a $10 million fund in November and Apple have come up with the $100 million iFund in March. Besides competing for better hardware products they all realize the software is so important too for their future in the mobile business.

After Verizon, it is now Sprint's turn to announce the availability of the BlackBerry Curve 8330 on their network. This smartphone means business with its email-centric features supporting up to 10 POP3/IMAP email accounts and support for Sprint's 3G EV-DO network. The phone sports a QWERTY keypad and trackball navigation with a generous 240x320-pixel display. Along with Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, the phone also features a 2-megapixel autofocus camera with video recording capabilities and a 1GB card is included to provide storage.

The BlackBerry Curve 8330 will cost you $179.99 after a rebate with a two-year agreement or $599.99 without a contract.

BlackBerry Curve 8320 Smartphone has reached Jordan. Employing powerful features, the 8320 is an ideal cell phone to remain connected. It features RIM's full-QWERTY design and a Golden finish. A large, ultra-bright 320x240 colour display delivers vibrant imagery. It is integrated with a two MP Camera with 5x digital zoom, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, video player, music player and a microSD/SDHC card slot. The BlackBerry Curve 8320 smartphone supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE. For expanded coverage the Smartphone supports Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) connectivity. To know more about Blackberry 8320 click

Much more has been revealed about the only ever slider from BlackBerry for now, the Kickstart. BGR has gone ahead and let out some more information on the Kickstart. For starters, it confirms the camera to be 2 megapixels and that the keypad is SureType of the "next gen" variety. The flipper will work on quad-band 850/900/1800/1900Mhz GSM networks and run on BlackBerry OS 4.6. While the external screen displays at 160x128 pixels, the internal display is apparently of 240x320 pixel resolution. The external display is said to be monochrome with a soft glow around the bezel when active. Plus, there's WiFi and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

From the picture, you can clearly see where RIM got its inspiration for the Kickstart, gunning at a new segment of people, which it had previously ignored. What remains to be seen now is how well this new design is received when it is expected to be available on T-Mobile starting in September.

BlackBerry handsets are especially designed for the professional class. AT&T Inc. recently released the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 smartphone with built-in GPS. The cell phone comes with an integrated AT&T Navigator that offers on-screen directions with colorful 3-D moving maps. The Navigator makes the users aware of traffic speeds and incidents via voice commands and on screen prompts.

"The BlackBerry Pearl 8110's stylish design and consumer features blend well with the productivity features for managing your day while away from home or the office," said Michael Woodward, vice president, Business Voice/Data and Wireless Products, for AT&T's wireless unit.

The New BusinessTalk Plans and BlackBerry Professional Software make it a versatile solution for the high end commercial class. The display of this Smartphone support more than 65,000 colors and comes with the capacity to automatically adjust brightness as per surrounding environment. The BlackBerry Pearl 8110 is the first BlackBerry cellphone to provide free wireless download of YELLOWPAGES.COM Mobile application.

AT&T’s BlackBerry Pearl 8110 smartphone is available for immediate sale at a price of $149.99, with a two-year contract, unlimited data plan and $39.99 voice plan.
