It’s probably too late for RIM to launch these white smartphones right here. Instead of the Bold and the Curve 8520 you could very well choose a Bold 2 or a Storm 2. However the white versions will be also available at some point in the very near future. The white Bold 9000 will be available from AT&T starting October 18 while the white Curve 8520 should already be available in T-Mobile stores.

There are no prices available for the white Bold but the white Curve will cost $129.99 after a $170 instant discount and with a new contract. Anyone excited about this angelic BlackBerry smartphones?

The next Bold version, also known as the BlackBerry 9700 Onyx is apparently coming from two U.S. carriers this month. Both T-Mobile and AT&T will launch the Bold 2 on, or around October 21. The phone will be available in the following weeks although there are no details regarding prices from neither AT&T nor T-Mobile. The Bold has been, and still is, one of the most popular phones launched by RIM so far which means that we’re probably going to love the Bold 2 as well. What’s the next phone that you’re most likely to buy? The Bold 2 or the Storm 2?

One of the most famous internet radio services belongs to AOL radio, which is powered by CBS Radio, and their latest addition is a new release specifically for the BlackBerry Bold. Sadly it seems like they forgot to include other BlackBerry devices, but maybe that will happen in the near future.

Anyhow, owners of a BlackBerry Bold can now take advantage of the AOL Radio, which includes over 250 stations and more than 150 CBS local + HD stations. On top of all the stations, you can also create bookmarks, view the recently played stations, skip songs, and lastly, find the CBS radio stations in your area via GPS.

More information at the AOL Radio Blog.

Only a few days ago we saw the official press photo of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 leaked to the public and today we find out that Canadians are also preparing for this RIM phone. Besides the 9700 another BlackBerry has been spotted in Rogers’ upgrade system. The Curve should be available early next month while the Bold will retail sometime in late October. You can also expect the Curve to cost somewhere below $100 on contract while the new Bold’s price will match the price of the Bold 9000.

T-Mobile must surely be pissed that this info got leaked ahead of its time. The press release picture here has been revealed along with some of the features of the future BlackBerry Bold 9700.

The phone will sport a traditional full QWERTY keyboard, a new optical trackpad, AWS 3G, WiFi and GPS. While the phone has already been leaked, we still have no idea when T-Mobile is going to release it but you should probably expect it to arrive sometime in November. The price is also undisclosed.

In case you’re not going to wait for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, then maybe the Storm 2 9550 is the next BlackBerry in your life. And the phone has decided to star in a brand new video.

Check out the video above and you’ll see for yourself that the phone is a lot better than its predecessor. Sure we like the backlit buttons, the metal battery door and the chrome but what we really like is the SurePress screen which will only respond to your touch when the phone is in use. And the Storm 2 seems to be a pretty fast device especially since the OS in the video is not the final version. You have lots of memory to play with, great speakers, a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and BlackBerry Messenger.

The Storm 2 looks better and better and while we don’t want to presume it’s going to be an iPhone killer we sure expect it to be quite popular among RIM fans and not only. We’re just hoping that the phone in the video is the real thing. After all, why shouldn’t it be?

After we’ve just seen a white BlackBerry Bold emerge from virtually nowhere, we have now spotted a different Bold on Bell’s inventory. This Bold however is a totally new one and it’s probably a lot cooler. While we don’t have that many details about the BlackBerry Bold 9700 we know that Bell is certainly getting ready to launch it. As you can see in the picture, the HSPA Bold 9700 is featured on Bell’s inventory but that doesn’t mean it’s coming in the very near future. The phone could be available only in a few months since Bell phones usually appear on inventory lists way before actually getting launched.

At this point in the mobile world, RIM’s BlackBerry Bold is so last year. The phone was launched in 2008 but since then RIM has announced lots of new Berries to play with. If you must insist with the Bold then take a second to consider a white version of it. Sure it’s the same phone under a differently colored hood, but it looks totally original. The Bold in the picture here was apparently sent by RIM to the York University in Canada where Telus and Wind happen to do some testing from time to time. We have no idea if and when a white BlackBerry Bold will be launched but we’re totally going to keep you updated.

While the Blackberry Bold has been on AT&T for some time now, the 8900 was just introduced to the service but regardless, both phones are getting a price drop.

Originally priced at $299.99 the Bold will be getting a price drop of $100 to $199.99 while the 8900 gets dropped from $199.99 to $149.99.

These are both welcome price drops considering they are 2 highly sought after phones. Perhaps RIM is looking to boost their market share before Apple drops a new iPhone?

The N97 looks great and until today I bet that lots of people were getting their budgets approved in order to get it. But today is a sad day for all those of us that fell in love with Nokia’s new flagship phone. The handset seems ready to disappoint us with a weak ARM 11 processor running at only 434MHz. That’s only 65MHz more than the 5800 XpressMusic and surely not enough for our mobile needs. The N97 comes with an impressive price tag so we were expecting a much better processor. Let’s not forget that the Pre clocks at around 600MHz or that the BlackBerry Bold launched last year has a 624MHz processor. I won’t even mention the TG01 which will be dazzling us with a 1GHz processor. Whoops, I just did! So let us hear the defendant speak! Nokia?

To mark the 100th birthday of the store, Selfridges has commissioned RIM to make a limited edition Blackberry Bold. The back of the phone is colored in Selfridges trademark pantone 109 yellow (bright yellow). Each of the handsets which are numbered from one to ten cost a hefty £1000 and come with VIP support.

The UK department store has confirmed that it has already sold six of the 10 limited edition yellow BlackBerry Bold handsets. In addition to RIM, the department store is also urging on other brands to design limited edition products to mark the 100th birthday of this elite store.

The Blackberry Bold 9000 is one of the most connectable BlackBerry models out there and also one of the few to support a variety of Wi-Fi speeds and HSDPA. Its internet and messaging features are quick but you should be mindful new BlackBerry email and instant message accounts are needed for the speediest access to messaging and those not wanting to part with their personal accounts should consider this. Regrettably the Internet browser, email and instant messaging all have a dull black and white lay out.

The Bold’s video and picture quality are great, so it is rather disappointing that the camcorder records grainy images and the camera isn’t more effective. Measuring 4.48 inches tall, 2.6 inches wide and 0.59 inches thick, the Bold isn’t exactly palm-sized unless you have very large hands. Overall, the phone makes messaging and navigating a breeze, but all of the special features may be more than one needs and it might be too large for some folks.

The BlackBerry Bold is available for free from AT&T. All you need to do is to get one that’s refurbished and a new 2-year contract. The phone was available before for $299.99 if new and $199.99 if refurbished. The new deal will help you save a few bucks but it will still tie you to AT&T for a couple of years. The deal is available for online purchases and after today you might not be able to get it. So hurry and act on it if it sounds interesting enough to you. On the other hand, the BlackBerry 9630 Niagara is on the way so you might be better off waiting for the new smartphone to arrive.

RIM is going to do everything in their power to make its customers happy. At the request of Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo, RIM has decided to add a fourth band of 3G to the Bold. That means the Japanese customers will be able to enjoy a quad-band 3G Bold. The device has gone on sale this weekend and it will offer 2100, 1900, 850 and 800 MHz bands for UMTS/HSDPA connectivity. Are we to understand that RIM is willing to add that fourth 3G band to any market? Is anyone else feeling left out?
