Personalization for mobile phones has become a common need but the problem is not all phones may have that privilege. And while we have heard personalized MailTones for the iPhone some days ago, the Blackberry smartphones now have a version of its own. This was made possible by Electric Pocket, providing an array of tones which should help Blackberry phone owners assign preferred tones for people located in their address book who send them emails.

MailTones is compatible for the BlackBerry Storm, Tour, Curve, Bold and Pearl, and is now available at MailTones.com and all MobiHand-powered stores for $2.99.

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.

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?

We told you a long time ago that RIM was going to launch a certain BlackBerry called Atlas. Unfortunately for anyone anxious to see a brand new BlackBerry phone the Atlas is not new at all. The Atlas is just a Curve 8900 that’s able to make and receive calls in a CDMA network. The phone has leaked already but that doesn’t necessarily mean that RIM will launch it really soon. So check the picture on your left and spot the differences. Which one do you think the Atlas is? The one on the left or the one on the left?

I shouldn’t do too much explaining but just in case you didn’t get it the first time I will. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 aka the Gemini is now available from Amazon for just 1 cent. That’s right, you can get the Gemini for $0.01 which means you save $298.98. So don’t even think about paying $130 or $49 for this totally new RIM phone. Amazon will deliver it straight to your door for 1 cent. Unfortunately the new contract is still mandatory!

Besides that new BlackBerry Gemini that’s now available, T-Mobile has another hot phone waiting for you in its stores. The myTouch 3G is going to cost you $199.99 with a new 2-year agreement, but it’s definitely an Android device worth considering as you’re next smartphone. The phone is also available online and in partner locations.

And if you happen to live around San Francisco then you should check out the skydiving show that’s going to take place at noon in honor of T-Mobile’s myTouch3G launch. What do you say, ready to get it? Or are you waiting for Sprint’s HTC Hero?

The day has finally come folks! T-Mobile has the Gemini ready for you for just $129.99. As you can see, the suggested retail price is $299.99 so you save instantly $170. The question is, wouldn’t you rather pay $49 for the same Curve 8520 sold now at Walmart? No matter where you purchase your Curve 8520, you’ll still have to get a T-Mobile contract. And since we’re talking about an entry-level Berry here, you might just be better off paying what Walmart is asking for it. What do you think?

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is now available online too from T-Mobile. RIM’s latest phone will be “coming soon”. You’ll be able to order your Gemini starting with August 5 but there are no prices available yet. Will it have anything to do with that $48.88 Walmart price we’ve seen earlier? With such a price tag it’s almost impossible not to bump into the new Curve in a Walmart store and decide to pick one up. However, if most of your handset shopping is done online then check T-Mobile website in about two days to see how much T-Mobile is going to ask for a brand new BlackBerry Curve 8520.

In case you think T-Mobile is charging way too much for a device that doesn’t do 3G and comes with only a 2-megapixel camera then you should go to Walmart to purchase your BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini. Walmart will offer this new Berry for just $48.88 (ok, almost $50) which is a much better price than T-Mobile’s $129.99 tag.

Check out the screenshot here folks! There’s the proof we were looking for! T-Mobile is indeed going to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini on August 5 but the carrier isn’t officially saying anything just yet. The screenshot here is apparently a leaked T-Mobile document in which you can find the release date and the specs of the new Curve. And since that internal document did leak to the public, why can’t the page containing the future prices be made public? Or are we to assume the page here is just a fake, photoshopped picture?

In case you’re waiting for T-Mobile to start selling the Gemini, we have some good news for you. Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet it looks like T-Mobile is getting ready to offer you the BlackBerry Curve 8520 on August 5. As you may already know, T-Mobile has unleashed its BlackBerry Night at the Movies, a special event focused on the Gemini. Therefore an August launch will only sound like a logical step to take. All we need now is T-Mo’s confirmation press release!

You already know that T-Mo is going to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8520. What you don’t know is that RIM and T-Mobile are preparing extensively for the launch. BlackBerry Night at the Movies is a series of 51 parties which will start on July 20 and continue for about two weeks. The events are meant to celebrate the launch of the Curve 8520.

The parties will include a movie screening, contests, prizes and more surprises. The Gemini, that’s how we like to call the 8520, will be also unveiled at each party.

Can we expect T-Mobile to launch the Gemini during these Night at the Movies parties? Or will the phone be available immediately after?

It seems that a leaked document has shown two new BlackBerry colorways coming to Sprint in the near future. As you can see, there will be an Inferno Orange 8330 soft launching today with a Red BlackBerry Curve 8350i launching towards the end of this month.

With phones such as the Bold and Tour circulating, will these two new colorways spark enough interest to increase BlackBerry Curve sales? I mean, the Inferno Orange does sound enticing, don’t you think?

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?
