After we’ve seen the Samsung Omnia arriving at T-Mobile Germany, another hot smartphone of this year is going to hit the German market. The BlackBerry Bold has been announced to be available from T-Mobile. So let me get this straight: T-Mobile is going to offer the 3G iPhone, the Samsung Omnia and the BlackBerry Bold so far? I guess the Thunder is going to be offered by them too right?

We have more leaked photos of RIM’s Javelin. The BlackBerry Javelin is supposed to be one of the newest addition to the Berry family. While we still don’t have an official release date or a price, we can fantasize about it just by looking at its specs. That’s of course if we aren’t Apple people!

  • QWERTY keyboard
  • 480×360 LCD
  • Quad-band GSM/EDGE
  • GPS
  • WiFi
  • 3.2 megapixel camera
  • 4.6 OS platform

Imagine my surprise and astonishment today when I found myself reading two different sets of news about the BlackBerry Thunder. How’s that surprising? Well according to some, the Thunder is really enjoyable to use and ready to enter production. According to others, the Thunder really sucks and it won’t be hear for the next four or five months.

Well look here what the cat dragged in. These appear to be genuine leaked pictures of the newest RIM creation, the BlackBerry 9500 also known as the Thunder.

The impressive 360×480 touch display is the major upgrade RIM had in mind for us. Sure we will miss the full QWERTY keyboard but we’re not going to need it where we’re going. Aside from the ‘giant’ screen, yes it’s bigger than the iPhone’s, we will get the OS 4.7. Surely this is going to be the closest iPhone competitor so far. We’ve heard lots of rumors and we’re anxiously waiting for it to be released. As long as the Thunder will have a decent price and at least the same application support as the iPhone does, we’re sure to have one hell of a fight for mobile supremacy. HTC and Samsung beware! Your Touch Diamonds and Instincts or Omnias might be easily surpassed by the 9500.

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.

BlackBerry Curve 8320 from T-Mobile

T-Mobile and Research In Motion unveiled the new BlackBerry Curve 8320, touted as the first all-in-one handset to work with T-Mobile’s HotSpot @Home. The Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry Curve 8320 allows for in-home mobile coverage, something of an oxymoron around some parts of the nation. The Curve 8320 will be available in pale gold and titanium finishes, and features RIM’s smallest and lightest yet QWERTY handset design.

The BlackBerry Curve 8320 also features a 2 megapixel camera, and standard apps include audio and video players (supported formats include MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, MPEG4, H.263 and WMV). It is equipped with a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and offers a microSD memory card for expanding the available storage. Measuring 4.2″ x 2.4″ x 0.6″, the phone weighs in at 3.9 oz and is enabled for T-Mobile’s myFaves feature. On-board IM clients include support for AOL, Yahoo!, Windows Live, ICQ and Google Talk.

With features like speaker-independent voice recognition for voice activated dialing, calling someone is easier. The phone is a true quad-band GSM world phone, and comes with BlackBerry Maps as well. Priced at US $249.99 after rebates and service agreement.
