| Unannounced BlackBerry Curve 9360 Gets Another Photo Shoot Posted: 03 Aug 2011 02:19 PM PDT With all of the craziness today in BlackBerry 7 announcements the Curve line was sorely underrepresented. Not to be forgotten the BlackBerry Curve 9360 showed up for a photo shoot done by OneMobileRing. There are loads of pictures of the device with its upgraded screen and new 800Mhz processor. Currently RIM has only announced 5 of their 7 planned BlackBerry 7 devices and the 9360 Apollo should be the 6th followed by the touch enabled Curve Orlando or 9790 Bellagio.

Ashley pointed out an interesting article in the forums where the Financial Post interviewed two RIM execs today. They spoke to Patrick Spence, RIM's new managing director of global sales and regional marketing, and Andrew Bocking, RIM's vice president of BlackBerry software about the new announcements today along with quite a few other topics. There is nothing really new being said here but it does help flesh out the story about RIM’s sales and marketing plans.

| Leaked T-Mobile Hungary Reseller Slide Shows White Bold 9900? Posted: 03 Aug 2011 10:35 AM PDT For those of you like me who love the white BlackBerry devices there is a bit of good news in the rumor mill. A Hungarian blog, BerryBlog.hu, caught a leaked screenshot from a Hungarian official reseller showing a T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900 in white and black variants. This points to some hope that a white version of the 9900 might come shortly after the black version. Here is to hoping! Now if only they would do Crimson Red like they did with the Curve 8310… I loved that color. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Sprint Confirms BlackBerry Bold 9930 & Torch 9850 For Fall Release Posted: 03 Aug 2011 09:35 AM PDT
We already heard from RIM that Sprint would be getting the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 but now we are hearing directly from Sprint. They have confirmed both devices for release this fall which is a little later than the August release we had rumored since fall is technically September-November. Here is what Sprint had to say about the launch:
Press release below: America's First BlackBerry 7 Smartphones Coming to Sprint This Fall BlackBerry Bold 9930 boasts thinnest design and widest QWERTY on a BlackBerry smartphone; BlackBerry Torch 9850 will be the first all-touch BlackBerry smartphone for Sprint customers OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), August 03, 2011 – Sprint (NYSE: S) announced an expansion of its robust portfolio of BlackBerry® smartphones with the fall availability of America's first two BlackBerry® 7 smartphones – BlackBerry® Bold™ 9930 and BlackBerry® Torch™ 9850 from Research In Motion (RIM). Specific pricing and availability will be provided closer to availability. Both new smartphones are powered by the next-generation BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 7, a performance-driven operating system designed to deliver the ultimate in communications, multimedia and productivity. Both smartphones also feature Liquid Graphics™ technology, a key new feature powered by BlackBerry 7 to deliver incredibly fast, smooth performance and a highly responsive touchscreen experience. They are also both powered by a 1.2GHz processor, offer 5MP cameras and are World Phone capable. "Sprint's incredibly loyal BlackBerry customers will appreciate the benefits of the BlackBerry 7 user experience on these two new smartphones – BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850," said Fared Adib, vice president – Product Development, Sprint. "BlackBerry 7 is an evolution that extends the ability to support our customers domestically and internationally as they juggle their busy personal and professional lives with one easy-to-use device. We are excited to continue our strong relationship with RIM through these new powerful devices." Two options – Super Thin or Full Touchscreen At just 10.5mm thick, the BlackBerry Bold 9930 smartphone is the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone ever. It features a 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen display, the widest QWERTY keyboard available on a BlackBerry smartphone and a trackpad for easy navigation. Key features of BlackBerry Bold 9930 include: BlackBerry® service with access to up to 10 supported business and personal email accounts, plus BlackBerry® Enterprise Server support for corporate email installations The sleek BlackBerry Torch 9850 smartphone will be the first full-touch BlackBerry smartphone from Sprint. It features a spectacular, new 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display, the largest ever on a BlackBerry smartphone, and trackpad for easy navigation. Key features of BlackBerry Torch 9850 include: BlackBerry® service with access to up to 10 supported business and personal email accounts, plus BlackBerry® Enterprise Server support for corporate email installations Enhancing the Experience with BlackBerry 7 BlackBerry 7 introduces a next-generation BlackBerry browser with a significantly faster, more fluid web browsing experience that is up to 40 percent faster than BlackBerry® 6 based smartphones and up to 100 percent faster than BlackBerry® 5 based smartphones1. The new BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 smartphones also feature Liquid Graphics technology, with each smartphone combining a dedicated high-performance graphics processor with a blazingly fast CPU and stunning high-resolution display to deliver an incredibly fast, smooth and responsive visual experience. Building upon the Universal Search feature introduced in BlackBerry 6, BlackBerry 7 expands the capability to include voice-activated search. This new capability makes it easier and more convenient to search for content on the smartphone or web. BlackBerry 7 also integrates BlackBerry® Balance™, which separates personal content from corporate content, giving users the freedom and flexibility to use the smartphone for personal email, Facebook®, Twitter®, multimedia, games and other apps, while satisfying the need for corporate data to be highly secure and manageable. BlackBerry Balance works in conjunction with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server 5.0.3, which provides a number of unique IT policy controls, such as wiping only corporate data or blocking work-related content and apps from being copied or forwarded to personal contacts. BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 use the Sprint 3G Network domestically and offer World Phone capability for international travel to nearly anywhere in the world. Sprint customers have the power to make or receive phone calls in more than 185 countries and access to BlackBerry® data services, including email, apps and web browsing in nearly 150 countries. Customers also have the option of using a third-party SIM for international voice and data services.

| NA Carriers Confirmed for Torch 9810, 9850, & 9860 – Verizon Suspiciously Missing? Posted: 03 Aug 2011 07:34 AM PDT
In the interviews with the project managers for the BlackBerry Torch 9810, 9850, & 9860 was an interesting bit of information. In it RIM confirmed the North American carriers for all three devices. The regular suspects are there and it does confirm the Torch 9810 as a AT&T exclusive in the USA. Check out the list of North American carriers for yourself and tell me if you see something missing:
Did you notice a big US carrier missing from that list? While Verizon could be holding out to make the announcement themselves we have already seen Verizon branded versions of the 9850. I know for a fact that Verizon is getting the 9930 but after getting the first and second Storm could it be they are not going to launch the redeeming Torch 9850?

They talk about how they made the all touch device and the design inspiration behind it. They also tapped the project manager for the BlackBerry Torch 9810 to talk about that device and how it refined the original Torch. Very good read all around.

| NFC Only Coming in BlackBerry Bold 9900 & 9930 OS 7 Devices? Posted: 03 Aug 2011 06:57 AM PDT I am not sure how we all missed this before but previous spec leaks for the BlackBerry Torch 9810, 9850, and 9860 said that the device had NFC. I noticed in RIM’s announcement this morning that NFC was nowhere to be seen for these devices which had me wondering. So I checked back to the FCC filings for the 9900/9930, 9810, and 9850/9860 and noticed something interesting. When looking over the Test Report for all 3 only the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 had a logged Near Field Communications test performed. The product pages also only list the 9900 as having NFC for "accessory pairing and smart tag reading/writing." Check out the filings for yourself:
I am not sure why RIM would not want this feature to have parity across all next gen BlackBerry devices but it has me scratching my head wondering why. I know the NFC is built into the battery cover for the 9900 but I just assumed they managed to hide it better in the 9810 and 9850/9860. What do you think of this? I was planning on getting the 9900 (GodBerry) either way but now it makes it truly the flagship BlackBerry. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Rumor: PlayBook Android Player Pushed to "Late Fall" Release? Posted: 03 Aug 2011 06:28 AM PDT While at BlackBerry World RIM was saying that the BlackBerry PlayBook Android Player would be coming in Late Summer along with the Native SDK. With August being late summer and still no announcement it looks like we may be having a later release for the Android Player. Engadget heard from a reliable source that the Android Player for the PlayBook wont be available in beta form until "Late Fall." With Fall being defined as September through November that could be a few months. That would be kind of sad because the early beta that leaked of the Android Player is actually pretty functional. This rumor goes against RIM’s official statement about the Android Player leak they made on July 22nd that said:
So it could be that the beta release is still on schedule but the official release is set for late fall? Let us know what you think! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Now that RIM has finally announced the BlackBerry Torch 9810, 9850, & 9860 we can learn about the official specs. The press release was very light on the actual details but the product pages on the main BlackBerry site are much better. For example did you know the BlackBerry Torch 9810 is coming in two colors grey and silver? I also like how the 9850 & 9860 are labeled "All-Touch." There is quite a bit of good info in there including measurements and battery life comparisons. All three announced BlackBerry 7 lines are now plastered on the homepage of BlackBerry.com and you can sign up for more updates on the product pages.
