Boy Genius Report posted a story earlier today about the BlackBerry Thunder on Verizon. Apparently someone got a snapshot of the upcoming Verizon product catalog sporting the BlackBerry Thunder 9530. As we all have heard, the Thunder is RIM going toe to toe with Apple and their iPhone (though you wont get anyone from RIM saying that). For the image follow the more link.
Reeneebob over at Crackberry.com has posted a few new additions to the Bell.ca website. The revamped website is clean, and easy to navigate. More impressive than that, would be the new BlackBerry colors that Bell is offering. The 8330 in red, and the 8130 in both titanium and white. Hit more to see the images.
While carriers across the world have launched the actual device, our Canadian friends may not have too much longer to wait on the device launch for the BlackBerry Bold. BlackBerryNews has posted an article about employee training starting for Rogers as early as next week. While this doesnt signal the launch of the device just yet, it is a necessary first step before the devices can be sold. If the reps dont know anything about it, how can Rogers effectively sell the device?

While some of this is just a confirmation of what is to come, it is nice to have it shown. BlackBerrynews.com has come up with a very detailed report on what T-Mobile will be bringing out the remainder of this year and the beginning of next. Needless to say, it will include the Pearl 8220 (formerly Kickstart) as well as the Javelin. There was one bit of a surprise though, hit the jump for the full article.
In the last few weeks confusion has subsided on the model number of RIM’s first clamshell type device, but now we have a new name for it? The BlackBerry 8220, code named KickStart, now has an official name: BlackBerry Pearl 8220. Wait…the Pearl? isnt that the candybar phone that was RIMs first entry into the consumer market? Yes, indeed it was. However new Rogers promo material shows the device is indeed following in the Pearl lineup. While the poster doesnt give a price, or even a release date, it does show UMA. Rumors still abound that the device will be RIM’s entry level device with a price of around $50. Does this mean the Pearl now has 3 incarnations? RIM might be following in LG’s footsteps with names… (think Chocolate 1, 2, 3) but lets hope they keep the same build quality we have all come to know and love.
Following closely on the heals of Hong Kong and Chile, T-Mobile Germany released the BlackBerry 9000 QWERTZ Version. While subscribers can get the device for as low as 9.95€ (around $15), if you are not lucky enough to hold a plan with them, you can always visit our shop and get it for $825 with no contract and unlocked with free shipping from Germany.
Several sites have reported this already this morning and now its our turn. BlackBerry Unite! was updated to MR2 which brings some interesting features. In addition to the Rich Content Email (commonly called HTML email) rendering, it adds one-click policy resets, the ability to restrict file transfers and change e-mail polling intervals. This is a free service for up to 5 devices and can run on a standard PC. Check out the Download Link for more information.
While Kevin at Crackberry got his hands on an actual device first, Jibi from BlackBerrynews.com was able to grab some fantastic screenshots of the red 8220 simulator. This exclusive is yet another piece of hard evidence that T-mobile will be carrying this device, which has been heralded as RIM’s entry level device. While it is a nice looking flip device, does anyone else wonder if it will break as easily as the famed Motorola Razr?

Looks like MoviStar customers and those close by will be flooding stores for the latest (and greatest) BlackBerry released. The 9000 Bold has been released in Chile by Movistar (part of the Telefonica group). Several news sites have broken the story, but we figured we would give it to you here as well.
