Patience is a Virture - and Necessary for New Phones!

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

The Blackberry Bold is STILL getting reviewed by AT&T, we heard the Samsung Omnia was approved by the FCC with North American 3g -again, the Nokia 5800 Express won’t be, well, anywhere until 2009… Regardless of the new phone you’re excited about, you’re almost guaranteed to have to wait for it! Here’s the latest news on the yet-to-arrive gadgets!

AT&T Boldly Takes its Time getting the Blackberry to Market

One of RIM’s CEOs eluded that part of the reason behind the Bold delays is an attempt to avoid the flurry of complaints Apple found themselves under this summer. Although the original release date was said to be sometime this summer, we’re still waiting on this Blackberry beauty, and with no revised release date, at that. Although it does look promising that the Storm and the Pearl 8220 will be released this season, the extended wait on the Bold is doubtlessly hurting RIM.

Samsung Omnia’s Almost to the U.S. - yet again

It looks like the Omnia will be coming to AT&T on the 3G network? I think? As fun as confusing news articles are, I’m ready for some definitive news on this one. When will it be here and will it be 3G capable?

Nokia 5800 Not So Express

One of Nokia’s most sell-able phones yet, the 5800 (a.k.a. the Tube) runs S60 5th Edition, making it a high powered smartphone, and also a huge 3.2-inch 640 x 360 resistive touchscreen, a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash, GPS, WiFi, 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD slot with support for 16GB cards, and comes in a variety of colors, making it one of the funnest smartphones around. The only thing? The “early next year” release date scares us for a few reasons (see above stories). Here are some pics to tide us over in the meantime!

Blackberry covers the Bases

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Ahhh… fall’s a time for back-to-school, football, cool weather, and… new Blackberrys? You bet! Blackberry is set to debut several new handsets this fall, with a variety of features and, surprisingly enough, shapes, so get ready! Regardless of your taste, there’s sure to be a new Berry that’ll suit your needs coming out soon.As if Blackberry hasn’t made enough variations on its tried and true 8300 Curve, one more is coming to Sprint, as an addition to its iDEN line. The Blackberry Curve 8350i is a yellow-accented-black Curve offering Direct Connect service, Wifi, Bluetooth, integrated GPS, a 2mp camera, and plenty of office-friendly apps to make this a great corporate / construction phone. Another addition - PTT for an up-to-20-person convo.A Blackberry Flip? It can’t be true… Oh but it is, my friend. In a twist on the 8100 Pearl series, Blackberry is bringing the Pearl Flip 8220 to T-Mobile. An exceedingly lightweight cell at just 3.6 ounces, the 8220 also brings Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, and tons of battery life.It’s rumored that the Blackberry Bold will hit AT&T on October 2nd, and with all the hype it’s been getting, it better be. We’ve been waiting for this sleek, professional beauty since it made things official in mid-May, and anyone who held out through iPhone-mania for the Bold is ready.With a PTT Blackberry and a Blackberry Flip, it’s obvious Blackberry is exploring new horizons, and what better horizon to explore than the oh-so-popular touchscreen market the iPhone has inspired? While the Storm (previously known as the Thunder) is reportedly still working out some bugs, I think the full touchscreen looks pretty sweet, and I have faith in Blackberry’s faith to its name that the glitches will be worked out in no time.

AT&T BlackBerry Bold Release — Set for October

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Hot news just in from Boy Genius Report claiming that AT&T is going to announce the availability of the BlackBerry Bold within the next month.  The date for release is not completely set, as they gave us the date of October XX (what are we in 6th grade Algebra again?).  So get your work pools set and pick a date to bet on, because your guess is just as good as ours.  The release was dated for yesterday, but so far it hasn’t been technically “released” so I am betting that they are waiting for a keynote to announce this along with other fun tech items at CTIA.  Check out the release below, and then catch more information about the BOLD after the break.

  

What You Need to Know About the BlackBerry Bold

  •  BlackBerry Bold is claimed the “Best BlackBerry Ever
  •  Bold will be available through the AT&T networks on October XX (coming soon!)
  •  The BlackBerry Bold will run on the 3G network = super fast speeds = great for Internet/e-mail
  •  The BlackBerry Bold will be available for $299.99 (pending contract requirements)
  •  Built-in GPS and WiFi capabilities

BlackBerry Bold Brings it to the Table

 

The release of the BlackBerry Bold is going to be true “tell-all” moment.  RIM brought the BlackBerry to life years ago and undoubtedly changedthe concept of business forever.  Then Apple stepped through the door and brought its A-game with the Apple iPhone.  Now here we are and BlackBerry is about to ante up and deliver the BlackBerry Bold … and from what I can tell, this could be a homerun.  The sleek look, elegant design and mere innovation of this phone is stellar.  On top of that, the 3G capabilities paired with built-in GPS make this phone a “must-have” in the smartphone world.  I just have a feeling about this phone … and I’d bet on it any day.
